Outstanding power for a three cyl 4-stroke, great fuel mileage at 20+ mpg, outstanding ride w/ the 136 rear suspension, very stable at higher speeds w/ no darting, good off trail performance because of the 136" ripsaw track, electric start is handy compared to pulling & reverse helps turn arounds & unloading from the trailer!
First true high performance 3 cyl 4-stroke engine in snowmobiles!
The unique rear exit exhaust compared to normal snowmobiles!
Talk about how the low emissions help the air quality because of it being a 4-stroke!!!
Thats the fast & simple go over, off the top of my head!!

If you need any additional information I would contact Pimpedrsrage, he rode one all last winter. He is a very polite friendly young man with a lot of knowledge for a high school sledder, good rider also.

Yeah 20 is stretching it a bit, I was around 16-18 for the 2700 miles I did this year. It went up at around 1,000 miles from 14-16.

I get mid 18ish most of the time.. The best I've ever managed was 19.2. I'm running dooly bars and I have heard that they may cut down on top end and gas mileage a bit.. So if someone had the stock carbides on and good conditions I bet they could see 20 mpg.

^^^ Agreed^^^ Its certainly possible depending on riding conditions and style.

'This sled with its up to 20mpg' it does say "up to" but if you think i should change it it. i can put 18 mpg

I think 16 to 18 is very realistic. My wife and I both have Rages. When we ride together she tends to get slightly better mileage than me because I like to feel that powerband. It is interesting to ride in a group on trips and observe how much gas everyone puts in their sled.
