First ride and thoughts

First ride

I suppose I should elabotate some. I love this Sled. Only thing that sort of bugs me are the open foot wells. Coming off an IQ i always dug my feet into them on the trail in and out. I think I will get used to the open foot wells eventually. I like the mid range pull. I like how light the sled feels and how easy it is to roll when moving slowly, very nice for the technical stuff. I did remove the stock track and put on the CE just because I know it is much better for all of the conditions that i have ever ridden in. I cannot stand the poo 5.1 track. I also like how well the sled gets up and stays up on the snow. Really floats well.

My first ride.

Rode my new pro for the first time this weekend. I was pretty dang impressed with the out of the box performance this sled has to offer. Personally, I could care less how the sled handles on the trail. I don't buy a mountain sled to ride the trails. I was amazed at the things I was able to do on this machine. A good acid test: Bring the sled to a complete stop facing downhill on a decent incline (30 degrees for instance) get in a wrong foot forward stance, counter steer, and try to look completely behind you. Apply the throttle and hold on. I was able to do a complete 180 and head directly back up the hill, and I would not say I am an advanced rider. I have tried this on my 09 dragon and several other sleds and would not be able to accomplish this with near as much ease, if at all. I know that probably isn't the greatest review criteria, but it was a good test for me personally. I can honestly say this sled out of the box would walk all over my 09 Dragon when it was in its heyday with a complete slp stage three kit on it. Gotta say I am loving bone-stock right now.

FIRST & SECOND RIDE

Did my second ride Sat, the first ride was in very low snow only rode the roads. I love this thing, I don't why some people are so worried about the power,
this sled will flat out do my 09 Dragon,and it was not stock,Great out the box sled. We had about 2 ft of powder on some what of a base sled get's on top of the snow better than my Dragon did, I love the way it will run at 8200 RPM all day and hold it, we were at about 6000 ft, my Dragon in the same area would only do 8000 to 8050 no matter what I did to make it better, I did clutching, SLP pipe, and PCV, nothing would work. Made a run with the PRO on a field hit 80 mph and was still pulling, if you lay in to this sled better be holding on tight all the way through. I love the 3 minute play back going to be fun to use on some long pulls. THIS SLED IS A KEEPER !
