what should I get ?? leaning towards switchback , I do mainly fast trail riding in ont .
That's exactly what I'm doing.I couldn't agree more ... especially the weight comments Brock makes. I had the Anniversary Edition 800 Pro-S last year, and although I loved the sled the Pro-S was way too soft for me (I go close to 280 geared up). Had I kept it, I would be sending my shocks out for a revalve and the 150# rate springs that are on the Pro-X. But since I sold it, I have snowchecked a 2016 Pro-X Switcher ... and cannot wait!
No. One of the reasons I love it. On ALL my previous sleds with stock suspension I would have to ride just a hair nervous saying for that hard hit or big off camber bump that would either slam the sled or send it out it into the cheap seats. With the X I really don't worry about it I'm confident that it will take pretty much any hit , g roller, or big off camber I run into. Does that mean it's infailable of course not. When I first started riding it I'd come up on a hit like your talking about squeeze the grips and prepare to get slammed, but it didn't come after a couple hundred miles of thinking ohhh shit I finally was able to relax and just let the sled do the work as I gained confidence in it. I'm a very happy with the X. Which doesn't mean the S isn't a great sled I just prefer the capability of the XDoes the Pro X hit hard when riding at cruising speeds and that big bump sneaks up on you
Talked to a buddy of mine yesterday who works at FXR. FXR has a Pro X in their fleet with the Z Bros front end and the Pro S sway bar. He says that it rails corners and that nothing can touch it in the rough. Also being a motocross rider doesn't hurt either.Does the Pro X hit hard when riding at cruising speeds and that big bump sneaks up on you
Tim's sled runs great,after riding his sw pro x it convinced me to sell my turbo viper rtx le and buy another Polaris,thanks a lot Tim lol
I'm a switchback guy now. It has better top speeds then the shorty in the shoot outs.
If your 225 lbs +. The s version is a little soft. The x version would be better for guys that weigh 230lbs and up I'm my opinion. I got a pro s switchback and I'm 226 lbs with gear on and sometimes the springs are a little soft in the big hits. I'm valving my fts and rear to pro x specs and the springs for this coming season.
What ever you decide, the axys chassis is the best out there for fun, confidence and railing the corners period!!
I'm glad the S version is working for you.I went 230+ dressed last year.
I disagree. I go 230+ dressed and love my Switchback S. I even had the shock valving softened. It really is a personal preference. I would think a Pro X would be too stiff, For Me. Also, I work on sleds, and have too many customers order too stiff of sleds.
I will be working with Pro X this next winter, so maybe I'll change my tune.
