You being from Quebec with all those groomed trails I would stick to a renagade and stay away from the big flipper tracks. Lube for the slidders may be a issue. Doo you ride the mountains in Northern Quebec or the trails?

I agree a renegade would be better, do you guys in the east pay less for those doo doo`s should be less cause of no shipping.:)

Glad you saw the light and decided to doo the right thing!:) I happen to own both the 800 154 and the 800 renegade 136. The other weekend we were riding whitecourt which is pretty flat but still has 4ft. of snow. I was surprised how much work it took the renegade to work the powder compared to the summit!
Both ride the trails well but the summit gives you the advantage of deep powder riding and hill climbing. I've never had a problem on the trails even with minimal snow .... I personally would lean to the summit 154. Longer than that you will find the back end wants to break loose on you especially lake riding.
Good luck in your decision ... bottom line you can't go wrong with doo :beer::d:beer:
