Sidewinder or kingcat

[fj40]

After 4 years without a sled looking at getting back into it.
Looking at a sidewinder or king cat so what are the main difference between the two .
I will be mostly riding trails with a little off trail riding.
Not sure if I can can ride the mountains anymore, but would like a sled that I could go with.
Rented a xm last year want something with more power.

What colour do you like? They are basically identical, different clutches. Neither one is a great trail sled with the short cooler, make sure you run scratchers if not in GOOD snow. I would consider an MTX153 or High Country for the riding you are describing...

really color and clutches are the main differences. king uses team clutches and they are very nice, have never rode yamaha clutches so cant compare. king cat skis are better. thats mostly all.

I can only speak for SW as the KC is the same just clutches.
Excellent on trail IMO ... floats like a butterfly & stings like a bee!!!
You will be exceptionally happy with either or!

get the 153 and you'll be very happy with it! Rode one a couple years ago in Blue River and it was unreal!
