2023 Ski Doo Summit 850 Edge 154 vs 2008 Polaris Dragon 800

[@craigbutler6197]

Been riding my 08 Dragon for 14 years . Looking at buying a 23 Summit Edge. Loved this video.

It’s going to be a fun winter for you!

I’ve been looking into a Polaris Khaos or Summit Freeride but have the opportunity at an Edge right now. Does the Edge seem as playful as either one of those two?

[@BackcountryLife]

What do you define as playful? I feel like the Edge is really playful; it's more playful than my Turbo Summit X Xpert. The freeride has upgraded shocks, which is nice for huge hits, but I don't go big enough for a freeride, haha. Yeah, the Khaos is a fun chassis as well. I would say go with the best price you can get. I know dealers are overstocked, which means you can get a good deal.

@@BackcountryLife You’re right everyone probably has a different definition of “playful” but it seems like you got my point. I’m no expert rider but progressing every year. Currently riding a 2014 800 RMK. Great sled until I got on my aunt’s 2018 Khaos. That was a blast. Sounds like the Edge would definitely be an upgrade for me. There’s not much content out there on the Summit Edge so thank you for your vids, just and average group of dudes doing fun stuff. Keep it up.

@@derekfarnsworth7536 Yeah really you can't go wrong with any of those sleds, so like I said I would just go with the best deal you can find. The Ski-Doos have a bit better track record for reliability vs Polaris and this is the reason we run them in our rental business. The Edge was sooo fun I really love it. For the money its a really great option. Thanks for watching. We are planning to have more snowmobile content on the channel as well.

Need a snow refresh

[@Jessedrives]

Any chance you could point out the area you are riding in. Injured last year skiing so snowmobiling this upcoming year 🤙 in utah

[@BackcountryLife]

Aw man sorry about the injury. Yes this is the Skyline drive complex out of Fairview UT. It gets really busy on the weekends but there is other parking lots up the road. What snowmobile do you have?

[@TrillOGtv]

is this stock ehaust ? on the summit

[@BackcountryLife]

yes

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

Here we have a literal showroom of new sleds......and this old crusty dragon

[@BackcountryLife]

haha sometimes you have to ride the old sled to remind you about how they used to be.

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

@BackcountryLife i wouldnt know, all I have is the dragon 🤣

[@BackcountryLife]

@@yourselfdotcomlol ride what you got! My first snowmobile that I rode was a old 83 yamaha Exciter 340. Road that for years

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

@BackcountryLife i do I love my dragon. Once you rebuild the engine properly they aint too bad for a budget 😝
