Hey there sledless one. Rode a Freestyle last year. Only a 300 though and it was a bit of a dog. Rode OK, turned well, couldn't get out of it's own way. Some ingenius types at Kelowna put an 800 in one last year. Uh huh. Will the 550 be a decent sled? I suspect so, the 550 makes about 60 ponies, Freestyle is light. Don't take it in the deep snow.

check out www.dootalk.com, you will probably find some opinions on there. I know martin equip on the south side has sold a fair number of them, maybe give Terry a call and ask him for a reference. Or call one of the other dealers and ask for a referance. From what I have read and heard, people like them. From standing on them in the show room and from my experience riding revs, I think I would like them too. They seam well built, the feel a lot like a rev and they are very light. But personally I don't know anyone that has ridden one.

Hey TylerG, I have not ridden one either but I guess the biggest pearl of wisdom I could offer would be to choose a sled that is best suited for the majority of riding you do. Don't sacrafice enjoyment for the almighty buck. cause you will likely regret buying a machine that doesn't give you what you want. As for financing, you may want to talk with your bank etc as an option to financing through a dealer etc (they are banks too!). Good-luck and hope it all works out for ya!!:cool:
