Shocks are in. Just need drivers and I can get this beast out for testing.

That sled of Bennys definitely get up and goes out of the hole. Looks like to me its the quickest one in the vid.

Excellent videography. You can see the side profile of the sled’s while climbing. Videoing the exhaust side of the engine is great for listening to the motor and clutching. No sarcasm at all. I put on headphones to listen for the engine changing rpm and listen to how quick or slow the backshift happens.


I also look for track spin and where it happens on the runs. There ate some telling things to see on this vid. Vid is a great tool to help tune from. You get a bird eye view, you can hear the engine/clutching, see the ground speed and how the suspension is or is not working.

Cool, a track poaching competition. What are we, in 1995? Hit the fresh. Show the true story.

LOL I’m not sure what I just watched? Why was everyone coming back down the bunny hill single file in the same track, and then going back up in the same tracks? Weird

Looks like the poopha was trenching pretty good, you will have to use some cat drop brackets or modify the Polaris drop brackets to get it up and out of the snow. Good luck

I thought the Twin piped Polaris 850 had the best suspension setup. It rode nice and flat, good traction with minimal wheelies. It seems like the power is there but it’s just not getting to the ground somehow. It’s like it wants to breath but can’t. It’s a lot of tinkering being a pioneer for new sled performance stuff in the mountains. I have confidence in Chrisco. He ain’t giving up till she’s rippin’. He gonna either work it out or throw it out!

At least we are out riding our sleds, testing and having fun. Thats all that matters. If you want to be desk riders, thats great. Haven't seen any footage from either of you. Your insightful and strong intellectual comments are appreciated tho.

Pipes are coming off, I / we have tried many combos to get it right but with there map its just not making the power it should be. I will post what we have found, clutching was as good as its gunna get. It does climb good when im not on it lol. Also to be fair I am packing a complete secondary clutch and tools in the back ffs..... just saying.

one things clear to me, that Alpha Pro picks up speed FAST. Id say it has to do with the polaris being the lightest and now has the most traction, with the right clutching. you guys can sit here and bark about track poaching blahblah but just watch close and take what you can from the video provided, Lots of signs of whats going on in the video. Highmarking is a thing of the past, which sled would you rather have in a tight button hook around a cluster of trees on a 35 degree slope when the only way out is back up?
