800 Assault 146" vs 800 Dragon 155"

[E-Zmoke]

Anyone have anything bad to say about them? Anyone have any problems with them yet? How is the 146" track in the deep stuff? Still can't decide if I want the new Dragon or I'm kind of leaning towards the Assault? I think overall the Assault is the better out of the two, more versitile, and comes with a way better package. How are you guys liking the new dragons? Anything good or bad to say? Need to buy one soon before they are all gone~!~! Anyone put a turbo in this yrs Dragon yet??

I don't know alot about either sled, but have seen many posts on this site regarding the assault. It is what I would call a Mountain Snowcross sled... made for very aggressive riding, jumping, etc. The Dragon is a pure Mountain machine. It is designed to climb and boondock in the powder. There has been some speculation about the stiffness of the track on the Assault in the powder. Most guys say that it trenches deep (kinda like the ski-doo challenger lite). If you do a search for "Assault" in the top right corner of the site, you should see multiple threads on this topic. The 2 sleds are for 2 totally different riding styles. Hopefully this helps you out.

I have read all the threads in regards to the "Assault" I was kind of hoping I would get some kind of recent feedback, most of everything that has been written has all been pre season, (alot of speculation) I did however come across one thread as of recent and it was a good review on the Assault. I do believe it is the sled for me as I'm the guy who likes to drop the big cliffs, boondock, and go up through thr trees where noone else would even attempt to bring a sled. I'm the guy on the trail who holds it wide open and won't back down from any race. I'm stuck in a spot right now where i know they are two totally differnet machines, but want to make the right descion, I found myself doing alot of Hill climbing last year as I was limited to dropping the cliffs and going for the big air as my sled (02' RMK 800) It is 7yrs old now and does have after market shocks and the whole nine but just doesn't hold up when your dropping 10ft or more. I've smashed my knee, smashed my chin on the bars, and basically have to go get a massage and or sit in the hot tub everytime I ride the thing, I'm in desperate need of a new sled as I'm about ready to launch this Chassis over a 85fter and call er good. It would be of a great help if somone out their with my riding style could let me know your thoughts on the new Assault, pros and cons. I need an all around sled and I believe this is for me. If not You can't go wrong with the Dragon, I'd also like to hear feedback on the Dragons, I might just have to give up the kid in me and get the steep and deep sled which might be a good idea as well, I'd really like to know if anyone has spent the $$$ on a turbo for the Dragon and how it is performing for them?? Has anyone heard of any bad issues with either sled other than all the speculation on the Assault track? I honestly believe this track will perform great and nobody is going to have to worry about it blowing apart on them, it is one of the best well made tracks I have ever seen.
