I see you are sponsored by Polaris handlebar bags...
sounds great, what are the sled specs?
impressive, I have been sold on the RTK stuff for a while, this just keeps pushing me in the same direction

Sweet, that mapping sounds good.
It is hard to tell what the performance improvements are until you have a stocker on the same hill.
Your next move is to put the helmet cam on somebody with a stocker or a piped 800 Pro (2013 or 14) and do some hill drags, etc to compate.
Or film from the bottom and make some highmarks on one sled and follow up with the other.

This sled continues to impress me every ride it just gets better and better!
chest mount doesnt seem to work very good for climbing, so sorry for the handle bar and afr view in most of this but you can see the map is pretty good this way

For comparison I was there the next day at the bottom of most of those climbs that were done if you look in the video there are all kinds of tracks about a 150 yards up the hill and they all turn around and Kinzer's track goes out the top so in my book the sled works well and being a good rider helps a lot to.

the third climb ( the tumbnail one for the video itself) you can see 2 stuck holes and many turn arounds at the bottom.(those were made by a stock pro 155) with all the boulders still exposed you had to come in slow and controlled and have the torque and track to get your speed back, unable to get any kind of a real run in. I tried to get a couple of the guys in my group on stockers to try and track poach a few of those lines, but nobody felt confident enough that they could make it with out rolling back to the bottom. In my opinion an uphill drag race means next to nothing... finding a technical line in good snow or even an open line in good snow would be the best comparison to show stock vs this set up, and i will try and get some video of that this weekend as were suppose to get a couple feet of fresh
Track speed in powder with the 156X3 has been right around 50 give or take a little depending on how heavy the snow.
