I find polaris harder to get on egde, but holds a line better though.

And i am a fairly competent side hiller.

shovel hill at keystone, i dont shovel, i just sidehill it. And I can do that on a zx chassis.

But Go ride with johnny some time is all i have to say. The guy will burn a tank of gas side hilling . Lol

yeah he is the energizer bunny for sure. Probably one of the best riders in these parts.

Buddy is still battling intermittent 'low fuel pressure' on his boost. Changed the sock/strainer on the pump to a much larger one off a sea-doo and it seemed to help, but not solve the problem entirely. Only happens below half-tank on steeper, wot climbs.
Next thing we're going to try is redoing the rear fuel pickup to a flexible hose with a 'clunk' on the end of it.
The sway bar broke the other day as well.
Performance wise, it continues to be top amongst our group. Picking up my new t-doo today.

I watched that comment. He’s on a steep , deep slope with 146 Doo and comparing to a 155 Poo. I’m not here to say which one Sidehills better personally as I have not rode a new Poo but he needs to compare track length to track length and if his answer is the same then I will accept that. I probably have a good idea that he’s right but comparing different set up sleds isn’t a fair comparison.
Don't forget he rides his dad's 165 and all kinds of buddies sleds too.

If it’s floatation you’re considering Ken, the 146 x 16 Doo has a slight advantage over the 155 x 15 poo track..
Only when all the track is in the snow and not on a sidehill. But it is also pushing more snow when it make the wider swath.

Couple of my riding partners have switched to Polaris for 2 reasons. The sleds handle really good once you get used to them, and MM dealership in Golden.

Nothing side hilled like the twin railed ascender cat.
Polaris is a very close second but a much funner chassis over all.
Doo is just comfortable lol..

Good rider can put all 3 where they need to be.
I rode a twin railed cat for 2 seasons and didn't think it sidehilled as good as a polaris pro chassis.

Was a good ride, we actually went about 10km past Spirit. Did about 35 km at
farm and all was good so gave it a longer test.
Climbed show off hill by cabin, had to back off half way up.
