What do you boys think of this for a mountain sled?
Polaris XLT suspension
Twin Fast pipes
2" * 136" track
Side hill skis???
Was it worth the $$$$$$$$$?

That depends on the $$$$$. I've heard the XLT suspension is kind of rock hard. And is 136" enough in the mountains?

there shouldn't be anything wrong with the suspension, xtra-10 right?... as for the track, the longer the better say some, but ask anyone and they will say its more the rider than the sled...
and the sidehiller ski's... AWSOME, as of right now i will never ride with another pair, i'de like to see the SLP poweder pro's though.

i think the sled will be good out there, its not a 156 in.x 2in 1000 cc rocket but it sure will be fun... and you can actually control it on the trails too.

the 136 is a good track thats what ive got but I would like a bigger track

i think it looks great. kinda weird a poo suspension in a doo tho.

royboy · 01-04-2006, 07:12 PM

That can was placed there by my riding buds. As you can see there is no windshield which came off due to rolling the sled down a nice big hill... That can was the last beer i had before rolling it.
The sticker above the can reads "Zero Alcohol Till the End of the Day".

royboy · 01-04-2006, 07:14 PM

That suspension is great... it's about 2/3 the weight of the old doo doo suspension and has a lot more travel.

94zr580 · 01-04-2006, 07:19 PM

did u put it in or buy it with it in. i see u have drop brackets on it too.

royboy · 01-04-2006, 07:21 PM

My 2 good riding buds and I put it in... took about 2 hours. Not bad for a 100 dollar suspension off e-bay.

Very nice sled ! Ski-doo makes a good machine but from what ive seen thier rear suspension always sucked! My buddies sc-10 rear suspension in his formula is terrible, you cant go wrong with a polaris rear set-up. 136 is the best track size too. PERFECT!

BskidooC · 02-06-2006, 06:51 PM

if you want to come up here ill show you places were its dead in the water just to much snow no mater how good of a rider you are take it from me a person thats done way more powder riding than trail riding wich is quite a bit

lysne · 02-06-2006, 09:25 PM

is that with or with out the beer can

royboy · 02-10-2006, 05:42 PM

There is never enough powder... I'm pretty sure there is more up here in B.C. than CO (colorado right?)

BskidooC · 02-11-2006, 11:04 PM

Ill find you powder up here where your dead with a 151 espeasilly when you get into hill climbing
what elevation are you at
10,000 feet here and there can be up to 10 feet in town of snow and easily 10 more in the back country
think you can ride 20 feet of powder and not get stuck
dont think so buddy

illwerral · 02-12-2006, 09:17 AM

Just outta curiousity, have people gotten stuck and then drowned in that 20' of powder

?
