SLEDHEAD 24-7 | EPISODE 11 "SNOW SHOOT 2017"

See what we vote best in class for 2017!

[@yveskc1]

Thats whats is all about. Thanks for the honest review!

[@tannertarsi8305]

Can't wait until next year when cat comes out with the 800 ctec! That sled is gonna haul serious ass!

[@AllajchaSibir]

Lessee...four "classes" (even an invented one..."rough trail"?) just to make sure each of the four vendors/sponsors will "win" a class of their own. Yeah, really unbiased and believable.

[@Joeys990]

Polar Wolf Polar Wolf "invented"? I don't know about you but I've been ridding for 20 years and there's always rough trails to be ridden. Our group seeks out beat up trails to rip through. No different than guys looking for powder, groomed trails, mountains, etc etc. I'm not saying they're unbiased but, there is certainly a class for rough trails.

[@fire_for_effect]

Just got back from 5' of powder with no base with people getting buried left and right...I rode both my Axys 174LE and my dad's 850 etec 3". Simply put, both are amazing sleds, but must be ridden very differently. If you want to pin it everywhere you go and wheelie everywhere, the new Ski Doo is your sled as you can manhandle it and rely on track speed to get you places. If you want to stay planted and be able to tractor through anything, be it hills, steep trees or powder with ease and never worry about getting buried, the 174LE is the way to go. Both sleds rock in deep powder with only a 1lb. difference weight wise. However, we both agreed that the 174" clearly climbs like no other with less throttle input and just floats on top of the powder where others sink all the way to the dirt. I would buy either one, just depends on your riding style.

I like the Sidewinder XTX SledHead 24-7 Groomed Trail Pick at the 12:53 mark

[@70torinogt70]

there all nice sleds , they all go to the rocks and get into places you probably shouldn't be in lol ,pretty much boils down to which one you like the looks of the best ,and who has best warranty service etc. they have sure come along ways from the sleds in the 90s lol I remember when every freaked out cause they had 136 2 inch lol , thanks arctic cat Yamaha ski doo and polaris my hats go off to all of you guys .you sure make some nice sleds ...

[@addimx]

would be awesome to have the Lynx lineup included for once in these tests.. maybe next time

[@440CRF250x]

same as ski doo I thought? maybe subtle differences but nothing big

[@joshuaborowy2078]

wouldnt the renegade backcountry be ski doo's crossover

[@rosskeene1913]

I think it will be couple years until Polaris catches back up with the new 850. they have been back and fourth for years now

[@joshuapate2434]

Im surprised that they haven't done the mountain section with the Ski Doo Freeride 154

[@tommythepooh]

+Bc_coalroller Really? All new summit for 2017 and carry over model since 2014 for the freeride.

[@joshuapate2434]

Ya they haven't even consider it being in the mountain line up and I went from a summit to a freeride and I think the freeride is a hell of a lot better

[@WestbrookOverrated]

artic cat should have of one all of those except mountain win is ski doo

[@darwynelias3336]

sidewinder looks almost like the apex

[@gadgetmantwincities]

A whole episode without carly?

[@bendutfield2524]

Nobody can even come close to skidoo

[@CalgaryDynastar]

Agreed, it truly is the ugliest sled on the market this year

[@bendutfield2524]

in your opinion i guess but its the best performace hands down on the market

[@CalgaryDynastar]

Ben Dutfield Ben Dutfield wouldn't that also be an opinion as well??

[@bendutfield2524]

ya but im right

[@CalgaryDynastar]

Ben Dutfield last years summit was nice looking and this years is the ugly brother who was kept in the basement because the parents were ashamed to bring him out in public. True story!

[@KliqDon1983]

Is there a Sled out there these guys don't like?

[@marknewman8609]

+David Jaques This is 2017! They are all good in there own ways.

[@jasonkeefe2513]

D&D racing has dyno sheets showing the sidewinder/thundercat pulling over 200 hp stock. on instagram

[@marknewman8609]

+xXzeTaco49Xx Theres dyno sheets showing the stock 850 as 170.4 hp. You have to remember dry weight of the summit compared to the sidewinder is at least 90-100 pounds

[@55weedlover]

+Mark Newman (RevRacer) The 850 will also lose power at altitude where the turbo will not

[@marknewman8609]

It will have more power then the 800 etec which was already a lot in the mountains. Sure it won't be the chute monster the yammies will be but chute days are a thing of the past.

[@fitzgeraldbrady]

Gotta stop using Yamaha motors in the cats for the comparisons it's the same thing as the Yamaha at that point

[@ckddckdd]

Brady Fitzgerald clutching suspension and fuel mapping just to name a few differences in the yamacats

[@jonsouth2592]

Trail riders from the Michigan talking back-country mountain riding? Not convinced.

[@DirtyBeefCurtains]

Jon South yeah. Because guys from Michigan don't travel west. Don't be stupid.

[@hellhound2275]

New summit maybe good but not as pro rmk - balanced better in all the ways

[@Dagus85]

+Hellhound 22 lol didnt u see the episode, summit is BEST IN CLASS

[@marknewman8609]

+Hellhound 22 The new summit engine is now center of the chassis which means better balanced. No other brand has the engine fully centered.

[@ckddckdd]

Hellhound 22 which is important when you're being towed out!

[@lukechoudek2901]

4 categories + 4 different manufacturer winners = zero credibility.

[@Joeys990]

Luke Choudek they should have 20 randomly picked riders from all over to do these evaluations.

[@coltontrapp5882]

I'm white

[@KliqDon1983]

What's the difference between a Yamaha and an article cat anymore? Gay

[@pitterpatter917]

Doesn't use a renegade backcountry for crossover also doesn't review it like the others. You guys fucked skidoo out of the cross over segment.

[@nighttracker1472]

This is all baised. Really poor reporting. Even tho i like the "winner".

[@ryanhewes5049]

This show is so bias it's insane. They don't say anything bad about any of the sleds. Snowtrax is way better.
