I currently have an 05 Renegade 600 SDI and am looking to upgrade this year to either an 09 Renegade or 09 Summit.
I live in WI and have ridden for the most part on trails my entire life. Over the past couple of seasons I've ridden off trail and really enjoy any opportunity I find now to do so. However, I've found the Renegade can be a bit lagging at times in deeper snow conditions, so therefore was considering moving to a 146 Summit, preferably the 800.
I do ride trails still, especially when with the family, so I'd say I'm on the trail still about 60% of the time (in Northern WI and UP). What type of trail manners would the Summit have with the 2.25" lug and 146" track on groomed trails? Would I be fighting the machine the entire time while on trail? And snow conditions can a lot of times be minimal in my area.
I also wanted a sled that I could take a trip out west with and not be completely stuck!
All thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.
Regards
