Not a fan of your loudly touted 16 wide track, christ they finally had to mess up the suspension to make the thing more fun to sidehill, cause basically it's still an XP with lipstick and Doo dads. It does work better on the trail, that's probably why you favor it so much, and that's fine, but not everybody wants to mess around the Allen creek cabin everyday
You guys should put the Pro 15 inch track or the Cat 2.6 on an XM, I think it would be a kick a$$ sled, and you wouldnt have to put all the bendyncrap on it.

I think the xm is terrible on the trails you clearly haven't spent much time on one. The alpine is where it works

You guys are making this too complicated. .......what do they do with enclosed trailers or campers? Dry weight or curb weight right. I dont hear anybody complaining about the weight on these. What if maxwell packs more beer in his camper then I pack in mine? Its not fair! What if maxwell put a yamaha in his enclosed trailer and I put a ski doo in mine? Does that make the manufacture wrong?!?!? Who really care what they weigh? Is there a single person on this site that has bought a sled strickly on weight? Highly doubt it!

Exactly. But if you buy a Polaris that's the one and only thing they have going for them is lighter weight so I guess the answer to your last question is yes people do buy strictly for weight

Maybe its service, maybe its reliablity, maybe its price, maybe its the ride. Different strokes for different folks maxwell. Fat bitches need lovin too, its just not my thing though. Why do some people like fat women? Ill never know......nor will I ever let it bother me! Are you a salesman for doo? If not, let them fight their own battle. Chances are arguing about the weights on snow and mud isnt making doo any more sales. Sure its fun to listen to a little camaraderie of the sports but this is just ridiculous!

Looks like the jigs up Lenny? I wasn't going to get in on the thread but I also believe you haven't spent any time on an XM now. They are horrible on the trail but awesome in the alpine. Tsk, tsk, tsk....

Wrong again, I've switched back and forth a lot on the trail, which i hate, from the XM to pro and I don't think either one of them work great on the trail , but the XM is markedly better. IMO exactly opposite when I switch back and forth in deep powder, there the Pro shines. I rode a mutant Cat last year and hands down better than both of these on the trail.
And speaking of busted, if you believe the XM is easier to ride in powder, man it's obvious you been riding under the influence of doolaid, spiked. Of course , we all know Doo could produce a 720 , with a 146, weighing in at 535 dry and you and a few others would wave the flag and yip. I love the etec, but the Pro in the deep snow, for all it's other failings, just shines.

You are right I also do not care about the weight. I have way to many miles to log this season and considering my backpack weighs 30lbs I have no dog in this fight. Just a fat high school dropout with a overweight sled I guess :( looooooool
