Pro RMK or Assault RMK

Well people r talking about tunnels bending and crap, I don't want to sink 12k and have that happen. I like to jump but also do a lot of sidehilling and boondocking were the pro stands out over the assault

The Assault sled itself isn't any stronger. Just bigger shocks and wider stance. With the Comp.

People who bend tunnels are likely doing it for stupid reasons like tunnel bags and gas on wooped out trails or what not.

The pro is a very strong sled

The Assault does have much better trail manners because of the infinite adjustability, but the Assault is a little tougher to handle in the powder due to more ski pressure and wider stance. The Pro is poor at best when it comes to absorbing whoops. When my son and I ride I always give him the new Pro to ride back to the truck, I lean back in the old rocking chair VE and enjoy the soft ride.

More ski pressure on the Assault????? The Assault tends to have less ski pressure then the Pro due to the front suspension mounting position. If you move it to the upper position will will increase ski pressure but in the stock, it will be less then the Pro. Hence all the posts on the Assault having the "wheelie" effect.

Go Assault, more adjustability and just plain fun!!

Here's a link to some more good info on the two sleds,
