I love mine !!
Spent alot of time on my buddies last year and finally bought one this year, as far as out of the crate gas oil and GO I haven't rode a better sled ( I've rode the new- cats, Etech, and nytro)
The biggest pro to the PRO in my opinion is it's predictability, I always know how the sled will react regardless of snow conditions, especially when sidehilling!

This thread is useless without snow.
i went from my 09 to a 11 and i love it, may not have the power of the other brands, but it do's what i want it to do and then some!
Approximately 1100 miles on my 2011 155" from last year. I love the sled. If a worn out flat lander like me can keep up with experienced mountain riders it says something about the sled. But of course they were on Arctic Cats so maybe this doesn't count. I"ll be on a 2011 163" this year. I don't like the rear bumper and the exhaust leaks on both sleds. Oil all over the belly pan on both sleds. This problem has since been remedied from all the advice I received from people like you here on snowest. Thanks for all the info! Sleds are loaded up and ready to head out to Cooke City on Sunday. It is snowing here now in Northern Minnesota. We have a 100% chance of a white Christmas.
hmm
Here's some snow from this year.
That's what they look like after bustin 2+ feet all day, damn near non stop,,,, notice they still collect a little!!!!

I love mine I have a couple hundred miles on mine now. I am coming off of a Nytro and the Pro feels like a little toy compared to the big four stroke. Took it to the big horns a couple weeks ago and was taking lines i would never have even thought about on the Nytro.
Still needing some time on my Assault, but the early results are promising.
Only at 57 break-in miles so a ways to go yet before the engine has loosened up, but so far it seems to have above adequate power to me..
Just have to get the suspension adjusted properly and I have no doubt she'll be a ripper. Snow conditions I have ridden in to this point have certainly not taxed the chassis, mainly trail riding to this point, waiting for some white gold to hit the slopes...

When I got on my 08 Dragon it seemed that sledding could not get any better, it was so easy to ride compared to the 02 RMK. When my 800 Dragon 163" with the SLP set up was getting beat on every pull by my buddies 155" stock Pro it was time to upgrade. I have no regrets so far!!!
One breakin ride and 47 miles so far without a hiccup.Coming off an 09 D800.I had my buddy along on my wifes 09 RMK700 for comparison.The new pro is much easier to lay over than the IQ[not that they where ever hard to lay over]Power seems good especially in the bottom to midrange.Only about 3 feet of snow so no sidehilling or venturing out of the meadows yet as I could see the landmines.We need a good storm to dump another couple of feet.I had to adjust the brake lever down it only goes so far then the master cyl hits the cross brace,but it will be better next ride out.Jury is still out weather I need one more inch of bar rise.It ran at 135 on the semi packed trail without the scrathers down,126 with them down,IQ stays at 125 all the time.I broke it in fairly hard no real babying it but never overheated it or kept it pinned for long.8150 was the highest RPM I saw.I love this sled after a 76 mile demo last spring.Only used 22l of fuel in 47 miles can you say stingy,thats gonna save some real cash.Next time out I am leaving my spare fuel at home
I got mine and went through the break in period and after about the first 60 miles the sled came alive.
Compared to other sleds i have ridden it will make an average rider look like a pro.
IMO if you put the two riders of the same ability one with the RAW chassis and one with a PRO the raw chassis rider will be discouraged all day because he will be left in the dust stuck in the trees with the rider on the pro riding circles around him.
