I will be converting from a 03 firecat to the apex this next season. The overall I loved the firecat with one exception. The narrow track was just no fun in deep snow. 128 inch by 13.5 just didn't cut it in 4 feet of snow. I mainly run ditches and trails. In a good winter the ditches can fill up with 5 feet of snow. It's fun to run in when it is fresh but I was wondering just how much snow the RX series can play in before you have gone in over you head. Digging out the firecat was no fun and I can only imagine what it will be like with a slightly heavier four stroke.

IMO, my 05 RX-1 is marginally worse in deep snow than a friends 03 F7.
If you want to have a little more deep snow capability, you probably should consider the Attak. I'm sure with the 136" track it will be superior in deeper snow (I've never tried a Warrior, nor ridden with one - so this based on what I've read only).

My 136" will go through anything a flatlander should face.

Rider ability makes a big diff. My buds are amazed at where my RX shorty will go. Having good deep snow riding techniques makes a huge diff!

My F7 Sno Pro went through way more snow than my Rxwarrior dreamed of. But then again my Rev800 with the stock 1" track trumped the Fcat easily too!

Never got stuck yet, with either one of my RX-1's. Just keep the momentum going.

I run a 121" and haven't gotten stuck. Just like open water, keep it pinned.

Nah, I'd just leave it there and drive it out once the snow melted. :shock:
