So I sold my stretched Phazer and am in the market for a new sled.. I was intending to go 4 stroke but have a hard time moving away from the yamaha engines as I have a good bit of faith in there quality.
However we do mostly technical backcountry riding (lots of trees and basically always sea level here i Sweden) and my whole group rides Polaris Pro RMK Assaults so it's them I will have to keep up with!
My option are eather brand new 2strokes (as I dont dare buying used)
All 154" tracks
ArcticCat m8000 ltd
Polaris RMK pro
Lynx Boondocker (think SkiDoo freeride but just a bit more suited for flatland riding)
My option to these would be a used 2010 nytro MTX (162) with a turbo 180hp kit.. For the price differencs I could afford skinz airframe runningboards and fron arms (37 or 39") but the question is if I would be able to keep up and ride the same lines or if I would have to find more straight lines as it's less easy to manouver in tight spots?
Any thoughts are welcome!

I think this is a pretty hard question to answer I have a 2008 nytro 162 turbo with with a bit of work done to it and I really like it I feel like I can do everything my friends can on there pro rmks and skidoos. But I also have a buddy with a 2011 nytro 162 turbo that is mostly stock except for the turbo and a front end and I dont think I could do everything on his sled although ive only rode his a little bit I can feel a huge difference between the two.
I hate to say it if you wabt a really good stock mtn sled that u dont gave to put a bunch of work into I think id go with a 2013 skidoo etec 800. Thats just my opinion. I would stay away from the pro tho
