2018 Sidewinder STX-DX 146
Great day riding today with some friends. Was running second to a 800 Poo all day with a young guy that could handle that sled really good. Next to that thing my STX-DX 146 looks like a motorhome. I kept up fairly well (had to work at it in the twists just to stay in his snow dust). We turned out onto a big open straight away and had a 5mph rolling start where he looked over and I was lined up left. He hammered it and got the 1 sled lead off. I thought to myself this could be embarrassing for me on my 16k sled that I have never dragged vs anyone. But I hit the go paddle anyway and mashed it to the bars. I caught up and then just breezed by. I was actually a little stunned when I just sailed right by him and could pull right in front of him with ease.

A great day for the Sidewinder, the whole gang was looking at the "motor home" a lot different after that run. He said he could hear that turbo spooling as I went by and he knew he was ruined. I love this machine more and more every day. 1360 miles and it is just getting better and better. Hope everyone else is getting the same thrill on their sleds.
 
That's great! Glad you are enjoying your sled!
 
Yup,its addicting ha,that spooling power lol,always nice to see the titanic run past a 800 pro r or s when they are snappy sleds for sure,i bet it did feel good. Congrates..
