Maybe fFun Motorsports got their Cnd made products for US costs. Their price was more like the US snow check prices over on Snowest Lol.

I demo'd the timbersled snobike and my decision was made on a 174 Blackie.
Sled's are just a little more fun :)

Please keep this talk to PM's or bite the rag and hold your tongue in.
Sorry, for any inconvenience this may have caused. Dealers are not controlled on to what price they can sell a new sled for and they can sell for under there cost or even under cost if they hope to get the customers to come back for service and accessories. Hopefully so if the experience has been good. I am the same way and go where in treated good and where they can service my purchase as well.
This thread has gone off topic a bit and let's see if we can get it back on.

I drank the Doolaid and I think I liked it!!
Had an XM 154 and 163 out last weekend.
Felt a little tippy but fun.
It was interesting to play with the throttle opening and closing the exhaust valves.
The 163 had forward steering and I liked the feel of it.
I'm thinking off for a little bike ride tomorrow to the dealer in Brooks, A&E to put my money down on a black 174!!
Any reviews on A&E??

What size track was your pro? Are you doing a straight swap and keeping the same length?

My pro is a 163. Like the sled. Put 800 miles on it this year.
I'd like to go 163 with the Doo but for almost no extra money, I can have the long track. I am lucky in that every day this year, I had fresh snow. Some days it was just harder to find!

You dont have to worry about the snow as far as cooling..... We dont even run snowflaps on our 163's...

Are you going T3 or X?

T3 174 not too worried about cooling. Our trail rides are short.
That's a big track for a guy who is barely in control now 😄

The 174's are handling easier than the 163's did last year. You will be fine.. The spindles made a HUGE difference. If you can handle yourself on a 163 you will be fine on that 174! no worries

I've read good things about your dealership...... Too big of a drive for me.

That's Dave. The owner I think.
Actually I was through there last week on my way to the hills.
The SKI Doo rep was just unloading the 174 demo sled.
It was cool. I sat in on the rep's dog and pony show!!
