I assuming your talking the trail to the Mountain......Its a sled made for freeriding and jumping in the back country so the trail manners are like most mountain sleds..doable for short periods of time, IN STOCK FORM if you are looking for a 200 mile a day sled on the trails think again!!!

the bigger the bumps and the FASTER you go the beter it is so you will want to be the one leading to set the pace , otherwise you better have a good chiropractor

ya thats what i figured my bro is buying one sometime this season he rides 75% off and 25% on. We ride groomed trails maybe 5 times a year.

Is there anything that can be done to help make it more bearable on those days that more trail riding is involved. I know the sled is not made for it, but there are days that it is necessary because of company. Would any of the followinf help
- reduce front shock air pressure
- reduce front rear chock spring pressure
- reduce rear shock pressure.
- Is there any other adjustments in the rear suspension to make the trail ride more manageable

i have found if you soften the frt susp it becomes tippy in corners (due to lack of a sway bar ) so that doent work . dropping shock pressure dont work either plus you need to return to dealer for recharging . we have to ride 15-20 miles to get into areas to ride and it is bad rough so i just ride off to the side as much as possible because the stutter bumps are killer at slow speed . hope this helps , i would still rather ride my assault then my wifes 155 rmk though
