Had the chance to ride a 2012 pro rmk in blue river and Vale and i must say i was not impressed at all. I understand a guy needs time to figure out the machine especially after riding a different product for a couple years but i just couldnt get the hang of it. I get why its called Flickable now.... as in i want to flick that thing off a cliff every time i ride it.
When i hoped on my summit xp for the first time in 2011 i had a much easier time getting used to the sled. It fit right away and i was sidehilling and boondocking within a hour. The pro was flat out weird and uncomfortable, i was like a beginer rider all over again with it being so unstable. For all the talk about how easy it is to ride through he trees, i was expecting a match made in heaven as thats what i do. Actually i was hopeing for this. So dissapointed.
Lesson of the day, when you find a brand you like stick with it, your a better rider with something your familar with. This totally clears up why all the brand bashing, any other sled then the one you ride normally will feel awkward and heavy and useless.
The funny thing i was dead set on giving the pro rmk a real try vs the summit before i buy in 2014. After this weekend, it would be a waste of time. Me being used to the summit just doesnt make it a fair fight and im having way to much fun tearing it up to start learning how to ride all over again with something that may or may not be alittle bit better.
Cheers

I've had a ZX, ZX-X, Rev, XP, T-Nytro and a PRO. The PRO RMK is by far the easiest sled to ride IMO, but I can see peoples problem, as it is a finesse machine...not one that requires a lot of aggression or brute force. A little foot pressure here...a little foot pressure there...if you get rammy with it - it'll huck ya
