We tested two 2018 LTX LE sleds today on a groomed loose snow track in 1000'. Both sleds had a Stage 3 Precision setup with 3" Sandale trail muffler and only Dalton primary weights and stock Secondary. Pics show the results from each sled with a 250lb rider.

Of note is one sled had QAY-70 weights with tungsten to get to 80grams, the other had DTYA's set at 80 grams. Both had stock primary and secondary springs and stock helix, stock gearing, stock 1.25" track with 192 1.63" studs. All set at trail height ready for the trail and filled with 91 octane pump gas.

That is speedo not GPS. Under hard acceleration I found my speedo read 5-6 mph higher than GPS. Much closer cruising. Still a impressive number.;)!;)!
