60 Kms on the New SRX WOW!!!!!

[WinterWolf]

It's Knight and Day from the other 2 years

Ya, I’m not thinking night and day???

I realize you’re a big guy...and I don’t doubt for you it’s a big difference, but for most of us 200 pound guys...I’m not thinking we’d see or feel that much of a difference from our 17’s and 18’s....but that’s just my thinking on that. My 18 rides fabulous imo, and not saying that the 19 can’t be better, but with all due respect, night and day just doesn’t seem possible?

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.

He said KNIGHT and day not NIGHT and Day.
That means he's SERIOUS!!!!

But if you take the exchange rate into consideration, maybe it's just better........like Dusk to Night

 

[MUSKOKA SIDEWINDER LTX LE]

It's not a debate those our my opinions,ive had every year of the Winder and prob one of the fastest I've seen At 141 in 1320 ft.Im not one to adjust my suspension once set in early winter.The fact I can change of the fly without jerking around in the cold right there is night and day for me call it what ya want it but to me This Sled I'd a Home run Now let's see if the Electronics makes it through the season with 0 issues LOL

 

[stevewithOCD]

Are all 4 shocks adjustable electronically or just 3?

I bought one because i like the idea of controlling all shocks from my handlebars! when my apex ltx gt was new i used the ohlins shock all the time. the downside was it only controlled the rear shock. the trails can go from flat as glass to rough as heck here in muskoka.
i'll set the springs for my weight and then alls i have to do is change the shocks to the trail conditions. i found i was always stopping to change my front suspension many times on one trip.
this sled should change that problem.

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.

 

[KnappAttack]

I run my 17 LE on #1 all the time for my weight. If I switch any of the shocks to #2 it just rides way to rough even in the bad trails. IMO 3 clicks is no where near enough, should be more fine adjustment than 3 settings, like 20 or 24 clicks. And even though I loved my 2007 Attack with the ohlins, I don't want a wire in that rear suspension at all. Way to many failures with that with all the ice buildup.

this helps

Fox will do a shock service, rebuild and revalve for $100 bucks.....and for another c note ....they will convert the 3 compression to a 21 click hi lo! I believe compression and rebound..

Where's the fourth shock????

Come on now 1/2 the travel for ride in the sled squats 2" when sitting on it that leaves 12" of travel can't see how that adds up to 6" starting to sound like a girl I know who thinks 6" is a foot

There all kashima coated shocks are set for ease of adjustment remember the ohlin apex once the rebound is set for your weight you only need to find tune the compression no need to adjust the 20 clicker rebound after initially set seems like win win

its called "sit in"...and is desirable with a suspension compared to "sit on" .... my 17 on full soft had zero squat....and therefore is over sprung but Im not 350....about half..
