2009 Phazer MTX

Any comments on the 2009 Phazer MTX?

Thinking about getting one but wanted some feedback before I make a purchase. I realize its a mountain sled, but I'm curious on how fast it will go?

Looks like its a blast in the powder

Thanks

I know its a little underpowered for serious hill-climbing. Looks like a great boon-docking machine though.

I'm also looking for something thats low-maintenence,reliable, and hold's its value.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there some issues with the Phazers overheating a couple years ago?

if your set on 2 extra strokes per cycle id go with the nytro if not check out the crossfires there good all around sleds with power to keep you competitive, first off the 2" paddle wont do you anygood on the trails and the lil 500 4stroke wond have the power in the powder.

Like spun said, If you insist on a 4-stroke get a nytro.

I have several friends who have new 4-stroke Phazer mountain sleds. For what they are they're very cool and can get into and out of some impressive places. If finesse is your style a Phazer is a good choice. Don't expect to sit on your butt and cruise, though. They're tippy but that's what makes them work. They're like riding a motorcycle. If you conquer your environment with speed and horsepower? Don't get a Phazer.
