Are the freerides any stronger than the 163 summit.
Depends where you ride. My buddy lives in NS and they are all trail riders. Ski-doos just fall apart over there with how many miles they put on. They ride Yamaha.
They are. Extra chassis bracing Aswell. However they don't handle like a summit so don't go in the wrong direction. A summit can take a ton of abuse Aswell
Which sled would hold up better for a bigger rider, say 6'4" and 250lbs. I always wanted to get a sled, but am worried how they would hold up when they seem to be designed with a 150-175lbs. rider in mind?
The new 2014 freeride handles alot better than the 2013,, no comparison at all,, A buddy has one already and its sick.
It will be mountain sled of the year IMO.
I have one coming,, I really thought about the X, But then I was going to have to brace it up more
and spend 3gs on shocks so freeride it is.
The thing boondocks awesome,, I garrentee I will have No problems keeping up to a 163x in the trees.
(I got a 174 also just in case..lol)
Hmmm. That sounds suspect. Where did you get the 174 from? I assume it is a Pro Ride?
I was tempted to sno check the 154" and throw a 156" x 3" track under it!
The 2.5 flex edge track works really good and you'll loose some of the ease of riding by switching tracks..my 2cents
that and your skis will never touch the ground. Ever.
