The IQ suspension is upgraded every year with little improvements. IQ suspension is arguable one of the beat suspensions out there for the mountains.
The 07 Dragon 700 is being praised as the best out there. BUT I think that is a self serving prophecy to justify buying a 07 Dragon new for $10,000.
Most people are realizing a 600 to 700 cc sled is pretty good out the box unless you spend dollars in upgrades.
If you mean competition by racing .. etc. The new new thing will beat out the old stuff given the same conditions.
The most important factor separating the new technology from the old technology is operator use and experience.
Do you have the experience and expertise to realise the extra benefit fron a change in skis, spindle design, a new type of track and so on?
As for myself ... I know the difference on paper but in real world applications the price for the new new thing is out of reach. I bought a near new Polaris RMK for more than 40% of retail. The sled was a year old when I bought it.
I am taking the added savings on the sled and using the money to fund more sled trips.
