Just a positive before the weekend. New to Alpha this year. Wasn't to impressed with some stuff on the Alpha. Was kinda "meh" about it. Got some seat time and finally winter has really hit. This thing is crazy fun when the snow is good and you get comfortable on it. Came off an Axys. Fun factor is X 10 on this sled.
Alpha is so fun

They get more fun as you ride them ! We rode morrisey yesterday was super deep up top behind the cabin, and it just goes wherever you want and the track doesn't stop! Coming of a 14 proclimb it was a huge change and wouldnt ride anything else after the alpha!

Rode morrisey yesterday as well and all I can say is this sled is a blast to ride, could not be happier with this sled, it can go anywhere I was just smiling the whole day :d:d. Coming off a fully built 2010 m8 and don’t hold a candle to the alpha.

265 before gear. ski shocks at 70psi on clicker 2, FTS at 70psi on clicker 2 and RTS at 150psi on clicker 1-lockout depending on what I'm doing. Works pretty good but will play with it a bit just to see.

SSI pipe mod. Head, reeds and some Clutching. Mines real fun. I have some minor clutching changes to make yet but it’s a fun Sled in the bush. Halfway through my second season On cat and I haven’t put a belt on either sled. I’m also not needing a skid of oil per season. Very cheap fun

Have about 1200 miles on my 19 Alpha.
Just switched belts to have a good spare.
Super easy on oil but will burn the it's fair share of gas at WOT.
Out at Mcbride this weekend.l and loaned out the sled a bit.
Every likes how hard it pulls.
Easy sled to ride hard and in most conditions hangs with the 850s or is dam close.
Definatly a super sting 800.
Enjoy your Alphas, definatly a very fun sled.
