Upgrade to 13 from 11? Help!!!!!!!!

[assaultn]

K here is the skinny guys, I got a 2013 162 m8ltd sittn ready for pick up. I ride a 2011 m8ltd and absolutely love it. I rented a proclimb last year for a day and liked it exept for the downhill handling. I snowcheck pretty much every year but dont know if I wanna retire the old m chassis. Anybody else prefer the m over the proclimb or does a guy just need a little more seat time on the proclimb to get used to it? Gotta decide soon my dealers gettn a little cranky. Any info would be great guys.

I'm loving my pro climb! Much better then my old m8, have not once thought about the old chassis since I've got my pro climb. Just my opinion.

Same here. I will never go back. I came off an 08 m1000, only thing I miss is the torque. I love the handling of the proclimb. Suspension is amazing for an out of the crate stock setup. I have no problems handling mine going downhill. I actually think mine handles better then my m chassis but that's my preference. I've heard other guys say opposite. One thing I've noticed is that when I'm going down hill and decide to turn and go back up when it's steep, feels like the sled gets hung up a bit more. I installed the 38" wide a arms and will see if that makes a difference. Still, it's something I can manage to live with. Just requires u to be a little more cautious on where u put your weight and how much u apply. I've thought about buying an m chassis only to do a 1200 turbo but now I'm thinking about putting a 1200 into a proclimb chassis. I can't see myself ever riding the old m again. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I kept my 2009 M8 snopro as a spare sled when I got my 2012 ProClimb. Tried to ride the old chassis for a day (after 13 rides on the new one) and felt like I was riding a bathtub... Could never go back after that and sold it

Had a 08-M8 and a 10 HCR......bought a 12 Proclimb and traded that one in for a 13. LOVE the new chasis compared to the old M. I would never go back!

Took me 4 days riding the new chassis and that was it I couldn't go back. Does it do everything as good? Probably not, but there are more things that it does better IMO. Get the new one and enjoy!

I have a day on a 12 proclimb and within the first hour or so I liked it way better than my 11 m8, better sidehill control, better downhill carving, easier to transition side to side and better in the trees, also seems to have more snap with the chaincase vs the DD.

What they all said!!!

My old sled was an 08 M8, bought a 2012 ProClimb last winter and haven't regretted it one bit. I love everything about the handling of this sled......boondocking, climbing, trails, deep powder, tight trees, this sled does it all with the least amount of effort. I have over 1000 trouble free miles on it too. My son has my old M8 now, and I rode it last year for a ride and didn't want to EVER get back on it. It rode like a tank!

I'm soooo happy to hear all what you guys are saying. I just sold my 09 M8 and have only rode the PC in some fields and ditches but i must say that i already feel right at home on it. I can't wait to dance through the trees and creeks!!!
