Nice sled. I have to say though i am baffled by the "low rider" seat. I can't understand how a super low seat is a good thing for a mountain sled. Taller is always better for mountain riding. Unless you are Levi Lavallee jumping this thing 400 feet or backflipping maybee i can understand Lol

Easier going from side to side. What is with all the need to taller seats? Do guys do a lot of riding sitting down?
Anyways, cool looking sled!

no its just easyer to go from sitting to standing with a high seat but i see the benefit with the low seat too.i sometimes get my leg with the seat when moving side to side.
Agree, when your climbing or boondocking your not sitting anyways. the lower seat makes it much easier/faster to throw your leg over back and forth

I guess it all depends on how tall you are. if you are a short guy then its no biggie you won't understand the issue. but if over 6 feet tall, a low seat makes it much harder on the knees going from sitting to standing position all day.
I just received it back from skinz where they applied the black treatment to my existing NW turbo. Front mount where the intake is hidden under the air frame hood. Sleeper except the AFR, fuel controller, and boost gauge give it away.
I love the seat, but no riding time on it yet. The original air frame seat was nice and high good for sit to stand transition, but who sits and ride in the mountains? I never parked my butt on it unless I was on the trail headed to the powder or back out. It was really too high for boon docking where I need a quick transition from left to right. Now it's super easy to get from one side of the sled to the other.
Mods include Skinz new reinforced front subframe, skinz concept front a-arms with evol R shocks and 7" slydog powder hound skis, 2012 timbersled rear skid with 162" ice age black rails and evol R shocks with 162" camoplast extreme 2.5" track, OFT wheels and axle kit, skinz T chromoly steering post (OFT post forward kit) and skinz risers with skinz handlebars, OFT roest upper vent kit, Skinz air frame hood, skinz mount for speedo/gauges, skinz air frame foot rails, ballistic 12 cell battery, XXX mod rods side panel vent kit, skinz air frame low free-ride seat, powder coat outside and inside of tunnel, cut rear tunnel and new skinz bumper kit with LED tail light, yoshi under tunnel exhaust, and NW turbo!
It's ready. Where is the snow?
