In it's time "it was the sled to have" and for many, it still is.
I cut my teeth in the mountains with a 98 670x and it was awesome.
I still see tons of them out there because they were/are a great sled.

That's just my opinion.

Yup, the '98 to '99 670x summit really kicks azz........it is still a proven performer hill climbing(especially if a 151" track is installed) and really shines on trails and racing...... Can take on 800's......... Good reliable engine when tuned properly, and the sled does rock!!!

A lot of people say its a very hard sled to maneuver because its so heavy. Is this true?

They are a good sled but the X has the top ring very close to the top of the piston and tends to break this off often. Not sure if I just have bad luck though.

Ya the 670 kicks ass. When I rode on one, I was 16 and 150lbs and I had
no problem at all manuvering it in the mountains,,,they carve great.

As long as its in a s-chassis96+,,,the 95 and older f-chassis was a TANK.

When compared to todays sled, yes, but in it's time it was great.
Still my favorite sled.

Not true, they are easier to maneuver than a Rev!!!!.

1998 and 1999 are the same with DPM technology. 151 track and proper clutching will keep up with many new sleds. Ensure if it is an X that it has had supreme gas run through it because if not then engine may not work much longer for you.
