Wish they would have went with a 12.5 inch track. Then you could slap a 120 2" on after a 30hp mod is done.

5k is out of touch for that considering what other motorsport vehicles you can get for that kind of money. Seems contrary to the claim of wanting to start future sledders out early.

Not to far out. You see the price some guys are asking for used 120's? I seen a used 2003 mxz 120 for $2300! That thing is 14 years old.

I would think the value is more related to rarity considering there are hardly any on the market.

I'm about 5 years away from needing one of these so there should be a good supply on the used market by then

I'm sure the used market will be similar to the 120's. $5200ish new OTD, going to be $4200-$4600 used. The used 120's go for 2100-3200 depending on year and what big boy add ons have been installed. The aftermarket parts for the 120's carry a steep price to bolt them on. Clutch/chain/gears/intake runs $450, going from 5mph to 9-14 depending on gear ratio. I'm going to be selling my polaris 120 mod and cat 206 mod soon to pick up two of these when they're available. Just hoping that we can get a lot more than 9.5hp out of the stock motors. Looks like it has a electronic governor limiting rpm to 5600 (I think thats what the video said). Mods might be easier to do on the stock 200 (192cc). 120's need an engine swap to the 196cc-206cc. Might get away with doing a piston/jug swap with exhaust, and clutch upgrades (springs/weights/ramps). If we can push it to 30hp might also need to find a fibre core belt to replace the stock rubber one its going to come with.

Still doesn't look like it holds a candle to the original snosport. Would have liked to see the sport fame with upgraded skis, shocks, opened up boards, hand warmers,small wide screen and a 4s engine with electronic governor (e.g different keys to control power output or rpm) - that would be a starter sled!

My 25 year old sports would run circles around the new versions. At sealevel they run 55 kph on the trails and with a 121" x 12.5" x 1.33" track are definitely better off trail!

^^^^^
Those originals are still awesome. They did say the new ones will do 30+ MPH

Pretty cool but I agree when comparing them to the snoscoot or snosports. Arctic cats Facebook has an adult burning around on one and it seems to go pretty good.

Cat...but same as the Yami.

Sorry, I thought the link would have taken it directly to the video. Apparently not.
