175’s aren’t just terrain and condition specific! The riders profile is a huge factor! If you’re a guy that is younger and your crew is capable of bow ties and endless jump overs you’re not gunna have fun on a 175! I feel us older guys that are explorers and like to just blast up and over some tight steep stuff as a way to get to bigger open terrain without spending all day bashing a drainage to get there, then the 175 is the perfect ticket! Matt’s video has really rekindled my dream of lightening up my g5 175! I better be calling carbon sled quick! I think there is gunna be a spike in 175 skid demand!

even just changing that skid out is a huge weight savings. Skidoo skid is pretty heavy. Also a pretty price tag on the carbon sled skid

I had a 174 3” xm. 860bb. Had a ton of fun. As a spare Sled, they are a great idea for deep days. I miss mine.

His 858 videos are far more popular than the DooDoo ones. He better get back on the kitty.

Hard to tell the steepness in video sometimes but you just have to believe me that the stuff in the last video is gnarly.
Oh I believe ya! Stupid steep, far beyond what my abilities ever were! I'm talking more the average weekend shulbs from Camrose and Loyd not guys that could ride a deep freeze out of the toilet bowl! Lol

Just watch the 165's and 175's become the "everybody wants", again. All those 146's worth nothing or being stretched. Funny how some things go full circle.
Really was appreciating my 175 yesterday. Pounded through a few creeks holes and just pulled through and up like nothing. Got to break the trail into a killer zone all day.

I love my 175, people get so wound up about the length but if you put a big wheel kit on it is only 4 inches more on the ground then a 165, I don't notice it any where other than a flip around or whatever but it will kill any other track length sled all day in 2 feet plus of powder. I am getting pretty bored of the majority of videos being made now, its time for some chute climbing adventures again!
