The sled I rode at the big dawg was the same guy we helped up the top of Monster. The power felt really close to my Apex once it was going. It just wasn't as responsive out of the whole as the Apex. I chopped the throttle and hit it again several time and the power was right there. Over all was pretty impressed, but I think I will be sticking with my Apex. No offensce!

Well i know that the guy that mrcoop is talking about said that his works very well.. And that he is able to come part way down a hill and hack a u-turn and go back up.. I've talked to several guys with yammies that say that they are not able to do that id they even think about it they are already stuck.. In my opinion i have a hard time beleiving that a heavy yammy feels the same as coops buddies M1000T as the M is over 100lbs lighter dry weight than an apex and at 10lbs boost it made 250hp and for over half the winter he ran it at like 16lbs boost.. So in my opinion it boils down to HP to weight ratio..

Never said they feel the same! Not knocking the sled at all, it works really well. Some times weight savings is not all it is cracked up too be. Example- when it comes to climbing M-10 heavy, verus light weight skid. I will be taking the M-10. Come out and try them both,then you deside, I have and it is just my opinion.

Huh???????
It really comes down to ride what you like, and whatever suits your riding style. Everybody has a reason why they ride what they ride, so just have fun. If people want to compare there stuff and compete, well thats fine too, but to come right out and say one is better than another without comparing them on the hill...well that makes no sense.

Great opinion........... like you said, you rode them & it wasn't for you!!! Seems like someone has a hard time with your opinion though!!! :cool:
It's all about the "heavy Yammy" all the time, but not too many getting pulled off the hills are there???? :d
Sorry for the mini rant, but getting ticked at the narrow-minded people who can't see everything out there is good!!!!:mad:

I am just saying what i think.. Is it wrong for me to have my own opinion.. I'm not saying that there aren't peeps out there can do some wicked riding with them and they absolutely love them.... But they just aren't my thing..
