Difference between xm and free ride?

[fountaintirexp]

wouldn't be so sure there. Those running boreds were pretty saggy when I was on the demo sled. As well I found they dragged when pulling button hooks, but the extra width sure is nice. the sled is heavier and does require more input to maneuver over the x. The stance is great and stable, but too wide, sway bar disconnect is a necessary IMO. Do any of the pro riders whom ride for skidoo ride the freeride?

I'm 250 and my boards don't flex at all. Time too go on a diet if you made the demo boards sag.

pretty hard when i am already 175... maybe you should try riding a purpose built sled harder!

oh thats what i did wrong! Thanks for informing me. News to all who snow cross, buy a summit it's just as strong as a rs chassis and the boards won't bend after multiple hard hits, oler1234 said so.

wow, not a lot of love for the free rides. I have been snooping around this website looking for info regarding them. I would love to hear from someone that has rode the new 2014. my understanding is that the 2013 are xp chassis and the 2014 are the new xm chassis all the skidoo people are ranting and raving about, so with the KYB shocks, the new xm chassis, t-motion, and the reinforcements I was expecting good things from this machine.

It's the ultimate sled. You just have to understand that it will take a little more effort to throw around. Something some people don't understand when buying it and then get mad at it.

I had the xp chassis freeride in 2012, put narrow front end on and loved it. Had the summit xmx last year, put the wide front end on and loved it. So this year ordered xm freeride... Just makes sense to me. I'm 210lbs before gear so tougher chassis is great and I have no problem throwing around the wider stance.
