So how well is the T Motion working?

[High Velocity]

Great sled for newbies and very small ladies. They'll flop over for you by just thinking about it. Not precise at all, but very easy. An XM is like a meat cleaver, cutting through the snow with power and no precision vs a Pro which may (or may not) have a little less power, but cuts through the snow like a surgeon's scalpel.

I'm guessing they're either newbies or very small ladies.

The XM is a homerun, not over the fence, out of the stadium!

Sure is !!! If your idea is flop to the left, flop to the right and repeat about 1000 times in a typical day !! Lol !!!

I like all the comments... pros and cons but!!!! can you tell if the T motion is helping or is it more for the trails and hard packed. I can see it helping with the trails and less snow days but i think that the T motion would be almost a wash in the deep days. I ride Doo and this is not a selling point for my next sled in 2014

Works in all situations. Remember it's helping you get a start in the maneuver. The biggest advantage of the tmotion is off camber situations trying to right the sled with the hill. This is the first sled to have a mechanism to assist in these situations and it does work. Deep snow carving around......maybe it's not the t motion but it certainly is better than previous years so I'm sure it has a bit to do with all the changes.

I finally rode a XM this last weekend and within 2 carves I was sold. I had my camera on and caught my pure reaction to how smooth this sled is. "holy ch!t!"

I have a 2011 146" summit X and a 163 XM made my sled feel like a house.

I will be snow checking one asap as will a lot of the group I ride with.

Sounds like High Velocity has buyers remorse about the Pro.

Makes sense..................its much easier to be more precise when your sled will only go at half the speed through deep powder of the competitors sled.

lmao. do you know who you who are talking to here? Rene is a better rider then ANYONE on this site.

I second that. Bruce and I are good riders. He is just sweet to watch. Also. he's not on here much cause he rides 6 days a week

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

1400 km on mine .. all smiles

takes a while to get used to it .. for those who complain that it flops one way and the other .. sure it does when you come off a tank ... ride all day, not tired one bit and it carves hard and precise with little effort

everyone who's been on one has snowchecked one around here... i warned my friends not to try the XM if they can't afford one.

I bought a 12 Pro this fall and love the way it rips through the trees. I've always ridden Polaris's so I am definately not a Doolaid drinker, had a few sips before but always seemed a little bitter. Haha. Thought about buying a XP ETEC for the power but never liked the out of control feeling I had in the trees on them. Jumped on a 154 and 163 XM this year and thought $HIT my first big sled investment and I bought the wrong one. The XM is a completely new machine in the technical stuff compared to an XP (even the S-36 front suspension XP's which were already a bit of a improvement). I'd buy a XM next and definately the T-motion has lots to do with it. Bring on the Doolaid, I'll have seconds.
HAHA

 

[GYMBRAT]

Im snow checking the 2014! and a case of doolaid for myself as well

 

[MoThEr TrUcKeR]

I came off an 09 xp to a turbo nytro, then wanted to get back on a 2 smoker. Rode a few buddies pro's and 1 xm and thats all it took, sold the nytro on the way home and bought the first XMX I could find.
