Rev Chasis--Whats ur take?

i have a 2001 MXZ 500 fan, and we just purchased new sleds for our whole family none of our sleds are from the new rev chasis....i have been looking arond at the new chasis and i am not to impressed on the new look, personally when i am able to purchase a new sled i don't want to get a rev style sled. i think ski doo should bring back there old chasis aswell as make the new rev chasis.....whats utr take?

I can't bring myself to like the looks either. But, after riding one, it's a whole new ballgame! I have to say, "Kudos" to doo for changing the way we ride forever, it is phenominal, nothing like it. But, I also have to say, "What the hell were you thinking, designing it that way?" It's fugly. It makes me like the Firecats even more. I hope they refine it soon.

i thought that they had some regular models? oh well. the rev chasis is somethin you either really hate, or love. i like the new looks, the suspension, and the steering. when riding agressive, you get right over the handlebars, like a bike. when your just goin for a ride, the suspension works perfect and there's no leaning.

I have'nt been on a sled in 20 years and I purchased a '04 mxz-x rev. All I can say is I put 1400 miles on it and never a problem. Awesome ride-what bumps? You stand up and fly over them. Have to admit the first day or so I was sore in the thighs but after that I wanted more.

I personaly love the looks of the REV sleds, defently a little refreshing from the original style ski doos' always had, which still looked kick a$$ might i add.

i guess you love it or hate it, ahh well
