studdog said:I had 06 Attak and 05 Mach Z. Rode with 06 1000 Renegade. IMHO, Attak like Jaguar, 1000 Gade more like corvette. Attak smoother power, more comfortable,Gade slightly faster up top cruder power. Price same, MPG same. Neither are really off trail sleds slight advantage here to Gade. I've ordered 07 Attak GT. studdog
Those saying that the Gade is better in the powder haven't ridden one. As Studdog said neither are the best for off trail. Various publications have traded the gade and Attak in places for the better ride in powder. If you do a lot of low mountain or hill riding in fairly deep powder then the switchback or the crossfire are more suited to that. Vice versa they aren't as good trail sleds imo. You can probably switch up the track on either the gade or the attak and do a couple other things that would help out (ski's) though if you do.

i noticed the same thing. also when it gets stuck, the snow packs under the flap and you cant even get to the bumper until you dig out under the flap! they do carve really well though! (at least until the track digs a hole to china!)Turk said:If your gonna ride real deep snow don,t get the Attak. I rode mine in 3-4' powder this weekend & it is a trenchomatic non floating not good in deep powder machine. Cross fire 7 ridiculed me in the deep stuff...but..if snow does not get over 2' deep then the Attak suddenly is a huge improvement.
