Are those standard equipment? If not I don't seeing them competing in sales with the aftermarket builders.

I am doing grey white and green. Gf is going black and red and changing the red to pink. Need to find a dealer to take our $2K snow check $$ in Alberta?

I would love to test ride a new freeride to compare it to the mine. With the t motion I wonder if it would lose its ability to survive all the angled jumps and its stability.

Running boards are modified. But seriously wtf did you guys want. I just wanted them not to fawk with the XM it's an amazing sled. If you were looking for a turbo big bore Etec your dreaming

I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A bunch of colors to choose from but big whoop we all wrap our sleds anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave the XM as is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy that I got the 13...... 14 proves on not having to improve on perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do want to change my grab handle to the new style on that freeride. Is it the same height as the current xm's? Looks a little taller????

Only 1000 for two sleds. I have been happy dealing with Martin in the west end.

Yep I agree. I think the next sled I buy with be a 163. I have been thinking about converting mine but will wait until I need a track.

how do you guys expect game changers two years in a row??? the more things change the more they stay the same. The new chassis always goes to the main models then the second year the rest of the line up gets the new chassis, nothing more..... Next year???? BNG year after that? BNG, Why change something that works, my friends with xms can go unreal places in the trees, if they do some how get stuck its a little roll or ski pull after some snow stomping and shaking and out....

Its really difficult to conceive that any manufacturer is going to make radical changes every year. Even the automobile industry doesn't work that way and it is still the most progressive of all the motorized segments. The XM flat out works. We caught Polaris in one year and unless they come out with something really big this year the mountain segment will continue to be a dead heat between them and Doo. Sorry Cat and Yamaha. If you haven't rode the new XM then get out and try it. There will be a few around to buy this spring and next fall. Lol.

The XM doesn't really need any major tweaks its already a great sled. The 1000 woulda been cool as well as a small diet but oh well. The XM feels really light on the snow as is. Definitely gonna be snow checking the all black XM with yellow decals!

I was hoping for some more refinement, like a factory lightweight can, nothing big just something different. Maxwell mentioned that the running boards are modified I wonder what's changed on them.

Unless it makes the decibel number it needs to for Transport Canada it won't happen. I'm really interested to see a spec sheet for the 2014 as there was alot of info out there that it was going to lose 15 lbs.

How come Polaris can do a lightweight can? My hps can meets EPA standards.
