Ok i may be out of line and i just got to say that this is my personal thinking. I have rode for extended periods all three 2 stroke mountian sleds. I live in wyoming i ride in alot of deep canyons with deep bottomless powder. I can honestly say the friends i swaped sleds with for the day had no complaints about my m8.The dragon is very impressive i would have to say it comes in second it has manners alot like the acrtic cat it is a little uncontrollable and unpredicictable at times and just does not have the low end torque of the arctic cat. Now the ski doo xp first of why are still making a mountian sled with out fuel injection???? I dont care how well you can jet it is always off. this damn thing rides like a tank felt like i was completly out of control every time i pushed the throttle. (which by the way is way hard to push). I dont care what any magazine says is the best sled buy i have given all three a chance and the M8 snow pro 162 comes out on top every time. It has the best manners best traction best sidehill maners best highmarks in the steep and deep. The artic cat still has some quarks but with some common sense and a little patients (and a little help with thie forum) yours too can be the best 800cc mountian sled on the mountian PERIOD...
