Question for sidewinder owners with the coupled suspension

[Big_Phil]

Why do people want to lift the skis? While your doing this I will be way ahead of you being flat, Ever see real snowmobile drag races. The fast ones don't lift. It's all about traction. If your spinnin your not winin!

I agree, when racing these sleds, the challenge is keeping the front end down if you have enough traction. However, for trail riding, I find it a lot more fun to be able to lift the skis whenever over rollers and such. Makes the sled feel lighter. More fun to ride.

Exactly,and when playing off trail,a sled that won't do this is just boring for me.
