On another note, for those who think the drag doesn't mean much, the axys is the first sled I ever had that you can feel it lift out of the snow when you pedal with your feet. When I was barely going, a couple of times, I pushed with my feet and you could feel it lift and pick up speed.

Thanks for this, this can mean that suspension set up is more important as mine set at 40" wide (center) and did not want sit on one ski.
IMO I Just dont get all the hype. Sounds like they work great for those that want to ride like Burant.
hopefully they have improved alot since i rode the last Pro assault. rode like a brick on the trail and had to wait for the clutch to spool up wondering if I would have enough power to climb the hill I was on.
Unfortunately everyone does not have the same riding ability, seat time or opportunities to ride and as you may find out in years to come that as you age your balance is not what it used to be. Sucks to get old.
I really get a kick out of how you can keep them on a line in the trees. Last I checked the trees in the mountain are always in rows or a straight line
In regard to tipping them over, maybe someone will use a straight edge and draw a line from the edge of the ski along side the panels and explain how any of brands will hold an edge if they are tipped over that far. logic would indicate they would all wash out on that steep of hillside.
yes I ride doo, yes I would like to try an axys or cat. I am glad there are different options, if everyone was the same they would only offer one sled and it would be black

Dude seriously......
Listen to yourself.
You live in Minneapolis.......
Yes the fat sleds panel out.
Yes the pro and the axys both can set the handlebars on the garage floor without hitting a side panel.
Meadow munchies doesn't require a mtn sled.
A flexy trail sled gets it done.
Living in MN is a moot point. I have ridden in many out West since the late 80's riding machines without risers, 2-3" paddles, less hp and weighed less than the new sleds do now that most would not dreamed of taking off trail. Did we make it to the top? yes, it just took a little more time. Did we have a blast? YES
So if I put a little wider bar on my sled, then it would not panel out right...

Even ski-doo riders think they are too wide. This video shows why Rasmussen uses aftermarket skinnier panels.
