Ok, just as I mentioned in the above post, I would give "my" impression of the SW MTX. First of all, the sled is a rocket ship! The sled just flat out rips. Let me discuss the positive things first. Power is amazing. Fit and finish I thought were great. In deep snow is where this sled really shines. Yes, you can feel the extra weight. This is not a sled for a new rider. The sled is best in the hands of an experienced mountain rider. The sled is pretty easy to handle in deep snow and on the trail. In moderate snow, it was more of a work out. I guess I should also state that I currently own two G4's, one 165" and one 175". I owned an AXYS prior to that. The sled that I rented in Cooke was bone stock, no changes at all. Things I believe would make the sled better would be, Ski's and better suspension setup. It was kinda weird how it would push in moderate snow but not on the trail. Thing climbs insanely well, but definitely dives when you let off the throttle. It also likes to trench. Now other people I'm sure may have had different experiences. This thing is head and shoulders better than my turbo Nytro was. I'm glad I rode it for the day. I was really on the fence about buying one. However, after my experience, I think staying on a two stroke better suits my style of riding. Not looking for folks to agree or disagree with me, just providing my opinion. Ride what ya like.
