Looks pretty scarce.. Whats up with that? no LE model.. no 153 Sidewinder.. Just one Sidewinder MTX. and its a 162. I find this very strange.
One would think a 153 would out sell a 162.. ?

There are still 153 MTXs they are just not called a mtx. Look at the cross over line and it is now called a BTX

But this BTX model is 57mm/2.25" track only. That's too low track to 153" turbo sled. Power going to nothing. Minimium should be 66mm/2.5" and I hope 3" track.

Seems like a lot of 4 stroke mtn riders go with a longer track, 162 or longer. Turbo rocket ship. Probably still weighs too much to be a nimble boony machine. I wouldn't want a 150 track 4 stroke mountain machine

Where is the 174x3 track already? Drop & Roll chaincase like the cat got, will have to get rid of that goofy cat oil tank thou for that to work.

I like a 153 because it works better in the UP. I found that a 162 was just getting to big for the tight trees up there. I think all mountain sleds should have at least a 2.5" paddle. No more 2.25" Its the mountains, go big or go home right?
