Looking to find out the general opinion of the new PRO RMK? After a season of riding? Not looking for a bash of the sled from other riders.... just a short answer
Thanks

Try one out if you haven't already. my wife stole my 11 155, now i have a 12 163. I think most people seem to like them. I haven't had anything come through the shop yet that wasn't self inflicted.

Last year my buddies on their stock Pro 155" could easily out climb my 08 Dragon 163" with the full SLP set up. My Dragon is now for sale!!!

In a word "awesome". Everyone who tries mine loves it, no matter what brand they ride.

Hey Mike how's things? Looking forward to a great season of deep snow. I found a 2011 RMK 155" for a great deal last spring, so I'll be riding the new chassis this year, can't wait

Going good! Oh your going to love it! Big difference from the Dragon. All in a good way. Congratulations on the new ride. As soon as we get the first dump we'll have to head out. Hopefully sooner this year than last.

Whats the biggest thing that you notice from the dragon to the PRO RMK? I ride a dragon now and plan to ride it for a few more seasons.. A few guys in our group got new PRO's so I'll have to give one a try..

Well I did ride one for the day out at revy and I agree with everyone... It is a great sled and wanted to hear if there was any problems and seems to be nothing to speak of. Will try the new artic Cat chassis this year and make the decission from there but have always rode Polaris since early 80's (lots of changes since the late 70's TX440) if you know of that one... that was the first poo I had. Im sure this post will answer questions for others as well

Thanks again
Rich

I only got a limited amount of time on the new chassis last year but did notice it gets up on top of the snow and stays there, without trenching. The other thing was that I didn't bash my knees into the cowling (dashboard?) like on my Dragon. My knees slipped off to the side, which was both good and bad, good because I didn't bash my knees, bad because I slipped off to the side.

The biggest thing overall is maneuverability. My Pro 163 is easier to handle and point where I want to than my 09 155. And the Pro side hills like a billy goat.

It's a nice chassis that's for sure. I jumped on mikes and was surprised how comfortable i felt on it right away. I love my t nytro power but man that's a fun sled. Leaning toward getting one as a backup in a couple years as the price drops.

Probably shouldn't even try a turbo one. Sounds like it could be a costly test ride!

I'm going to turbo mine just to toy with your mind. :d
