I've got an RTX an it's 1000x better than my viper, I would rate :
Motor - 9.5
ride - 8.5
ease of working on it - 4
I'm under 200# full gear as well and after a little tweaking each time the bottoming is almost gone. I'm at the 2nd clip in the rear with the adjuster 1/2 way up, going to pull the limiter up 1 hole. Transfer is on notch toward min. floats are at 70#'s. I pound this sled very hard and the faster i go the better it seems to get. It seems a little unpredictable in large bumps through the corners, going to play with the air press. and maybe add a bigger swaybar.

Disappointed with performance of rear suspension. The clunking sound should not be a normal sound with any suspension. I have every thing cranked up but on clip #01 and still bottoms out way too easy. RX1 never did this? I weigh 275 lbs with full gear- husky build.

Expert
Power 9.5
Handling 9.75
Ride 10
Ergs 10
F & F 8.0 would be a 10 but I took off for the warmers
I am 232 pounds. I have 530 miles. The sled is light years ahead of my 03 RX-1. I rode through some moderate crap with my Apex ER, that would have hurt me last year. I wasnt even sore. Like McDonalds I'M LOVING IT. NOW LETS ALL DO A SNOW DANCE TO TRY AND SALVAGE THE SEASON

Hurray for you. Why are you even posting bitching about a sled you don't even own!? Come to think of it you bitched back when they were first released. "oh they jumped on the rider forward bandwagon." "Oh that windshield is too low for me." ect ect. What's your deal anyway? Maybe if you actually owned one, realizing that spending a minute taking of the panels (which allows MUCH easier access to the sides than the RX ever did) isn't all that big of a deal.
