The escape is a snow check model with a few extras... I don't know all the differences...

I'm not sure that the Vert Edge has anything special about it. I know the V. Escape has lightweight trailing arms and chaincase gears, lightweight seat, in addition to the stuff Scotford said. I read that the 03 V. Escape is 596# w gas ready to ride. I think the '04 gained a few #s. not sure why.

Im not totally clear on the differences either, I have an 04 Escape, but it wasn't a sno-check cause I switched over to the ryde-fx shocks from some crappy ones, and I'm pretty sure that the sled came with the crappy shocks from the dealer?

BTW, PERC doesn't add any weight, its only a little module box and wires. Maybe add a few gram's, lol, even though it might reduce weight because of the notches out of the helix??

My 02 Vertical edge is a snow check with Ryde FX shocks all around.
Love the black with yellow and red accents. Silver is great too.

My neighbour has the exact same sled in the same colors. It is a GREAT sled. I had an 02 snowcheck in red. THE best sled that year, climbed like a freak'n billy goat! Good solid sleds!

In '03, the escape differed from the vert. edge with a lightweight steering post, chrome moly trailing arms, PERC, DET (Detonation Elimination Technology), lightweight seat, series IV 159" track, good shocks, and TEAM secondary. There was other stuff, but I forget some of it now.
