I got to ride her in snow covered ditches. Maybe 8-12 inches and not digging down to the ground much because the plows threw more in there.
First Power. down low it will bring the skis up with a flick of the throttle. I would say in the 0-15 mph range. I did not need a rise in terrain to get the skis up either, she'll do it on the flat. When I came up to driveways and wanted her jump the throttle response was there. I opened it up once in a ditch and saw 48 mph and she was pulling but I had to shut it down for a driveway. Personally I think it will do 70ish on the speedo but I will have to wait and see. Overall I thought it felt like a 80ish HP sled but down low I can see why there are comparisons to a 700. I would love more power but I'm O.K. with it right now. We need snow to finalize My opinion.
I had jeans on and the backs of My legs were getting wet but I think alot of that is just the current snow conditions. I might invest in those tunnel shields. wait and see.
I only rode the sled about 4 miles so I don't want to paint a good or bad picture. My impressions so far are really good. it feels better than the proto-types last spring.
