any one try riding a proaction sled after getting a phazer?

[terret725]

i jumped on my brothers 700 today, pretty much same sled as i had last year, and wow i cant even ride it. i have no idea how i use to, i only have 70 miles on the phazer and it just feels perfect for my rideing style.
the proaction just i dont even know how to explain it juts totally different

i rode my buddy's 700 srx, to the best of how i can describe it " it was riding a couch with handle bars "
ya i totally agree with you, don't know how to ride the thing now, the phazer is a perfect setup in my opinion plus a 2" riser

i litterly felt like i was retarded or somthing. wrose was it was on the freshly groomed trail not even the whooped out goat path that we had just rode. i dont know how he threw that thing around. i was working pretty hard. i think i scratched his helmet with my ski but thats besides the point. i could rearly keep up with when we use to ride. grant it he hasnt rode in 3 years and hes riding a sled thast about 10 years older. but he was still pretty fast. i dont wanna know what he could do on a phazer. i dont plan on finding out either. i know how he rides and im not letting him on my sled in thoes kinda of trails lol.

my buddy just sits and rides his, turns the bars and lets the sled do all the work, then floors it on straight aways and thinks thats fun, he doesn't want ride mine because he thinks its a girls sled ha, all i say is that he is too lazy to get off his couch, but ya i definetly get that feeling of being retarded when riding that sled, i'm glad i'm not alone lol

yeah I rode a guys 800 (something not sure what it was)
last year. had tons of power, but I couldn't turn it to save my life.
Same with my old XCR600 my wife rides from time to time..

i have to admit im a victim of the 4-strokeitis lol i guess if you want to call it that....i hopped on one of our 04 Vipers and just took it around the yard and yeah like everyone says its like you totally forget how to drive them or how you ever got by without the rider forward and all the features of the phazer...Fletch83 your on the right track with saying its like hopping onto a couch with handlebars, you even forget how to sit on them...definetly something i didnt expect...can we all dub this feeling the 4stroke phazeritis

LOL..my bud is somewhat younger, and still rides my old RX1, and he is BRUTAL. When I say those dooper xp's get toasted, it's him..I can't ride it like he can anymore, but he can leave us when he wants...that thing'll fly pretty good in his hands. Sure, we weld er up every year, but he can make it do the job. Must have a back of titanium..

I know how you guys feel. At the starting of this season I rode my Bravo and I felt like I was sitting on the ground, Riding a sled with no suspension and the thing took forever to engage. I couldnt believe the diference. Once you ride a phazer, everything else is all weird. Its so easy to control the phazer compared to the older sleds. (Even better with stud boy carbides) lol.

I really enjoyed my old 550F, 05 Polaris Supersport. Was a good sled. Always was a bit sore after riding.

My back and kidneys thank me for getting the Phazer. Ride is great!

little fun fact. the phazer wet weighs 15 lbs less then a 550 fan LX wet. lol. and it has no collent and a 2 stoke. i thought they were suspose to be lighter then 4 strokes

I do love riding my Phazer, and my 03 RX1 with a doo skid is pretty good, but for realy ripping up a perfectly groomed trail, this is still NO better sled than a 700 SX.
