did they start it up?
If so , what did it sound like ?

I will get a sound clip but at idle it sounds like a Viper.

I'm wondering about the ski stance, Yamaha Canada is stating adjustable stance between 38.5 - 42.5 on the LE model. Is this a typeo? Maybe Mr Sled can chime in and clarify

Yes, it is adjustable! I think that is one of the near features of this sled.

 

[Joshua]

Yeah but 4" of adjustment?

Yep! Same on the MTX just narrower yet

So out on the trails keep it at 42.5" and when going to the deep stuff adjust to 38.5" for boondocking

Yes it is adjustable but 4" seams extreme, even on the Vipers you could change the spacers on the skis and narrow it up by maybe 1.5 to 2".

Correct,on my procross it was about 2" max.

I am pretty sure the 4" of adjustment is possible with the MTX style ski that is on the BTX and MTX models as I believe the saddle area is much wider and uses wider spacers - the trail sleds use the Tuner ski and there is definitely not that much adjustment with those.

Good point.. never thought of that. We can take a look at that on April 10th.

Kevin,now that makes sense,thanks bro.

The 4" figure came about when the new mountain spindles were introduced. I have not sold a sled with the new spindles so can't say for sure. Google it to find a picture and notice how many spacers they use on the skis, I think the 4" figure is accurate

AC sleds definitely look nicer than the Yamahas

The T-Cat is by far the best in looks of them all. Followed by the red Sidewinder XTX.

I do like the red BXT looks similar to the TCat and like Sidewinder XTX. The orange could have been nice if they had not put the weird grey color panels on it. Black would have set the orange off. So from the BTX Id say the red sled is sweet.
