I was always a skidoo guy and have never driven an AXYS (sat on one at a Sneak Peak), hoping for a winner here because my wife is losing her patience with me taking money out of our savings account for my snowmobile decisions. I bought a 2016 Renegade 1200X for this year thinking that was going the sled for me. But after coming off 2011 Skidoo etec 600 i was miserable. The 1200 is fast but heavy so it dosen't come close to handling like my old 600. I miss the 2 stroke powerband, lightness and the FUN. My skidoo buddies are telling me im making the wrong choice(part of the reason i'm going Polaris). Hope i can see them in my mirrors next year. Looking to do some mods to make sure of that, lots of good info in this forum. I'll keep everyone posted as the the time passes, slowly.
