Anyone make a side by side comparison on the new sleds in the hills yet?

I heard that there was 3 new pro's being towed out of boulder and 1 out of frisby last weekend. i was'nt there but had some buddies riding and thats what they told me. any truth to that? not bashing or stiring a pot just asking. I don't give a rats azz what you are riding as long as it works and yer havin fun!

But that doesn't sound like fun?

I heard the break in on the new belt drive is quite picky and if you don't follow it there is potentially for issues but no reports of breakdowns on any of the 13's that I've heard of yet

That's why the post was about side by side same rider comparison, and in no way will a stock M chassis high mark an etec, I can out pull my 62 with my buddies 54 free ride every single time and my 53 won't mark my 62, definitely a rider issue in this case, sometimes the nuts aren't there regardless of machine being ridden, in my case I definitely try harder with my cat than with his doo as well

Looooool. Ya I got a stock ish XM too

Will be interesting for sure, sorta HP vs efficiency in a way.

Bit off topic, but that would also be a very interesting head to head same rider. Both n/a, still 800's, stock clutches, then whatever you want, head, pipe, reeds, twins, whatever track and length you choose. See which one responds best to add ons without boost and big bore.
Then of course next step, with boost. It's cool that we're gettin to a point where they are close enough that we even wonder about these comparisons this year. So far !

I know of at least 1 2013 Pro that got a helicopter ride out of boulder this weekend due to drive shaft breakage...

As far as the comparison goes who gives a ch!t if your stock Xm will get 3 sled lengths higher up a hill than a stock Pro?

Unless your sled will catch 20feet of air off the top of a hill thats twice as steep 4times longer and untracked I couldnt care less...lol

Ended up renting a 2013 pro 155 in revy on the weekend when my motor let go on my 09 154 XP. I like the feel of the Pro find it very similar to my Xp did not like the handlebars and the the position of them when turning power wise my xp pulls way better but again on a rental if I had time to set it up the way I like it it would of went better like the way the pro pulls itself out of the snow. Tossing around the idea of buying one but still leary of the motor reliability. Would like to try a XM for a day to see what it is like. Like the running boards on the pro only complaint with them is to me they are to narrow. Overall a very smooth riding sled that handles, climbs and go thru the trees very well.

Really? Where?

Give your head a shake.
A little history here maybe Cuso will enlighten you, I was just copying, what he accused me of in another thread. He turned it personnel, calling me names, lots of snow here under the bridge.
