It has taken 6 rides from my 0ver ten year break to find a comfort level again, yesterday i was able to shred for a couple hrs in the trees, up and down hills and a bunch of technical side hills. My polaris is easier to ride but wow this gen 5 doo turbo 165 is a beast once you get used to it. It has so much power it will get you out of spots you would never think was possible!!
