XM on trails?

[handyandy]

I have an xm 146 and I mostly ride in saskatchewan. Its awesome for around here but there aren't any trails where I ride. I mostly just ride in fields and ditches until the coullees blow in with snow and then hillclimbing is all I do. Its trail manners were pretty bad though the one time I was on a trail because it hunts really bad I think some different skis would fix that though.

What is the difference between a Freeride XM and a Freeride XP in handling characteristics?

My XM isn't too bad around here. I have about 1000 miles on the machine between the mtns and Sask. I find that I can't go as fast as I could on a Renegade across fields or rails corners on the trails. You can really feel the tippyness of the swivel in the rear arm sometimes, especially corners. The honest truth is, with a 2.5" track you are likely rarely going to be over 75-80mph. On hardpack, mine vibrates a little, but I'm leaning more toward that being the powder wedges up front.

As was said....it's a compromise. Pick the best machine for what you ride most and live with it. If you can't...stat building That's looking more and more like my plan this summer.

So what makes it not so floppy in the corners or on the trail?
