I think you need to get out and ride more if you can't tell a difference between a 2.5 x 16 vs any 15 wide or the powerclaw, series 5 etc. Camo extreme dominates hence why everyone buys them aftermarket.

That would be good to get out for a ride, but there's a few locals here with there 15" wide tracks that've been tryin to get you come and go for a ride with them for quite awhile but no show yet from the maxwell.

Who gives a $hit what hp these sleds put out! Or what size tracks they have . I've ridden all the new sleds and Those acclaimed numbers mean ch!t. Put a good rider on any of these sleds and they'll go anywhere. Let's get back on the topic...

Actually from what i have seen of the pro's coming thru mcbride the past two seasons they have actually been pretty good. To the point that we are looking at possibly getting a couple for rentals next year. The biggest issue's ive seen with them is primary clutch spring's, some voltage regulator issue's, tps sensor's goin wonky. So all in all pretty good. Every brand has issue's not matter what. Had a guy this weekend with a 2011 cat he just bought make it 15km up the trail and d/d lock-up, also had a guy with a 2012 etec thatit would fire up but not come out of warm-up mode, another etec that'd fire and and even once it was warm would die when u hit the throttle sometimes. had a couple poo's brek primary springs. So yes they all have there problems from time to time.

Our group has 5 pros , the only problems they've had is broken primary springs and a few tps problems. Starting to think my sled was built on Friday with a batch of the old 11' motor mounts. Our local brp dealer can't figure out the electrical problems with the etec that rides with us , intermittently wont go above 7200, . They all have there problems . Mine pulls 8300 all day at 7000 feet and has never left me stranded . Junk? No , worn out parts yes, nothing warranty won't Cover

The topic being only his pro seems to be falling apart?

talked to my buddy Rudy in Swan Hills last night, hadn't spoke with him in a while and called to get a weather report as I was heading into Virginia Hills with a 9 axle to grab an excavator. he told me a horror story about his Pro RMK, it has spent more time in the shop in the last 2 seasons than it has on the snow. he is a Polaris diehard that has finally had enough. but he does say it's very flickable....when it runs. he snowchecked a '13 Doo
