For those that are riding the Freeride, how are they holding up? Looking at upgrading from my 600 SDI Summit in the next year or so and this is the sled I am considering. Thanks.

A buddy bent his tunnel extension (stretched to 163) with 36 beer on it. Other than that, he loves it.

if i could do it over, i would of went freeride over summit x. either way sweet machines, but i love the jumping and dropping, so having reinforcement and better shocks is nice. i still havnt upgraded mine.

Any where there is snow
Rode with a group a couple of weeks ago and one of the riders had a Freeride, he loved the sled except for a belt issue, he burnt up two belts in one day and limp't out on a belt with about two or three teeth missing. He had the shim kit put in to help with the problem, I think the machine was heading back to the dealer to have another look at the problem.

Cant speak for white, but my black has 2000km on it and looks like new, except for the tips of the grippers on the tunnel

I snow checked a freeride and curious how the white tunnel looks after one season, don't really care about the plastic that is easily fixed, Ya the black seems to hold up good

What I really want is a freeride chassis and suspension with a 163 and narrow front end. Dont really understand why the freeride gets better running boards etc and the summit x is left out ?

I love mine so much I am getting another one for my wife and son to share. Put 2700 kms on without changing belt. Lays over nicer than the x and the suspension rocks. My tunnel still looks brand new.
