$850 is getting you the injection, of course it is going to be more money. I am not saying its worth it, but its going to me more however you look at it. Even if it was cheaper to manufacture it, they are going to charge a higher premium for it.
The extra weight on the freeride is the RS chassis, its a heavier and stronger chassis, plus the extra weight of the shocks and the non-ported track.
Last years 154 was 446 and 163 was 452 for X's. From the spec sheets.
Freeride is a beefed up hillclimbing machine with its wide stance. If you ride the mountains, boondock and love powder the Summit is still your sled! For an unfortunate high price for the Freeride you still get a lighter sled than the other guys (Poo,Cat, Yammy) are giving you in a better chassis and better motor.
Lots of 2011 model banter on the main page.

last time i checked my 08 summit 163 was 434, where the hell are they adding the lead weight at 489lbs for the freeride. I mean for 16000 youd think you would get something lightweight lol.
How come the freeride Official dry weight is 489 lbs man that alot, and the other sleds like the new summits weights the same as last year of 2010.
