2020 Sidewinder or Tcat?

When going fast in the twisty trails, steering this beast is not easy. Had some good arm pump going yesterday lol but otherwise when hitting the throttle it's so good.

Just cruising at 70mph hit the throttle and boom 90+mph and it doesn't really feel like your going fast. It's so smooth and tame that it kinda feels boring lol

I guess experiences vary. I found my 2 stroke created forearm fatigue faster because it required more braking and attention than the 4 stroke which provides more engine braking. That coupled with bumpy trail can get my arms pumped up.

I never really associated the fatigue with the steering being heavy just how much hand grip I am exerting. If anything I am probably gripping the the handles to hard. I have never experienced shoulder fatigue.

I had that problem until I got snow trackers set up on my sled going through the tight stuff .
 
Agree this is the problem, I will be interested to see how the new ECU mapping does. Maybe a few more MPH top end which will help. I think for an area like mine it would be a nice corner to corner sled still. Snappy too.

You guys just really want the Apex motor again ... a updated Apex motor with bumped up compression ( like I had on my 08 ) would cover all sleds out there 2 or 4 stroke except the winder . I would have to think long and hard if I had a option between a Apex motor or the turbo 998 now if I had to buy the same chassis.
 
Waiting for SRX pics! Didn't see a glimpse of one anywhere in the background of the other pics, hmmmm...

Here are some pics on snow... Same sled that was at Barrie.

Never like Cat design windows on a Winder. Looks like a Cat.

Far better with actual SRX window. But still not even close to the sizzle of the '19 ALL blue SRX IMO....Anytime you have painted tunnel, in particular the YAM blue, it just sizzles.

Not a huge SRX fan for my trails, but that blue would have had me buying one this yr and I would have made my mods to get it how I want. Black, no thanks. Buy the Tcat if i wanted black for 4k less.

I saw a brand new ‘ 19 left over SRX at dealer for 16k :))

I'd pick the 4 holer.
 
Omg that was fricken funny. It’s the wrong color though.

Well I guess I got MrSled confused with ROCKERDAN. I stand corrected. This one just needs a painted tunnel for Dan.
