Husky FC 450 with Yeti 120 or 129?

[Mawgly]

Hi!
I got Husky FC450 2017.
My weight is 160 lbs.
I will ride in deep powder and mountains.

I don't want to loose fun factor, but I need good ability to hill climbing and floating in powder.

Which yeti is better for me 120 or 129?
May be 120 is enough for my weight and bike...

Mawgly,

At your weight on a 450 you can rip a 120 or a 129 YETI.

The 129 is a bit better in the deeper snow with an extra 4.5” of track ( one row of paddles on the snow) .

The 120 will generate track speed a bit faster and it is 5lbs lighter.

The shorter 120 will feel a bit quicker reacting, but the 129 is great overall.

Your weight will go anywhere anyhow, when you are on the pipe.

I am not sure where you are located, but there are some dealers closing out of last years 2016 YETI’s for $6999 USA$ or $7999 Canadian. Plus there will be some 2017s left that are not sold on dealer showrooms in October/November.

Either way you will be smiling! And blowing by your buddies on their competitor units, that is the easy part.

I'm debating the same thing for my KX450F. I weigh 195 though. Pretty strong expert on a moto and pretty decent on a sled and thinking I might like the lighter feel of the 120". Wish I could demo them first. Wondering if the 129" might be better at first but after a bunch of days could the 120" be more fun? A lot of my time will be up Guardsman Pass near Brighton ski area in Utah, so a lot of powder. Can anyone else with a Yeti weigh in?

I ride the same areas and I am the same weight... be it a Timbersled... every time I ride my friends short tracks I wish I would have went the 120 route.... I read of the 137... just track speed alone is helpful... that being said I think the 129 is a great balance... at the end of the day early season and huge dumps are the only times I am glad to have a Lt.

I think the 129 is a great length. I do wish it was a factory option with Timbersled. I can't tell from your profile where you ride but the 129 does a good job of bridging the difference between the 120 and 137.

Gordy,
We're gonna get 600" this year. Get the 129!
Seriously though, i don't think you can go wrong either way.I personally would go with the 129 inch.
