So I just went on the power tour with Jamie yesterday and had a great day at coqsnow playground!
First off ill say im riding a 2014 xm 163 and have been riding mountians for about 4 years! So when I first got on the 162 3 inch sidewinder I was trying to get use to it because the steering is so different than the doo! For about the first 2 hrs I was cursing the machine under my breath and just thinking how much I love my 2 stroke! But after I got use to it as the day progressed I really started to like this thing! The power was smooth and instant didnt notice any turbo lag! I could hold a line just as easy as my doo! And I was surprised how sharp u could do a hook with it! Really had me excited to be riding it!
The snow was setup in most places but there was some deep snow in the trees to really test this thing!
Some of the Cons!
To do a downhill turn is more challenging on setup snow because of the added weight but once on its side u really dont notice the extra weight!
The seat is comfortable but needs to be smaller
Hey thats really about it!
Put a light weight battery, a pipe and exhaust and u drop probably 30-40 pounds and 200 plus hp !
I did rollover the sled once to get unstuck and did it by myself and was surprised that it really wasent that difficult and started up right away!
in stock form its a awesome sled and I could see a sidewinder in the future for me!
