im trying to debate in my mind to buy a 10 or 11 m8 162 standard, im torn about the rear suspension to get fox floats and spend 400 in a revalve kit or get the 11 with coilover, i see the hcr has coilovers in all 4 corners , im 170 lbs and not a jumper just want good ride on rough trails and no hassle shocks. your opinion is appreciated:Ponder:

It is hard to say since I haven't seen or felt the ride of the 2011. I do have the 2010 and planning on getting the re-valve done this year, I have heard nothing but good things from the re-valve kit so I am stoked! If the price is considerably less for the 2010 then I would go with it and re-valve and your laughing and possibly money ahead at the end of the day to spend on a sled trip!...just my :twocents:

I was thinking of a 2010 m8 but decided on the 11 because they were offering 2years full warranty and a bonus 2 years for $1000 extra where as the 10 only had one year, also I dont like fox floats:d
