I'm not bashing the 19 srx at all. Just simply showing the differences.

Problem is all the shocks except the rear are 1/2" shaft and no rebound and no kashima coat! Monotube on center shock. A HUGE step down in overall quality. Yes they gave you electronic adjust to make up for all the money they saved. Winner- 17/18 LE.
THIS!
But they charged everybody more money for the electronic adjustments lol...and they saved money on cheapening the shocks, they win all the way around!
When I heard that they were coming out with electronic adjustments..I assumed they were the QS3R shocks like in the 17 and 18 LE’s but with electronic adjustments..that’s what they should have been.

You are Bashing the OP's brand new sled. I can bash a bit on the 17/18 shocks too if you would like. Right?I'm not bashing the 19 srx at all. Just simply showing the differences.
You obviously dont have any comprehension of how a properly engineered ZPS system can work. Nor have you even ridden a SRX. Let the OP be happy with his brand new sled and if you dont agree keep it to yourself or write your own review. You guys need to think what you are doing here and wonder why folks dont post!I'd have to agree. The SRX has the same amount of total travel as the 17's and 18's, and I can use every inch of travel perfectly, all day long on my 17. I know the SRX rides lower due to lighter springing on initial travel and then gets stiffer towards the bottom. IMO my 17 LE rides as good or better than my R-Motion did and thats the std of excellence in the snowmobile world. I see no way for the SRX to ride any better than a std. sprung LE suspension. After all its lowered for a lake racer with softer ride in springs is all, which takes up half the travel just riding at a normal pace. Take away half the travel at normal speed and you loose that extra suspension for a bigger bump. Does't add up that it could ride better with half the travel already used up for that extreme amount of sit in. Not buying it myself, it'd be like going back to 6" of travel to me when hitting a bump.
I'm not even half tempted to buy a SRX, but they are pretty.

I agree 100%. Please back off and give it a rest or go start your own thread.
