As a mountain rider the 2 stroke turbos are just nimbler and less effort to ride. I do like my MTX but she requires an exercise regime to ride lol.But they are soooo light lol.

Maybe that's the case, but all I have ever ridden is four strokes in the mountains. An RX1, and Apex and now a Viper.As a mountain rider the 2 stroke turbos are just nimbler and less effort to ride. I do like my MTX but she requires an exercise regime to ride lol.
It could be that I don't know what I'm missing with a two strokes since I have never ridden one one in the mountains, but the heavy four strokes I've owned seem to do fine. Most everyone here ride SkiDoo's (with the odd Artic Cat and Polaris mixed in), but I seem to be able to keep up with them just fine. Now that I have a boosted four stroke (I've only had the Viper for two seasons) I seem to be able to go places that most of the two strokes can't go.
They may be heavy, but that power and torque seems to be quite the equalizer.

And the longevity

That's the primary reason I bought an RX1 as my first sled. The idea of rebuilding every 1500 miles or so didn't appeal to me.And the longevity
And here 15 years and 10,000 miles later, I'm still riding it. I'm pretty sure that sled will outlast me.
