You will not be dissapointed with the XTX. This is my first sled like you. Been on Yamaha quads for years. Tweaked the suspension and I am flying. If I can handle this sled in my first year and play in the dance in the flats as good at veterans, the sled has to be good. So much power, reliable, mine corners very well. Since I have bought mine, a buddy bought his own who was set on a doo, and now another riding buddy is likely to switch cause I had to pull him home last weekend after his motor grenaded. Pulled two ski doos home in one week.
