I cant decide which to buy they are the same price so thats out the window. The sled is for my wife who is coming off an 06 vector GT. I'm tniking the Vector but that 150 hp sure is enticing!

the wife mainly. We ride groomed trails that will get beat. she has no problem keeping up with me on the Nytro always right behind me. As far as being more comfortable there pretty much the same sled other than engine right? other than the updates from 2009-2010.

the vector is lighter and with fuel injection is very responsive, easy to start compared to last years( no choke )and will get better milage than apex. pretty much same chassi as apex. only differance is weight and power. Me apex,wife vector. I rode both.

I drive the Apex, the wifey drives the RS Rage GT. The pull on the Apex and the weight along with harder steering is too much for my 105lb sweetheart. However the Rage is a much easier machine for her to handle and a bit smoother. The bottom line is she feels alot more safer driving the Rage. Besides the gas mileage is much better as well on the Rage.

If it's for your wife, if's a no brainer. Get the 2010 Vector GT. It's lighter (3 cyliinder - FX Nytro Motor) with the same chassis as the Apex. I was very intrigued with this sled last spring. It's a runner. In a 1000ft, it was right with the Apex and in the 1/4 mile it was only like 1 sled back. It flys for a 130hp sled. It's sleeper for sure and not alot of people talk about it to much, but I sure believe it is really under rated. In looking at the ski-doo 1200, alot of people compare it to the Nytro when really it should be comapared to the new Vector.

2010 Vector hands down..
Lower COG and Updated Mono 2 with the Vector.
Better handling and ride than a 09 Apex.
Way easier on fuel.
