XM on trails?

[freeride73]

I've had 2 Freerides with XP chassis and now have a '13 Polaris RMK Assault. Thinking of snow checking a '15 Summit XM 154". I live in Saskatoon and go to the mountains 2 times a year. How is the XM on trails and on the flat? Any info is appreciated!

 

[maxwell]

trails and flats are just fine. as long as there is no corners lol. it will handle a corner just fine but it has a tendancy to want to flop over coming into a sharp corner and takes more effort to keep it turning. definitely not a fast trail machine

Your going to buy a summit because you make 2 trips to the mountains a year?

 

[freeride73]

Yup, or I have to buy a Renegade!!! There isn't enough track for the mountains!!! There are mostly summits out here 154" Unless you lending yours (oler1234) out for my mountain trip? lol

There is lots enough snow in Northern SK for a mountain sled, You'd be surprised.

 

[maxwell]

if i was you i would be ditching one of your XP freerides and picking up a XM Freeride 154

Have you seen the prices of a renegade over a summit? If you are going to the mountains ONCE a year you should still be buying a summit.

x18 on the no fast corner XM.

I'll be using my new 174" t3 on trails in alberta intermittantly ...... Extra scratchers

 

[freeride73]

Don't let oler1234 hear that Semmitric!!! lol Just having fun! That's exactly what i'm thinking T-Team. Just wasn't sure how wobbly the XM is on trails, corners, and flats?

when was the last time you were on a trail in Alberta? seems to me it was when you screwed yourself up in that battle with the tree in Swan Hills area.......

 

[Summitric]

I was back up there a month later

Well I could rent yea a 180hp big bore if you want plus tour guide into undisclosed areas around golden.... Comes with a price though.

i don't know sask and I don't ride there. Just pointing out the obvious. Mayby a renegade is just as pricey as a summit but it is built more for your conditions I would think...

 

[freeride73]

When you ride two totally different areas you have to compromise on both ends

 

[lilduke]

2015 XM freeride,,, no compromising....

And that there says it all. You simply can't have it all.


Sent from my phone ---- is anyone there ?????

 

[Summitric]

Yup, xm freeride would doo you perfectly

 

[ferniesnow]

it was said earlier but I will repeat! It isn't a sled to trail ride at 90 mph especially if it is set up for the powder. So if you enjoy racing on the trail (not that I condone that concept), the longer Summits aren't the best. Sure nice when the snow is deep..........just saying

 

[catrutt]

The stablizer bar makes a big difference the quick disconnect works great also just go to the wide stance when on trails at home

 

[freeride73]

Still think I'm going with the Race Orange E-Start 154" Summit!!

Not that I do a lot of trail riding but the times I do my XM 154 is fine in SK. And it's good in the mountains, too. So a great choice for SK sled with 2 mtn trips per year. This year I'll be at 4 trips and I care most about mtn riding, so I'm going to snowcheck a T3.
