Hey fellas need some opinions, my wife is a lightweight at 110 lbs she is currently on a vector ltx and rides it well and loves it!
So next question you will ask is leave her on it and dont mess with what works.
So i put her on my sidewinder for a day and she rode that thing like it was on rails! I have snowtrackers on stock skis and it tracks amazing. So she wants one but does not need all the power. She will hit 120 km on the tracks or lake and that is enough for her.
I tried her on a viper but it was nothing close to the way a sidewinder handles with the qs3 and mine is a 137
So im thinking if i stuck her on a cat with a 600 2 stroke or even a 800 with the same shock pkg how would that be as compared to a sidewinder anyone try them? I would try and get a black one peel the cat sticker off it and either wrap it or buy yamaha

Fire away with your thoughts thx

If she is riding, not complaining about the ride and is satisfied topping out at about 75 mph, I'd leave it alone. After riding a Viper and could not stand the way it rode coming from an Attak and would never buy one. As you said "she loves it!"

My wife's rode a zr7000(from 2014 to 2018) she like it but she found it heavy!!! Now she has a 2019 zr6000 with qs3 shocks , 129.track and loves it!!! She said she feels way more confident maneuvering the 2 stroke
She has no problem keeping up with me with that little 2 stroke vs her 4 stroke

Get a Viper then set it up like your Sidewinder.
They should handle the same or better plus it's a bit less expensive.
Then have her sister give me a call cuz i need a woman who can ride!

I assume she isn't a speed demon and it would be a waste of money.Why not just get her a winder if she likes it?

It will handle and perform the way you described she wants.
They are nice and handle similar to your winder but you will notice the weight diff.
good luck with your search
