New sled

[Cuda]

Hello Everyone,
New to the forum and have decided to finally get a sled this year...... About time!
came from dirt bikes and I'm deep into the side by side game running high boost turbo(deep means TOO much money put into it)
Anyway I think I've made my mind up on a Ski doo when it comes to type butmy question is track length 146"-154"?
i live in Sherwood park and plan to ditch bang and ride mostly within a couple hours of home but do plan to ride the mountains a least 3-5 times a year. I also do not want or plan to turbo the sled either and have not been on one in a least 8-9 years?
thanks for reading and your input

154 and scatcher it......................

Scratchers I m guessing are the things that hang off the sides to kick up snow for cooling?

Go with the 154 they are a blast In the ditches

Thanks for the advice, a guy told me that I wouldnt need a 154" because I will be riding mostly around here but I'm glad I posted up on here to get the real deal
being new to the sled game the summit X was only a snow check model so I would be getting the next step down which apparently has steel body shocks? I know from side by sides shocks are important....
what would be some must have things when getting this sled, I mean add ons from the dealer and what dealer do u recommend
ive been to Martin equipment
thanks again

154" IMO is a nice all around length. You won't be sorry for having a longer track but there will be days you'll regret not having enough track. Yes scratchers are the things that hang of the side of your rails and help with cooling a hyfax lubrication. Welcome to the sport..... you'll never regret it.
