Wow sleds have changed so much. I want to buy a sled and went to a dealer today to take a look and boy ohh boy how sleds are completely different from when I was young and rode my dad's 89 bombardier sleds. I learned quite a bit of information but I wanted the members opinions and expertise.
I want a sled that can do both trail riding and mountain riding but primarily trail riding for now until I gain enough experience to tackle the mountains.
Things that I for sure want are:
-I only want to buy Ski-Doo
-I must add a 2 up seat
Questions I have for you are:
-How much HP would be needed? Sometimes I will be alone and other times I will have my other half on with me and need enough power for both trails and mountains.
-Should I get 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
-What is the best track length? I want a track length that I don't get stuck all the time but also one that's agile for trails. Maybe meet somewhere in the middle?
-Is worth getting extended warranty?
The dealer I spoke to today recommended I go with this Renegade Backcountry Rotax E-TEC 800R:
He said I would just add the 2 up seat and foot posts for the passenger. He said the 800 would ensure myself plus a passenger could get through the snow on trials or in the mountains. I told him the only other thing I would want to add is pull start because it was only electric and he said that's no problem.
Any feedback from you guys with some experience would be great :d
