Considering buying a 2017 LTX-LE

[XP123]

I got 1700 off of list last year on my sled with the SW jacket and three year warranty.

Yes my 17 Sidewinder LTX-LE came from Woodys in Topsham.

John of Gary's Yamaha is also a great guy to do business with. And what a location for riding. That whole area is a test ground for sleds in Winter and same goes for SideBy Sides remainder of year. Such expansive and fast (if you want)trail systems. Wow Wow Wow...

Oh that's for sure. I've been doing my riding up there for the last 22 years..fabulous area for major sledding. Certainly Sidewinder country no doubt lol.

Yes, John from GARY'S was super nice to deal with when I was interested in an 18 Sidewinder. We talked for about a half hour and he was super informative, and I was very happy with the deal I received. And I've heard from many People that he stands behind his product big time...that made me feel good too.

Ok, is it December yet??? Dam!!

Thanks guys I think it was Fair too. all things considered. I got it from Powersports1 who is a site sponsor. They seem to be a good dealer. I have always worked with a different dealer locally or Pat's up in Greenland Mi. also a site sponsor. I have so far only gotten some parts from PS1 and have been very happy with them on that stuff. I feel good about them being my dealer on this purchase. I also think if I would have held off I would have missed the sled and the only not new SW's I can find are BTX demos and I don't want one of them so I am glad I jumped when I did and didn't let this one pass me by. Now, if there are suddenly 10 of them out there for sale well that would be just my luck, but I don't see that happening.

Any of you guys run Snowtrackers on the tuner skis? Dealer sold me on them says they sell a ton of them on the tuners and no one has complained yet... I love ST on single keel skis and was going to swap out my apex skis for the tuners and he convinced me to give them a try. He said they developed a new more aggressive set at the end of last season for the tuner skis. I am excited to try them but way scared of the tuners in general. I guess if they suck I will just have to get some pilot skis. or some mtx skis and get snowtrackers for them??

I'm going to be using my Doo 5.7R race skis and possibly the 6.9's a try with the aggressive Trackers on them this coming season. Can't beat the pilot with them on!

I've heard the tuners push with them??? Not sure if they just semi-aggressive though? Ya have to have the Aggressive version!

Congratulations!

Thor452 you won't regret your purchase one bit. A fellow Apex owner myself, I could not believe the difference. All around in every category the Sidewinder wins hands down.

If you wind up with too many skis keep me in mind for selling a set to lol. They claim the new extra long aggressive ones were developed for the tuners and that they are supposed to be everything we have come to expect from snowtrackers so I am hopeful I would rather be done and not spend money on skis if possible.

Congratulations!

Thanks Steve I will be coming to see you once I get some miles on the shocks. I may have to pick your brain a little if I cant get the suspension to my likening as I know you have that viper mastered.

thank you I hope it lives up to my apex with the supercharger because that set the bar very high for me. If not maybe I will have to have a re-flash for more HP lol.
