Sled Weights

[Teth-Air]

Well, unless I am reading it wrong, how am I supposed to believe the sled weights in the latest Snowest magazine?

How could they print this with such a glaring error?

The chart indicated that the Snowest crew filled up the 12"s with fuel and oil and they weighed them. See the astrix next to the weights and the sentence indicating with fuel and oil.

They claim ready to ride:

Cat ProClimb M 800 498 lbs
Polaris 800 Pro RMK 458 lbs
Ski-doo Summit x 800 489 lbs.

Don't they all hold about 60 to 70 lbs of fuel?

I know my 11 Summit was already 505 lbs with less than 1/4 tank of fuel.

These have to be with full oil and fuel tank drained?

Those numbers didn't do anything for their credibility that's for sure. The one thing that you really want to make sure is totally accurate and it's screwed up. Nice work.

my guess is full of all fluids but fuel...that would make sense anyway by those numbers...

THat is what I would guess too.. No way any of them are that light with fuel..

Wasn't the sled weight of the Pro from '12? I guess it just gives you a feel for where they are. Give or take 50lbs!

Last year Weighed my M1100t full of fuel ready to head up the hill and it was 675lbs. Weighed my buddy's M8 50th on same scale immediately after and same thing......full of fuel/oil ready to head up the hill. Only thing done to it was a "thing" can and it weighed 545lbs. Sure have heard a lot of magazines claim they weigh them full of fuel but I've yet to see a proper weight from the magazines compared to what I've seen myself on a scale
