We will be in Bozeman with dream this weekend for 3 days of riding and will most likely get a little seat time on his machine.
Stay tuned
Stay tuned
So, here are thoughts after 5-6 rides and a few hundred miles...
First as a flashback...My old sled was a Nytro MTX, with a NW Turbos (now Ulmer Turbos) 10PSI sled, had every conceivable upgrade...Clutching, Shockwave, Timbersled front and back, 174"x2.5" track, etc. etc. etc.
New Sled, is a Skinz'ed out M1100T with EZ Jacker, lightweight battery, and soon to be lightweight Skinz muffler (shaves another 10 lbs.)
Handling- Hard to tell too much, because we have not had the greatest snow years...however, it is VERY predictable in the sidehilling I have done....tracks the sidehill very well...It takes some effort to lift up the skiis, but it also has the 40" front end on it...I have the 38" and have not installed it...The front end is very nice, takes the shock out of the whoops we ride in on the trails...very very noticable improvement, incredibly impressed with this!!! Rear suspension, it needs a TImbersled or Kmod for the riding I do...the rear suspension has got to go, but it is a massive improvement over stock Nytro, or even Stock 2011 M sleds
Power- It is ok, the EZ jacker is getting a few more ponies out of it...but It is nowhere near the 220-240 HP claimed...It is slower off the line than my Nytro, it is not as instant of throttle response as my Nytro was...it needs clutching (which it is getting) needs new weight profiles (more aggressive) similar to the weights and rollers we have (14.5 mm rollers and 8-BU weights) I ran head to head with Sonds (on here) against his MCX 180 kit and we were pretty close to head to head...So hopefully WAY more to come on the power side!!!
Overall- I am not as tired at end of day of riding it, it is about 40-50Lbs heavier than my Nytro was but it is way more predictable...That can all be changed though with the Skinz Concept front end (amazing improvement) I would say it is a great sled for out of the box, and I have to keep reminding myself that I have really only spent 1500 on sled (on top of purchase)...oh yeah, handlebars...got tweaked this weekend....but they are pretty weak, a few people are having issues... from a overall perspective, I am happy with the sled, and memory has faded my issues with last sled, and reality is very present with new sled...
If I can get it to pull harder (bottom end) and handle a little better (not a lot) then I would declare it to be superior to my Nytro...I am not optimistic on the pulling too much harder...but I am VERY optimistic going from a 40" front end to a 38" front end....

Off Trail Mike
Gone Riding!

Great pics btw...I only wish, can't seem to even get a 6" dump this year????
Quick off topic question: Any vibrations from the track you can feel thru your feet while on trails? Thought I might solicit a cat guy over here on TY. Only because I am basically running both an AC suspension and 85 duro PC track on my Nytro, which is the same as the HCR this year. Has a high pitched vibration, but can't pin it down.
Thanks
