What sleds should I look at? - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

mango · 06-16-2006, 01:53 PM

I'm a skier who uses my sled for access to the backcountry. I basically ride up roads to where the sking is and walk from there. It sounds like easy sledding but it is often very demanding due to untraveled steep roads or side hilling across avalanche debris....I currently have a Ski-doo Summit that has been ported, piped and has 2" paddles. I love the power and it's abliity to power through deep snow. It recently siezed a ring and need new cylinders/pistons so I'm considering something new. I've ridden my brothers 800 Rev and really like the handling but I am quite keen to get on a 4 stroke because they don't stink as much. I really hate sitting in the vortex of swirling 2 stroke exhaust. Who makes a rev style ride with a 4 stroke in it and how reliable are they? How well do they plow through or skip across deep untracked bottomless powder?

Thanks

Maybe a phazer Mountain lite. They may be underpowered, Not sure. But there 4 strokes. They look kinda funny too. Looks like somethnig homemade. Still a 2 stroke but maybe a New Dragon RMK, by polaris. The 4-stroke market is just starting to boom. So theres few options atm. But there will be LOTS in the years to come with the Emissions Shtuff.
