Sled Change

[Cody]

Ok i drive a 08 Phazer MTX.
Now i need to know what sled would be the best for me i like speed hittin drifs powder and also cruising down the creeks in about 6 inches of snow.
I want a short track.
Im thinking of the Nytro but i wanna know what the weight different is because the phazer is abit to top heavy for me because i only weigh around 115 pounds.
I dont know how my dad would like the 1000cc either.
What would the 1000 compare to in power to weight ratio in a 2 stroke a 700?

I am still waiting to see the new XTX with tip up rails. I have been to 2 Yammi rides but both were cancelled due to lack of snow. I am still not sure if I like the way forward position. I would buy this for a play sled and keep the RX's for serious riding. I can't see doing 500 mile days on those new sleds.

How old are you, Kid? 115 lbs. and your Dad doesn't want you on a 1000? I am thinking of trading my Attack for a Phazer. Gain some wieght and stay with what you have!

Cody- Man your only 13. Give the phazer a couple more years. Then upgradewhen your 16 or so. When I was your age I was happy on a 340.

lol i am but im getting new skis and suspension and a 1.5 inch track cuz i dont wanna wreck it when i go trail riding i see the paddles are already bending. And i didnt want a diff one because of the sled i like it but i want a short track cuz i dont go to the mountains and lately weve only been getting a foot of snow. So yeah thats what im doin thanks for the imput!

115 lbs eh, Look around for an old elan

Look around for an old elan

Haha, thinking about that makes me laugh, a buddy of mine has a elan that his youngest daughter uses, she only rides once a year for about 25 minutes at a time. He has kept it in mint condition, lots of guys around here pester him to sell it to them, but he won't do it.

I have put many miles on the Phazers (121 and 144). When I wanted a Yamaha for myself I test rode both the Nytro and The Ape 121's.

I didn't like the Nytro because it handled much like the top heavy, unstable Phazer. It is very quick though and has a sweet motor obviously.

The Ape is much more stable and obviously has a killer motor but isn't quite the jumping, mogul monster a Nytro could be.

As far as I'm concerned every kid should spend at least 3 seasons riding a 12 elan. When I was 13 a 500cc sled was the biggest and fastest on the snow. Spending several years on an Elan really makes you learn to ride.

I'll second this

Well I am 15 and i got the Nytro for the up coming season. But I started on a sno-scoot when i was about 6 or 7 then when i was about 9 or 10 i got a bravo. Next i got a 380 legend two years later. Next it a was rev mxz 550 x for the past two years. It really all depends on expernice and skill

The crazy thing is that a 16 year old can buy/insure/ride/die on one of the world's fastest machines out of the box: A crotch rocket.
I've owned a few and they still get the blood flowing everytime I'm out.
These things are hitting 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds stock.

That's the problem with the laws go from nothing to anything with motor at any size

I would support a graduated liscence program 100%. Until you have at least 2 years with a bike licence you should be restricted in engine size.
