make sure you post it..they have been saying the powdermax is about 5# heavier
A note to add.
My buddy weighed my 154 X XP. All stock no can. Full of gas, oil, prestone. Ready to ride it was 529lbs.
08 700 Dragon on same scale ready to ride was 600lbs.
05 RMK 900 151 some things taken off and lightweight can was 620lbs.
I found it very interesting that the Dragon was only 20lbs lighter, grant it the 900 has a lightweight can.

No spare belt and no belt pieces in the belly pan yet so that's a couple pounds
How much lighter is the dragon?

Mines about half a ton with me on it ready to ride, but it will destroy any of the above mentioned sleds and any thing they come out with for the next five years...
Yeah well..... I hear Suburbans will destroy a Porche in the crash up derby and probably will for the next 25 years... But who cares the Porche sure is a lot more fun to ride. And at the end of the day it's all about how you like to ride what and where you ride them. I think you post was a bit on the (I wish my sled was that light envy side). But thats just my opinion.
Cheers
Not only that, but Apex9420t claimed in another thread that his sled would be untouchable for the next 4 years. Now it's 5 years. The thing keeps getting better with every post.....haha

I agree the Turbo Apex does flat out move...but too much weight for the deep pow and boondoking. I thought about one...but the more I thought about it I just could not handle the weight.
Yeah well maybe your just too much of a p*ss! like the rest of us light weight sled riders. I heard of this legend about a guy who had this almighty 9420 turbo tampax ( no offense to the cool guys who ride Turbo Apex's and don't say stupid chit on this 4m) but his sled was so badazz that there wasn't a lightweight sled out there and wouldn't be for atleast 4-5 yrs that his 2000lb tampax couldn't destroy. Boy do I feel like a p*ss! too. I wonder if you have to pass a stud test to be able buy one of those futuristic sleds.
What a dumbazz

Boy does the truth hurt. Didnt say their wasnt a light weight sled out there just not one that can compete. Apex is heavy but it doesnt feel heavy in deep with lots of hp. I just dont want to spend $10000 and poorly built lightweight pos everyyear, Id rather have a heavy tank that rides light with double or triple the hp and is RELIABLE.

Iam arguing with a guy who rides a polaris 900 that fish is as heavy as my apex with no power, not to mention reliability
bring your apex and i'll weigh it. My rmk 900 is 20 lbs heavier than my 08 700
My apex is alot more than 20lbs heavier than your 08 700 whats the point

"polaris 900 that fish is as heavy as my apex"

XP at 529 full of fuel is a good weight. Last time we had sleds that light was back in the 70's. With them you worked on em all week to ride them on Sunday, and still walked home!
I guess everything does go in full circle!
