I'm ordering the LTX LE in red/white. Reasonable deal, I think - $15,900 with no accessories but he's throwing in the additional 2-year warranty priced at $258. With studs & tax i'll still be pushing $18k. That's a lot of dough for a 10-week toy.

Don't forget with more hp via a reflash or muffler,comes more problems with belts and chaincases,if you have never had a boosted turbo,than you are in for a treat,have any of your past sleds been 200 hp,if so than you already know what I am saying,it becomes a money pit.
I got 5,000 km from my first belt. Now I change them once a year or every oil change which ever comes first.
Chains, Gears Drive shaft all still original.
Probably will change them out at 6,000 miles just as preventative maitenance.
Of course it is an Apex, not a money pit Turbo Cat.

I put my deposit down on a SW , Still not 100% sure if I want the LTX or the RTX , I ONLY trail ride , never off trails .
I like to runs the corners , and I know the power will be a lot , I have a 14 Viper LTX now ( 319 miles ) its OK , I just want more power , and I heard the newer sleds ride much better .
dealer told me he would hang until the close date for my decision .
I cant wot for next year , but summer first I need to make a #*$&@ ton of money and guys put the cars away here in the snow season .

I think that was my point,cat turbos were all plagued with problems for anyone who boosted above 175 stock hp,and even some that were all stock lost time with stuff broke,now this was 2013 but I followed them in every year,up to 2015 and even in 15 they still had issues. Now a boosted apex stands a much better chance with a turbo or supercharger,on heat and belts,but even some of them have blown stuff up,depends how hard on stuff some are.I got 5,000 km from my first belt. Now I change them once a year or every oil change which ever comes first.

Man there are going to be a lot of blue LTX'LE's in maine next winter,bro where do you ride out of,i have a 4 bedroom in Patten maine.Done deal from Woody's for a Blue LTX LE. Great guy to deal with!
Traded in the 06 Turbo Attak. Hoping it has enough power in stock form!
Really gonna try and leave this one stock, have never been able to do that with my sleds, just with the wife's sled!
After telling the dealer about my stock plan, he remarked about a couple of flashes coming out for much more hp! Will not quote the numbers but they were really up there Damn It !! Ha Ha..
Now time to think about accessories.
Thankfully I had two years away from all that power,and I was almost content with 155 or whatever the 15 ape xtx was,it did 111 gps on crappy snow so in perfect conditions maybe 115 gps,but I would not hold my breath,but I remember the big turdbo cat,running along at 112 to 115 and not even puffing,so it may last me the first season stock lol time will tell. I will stud this one,i had my cat studded just down middle and it was ok.I did OK with him MNM, I would not have done it straight up, it was trade or wait for me.
I learned a long time ago about sled mods, they cost and make the sled hard to sell in most cases! But I always do it again. It is one of my passions!!!
And yes the sled that I am trading is a 2 stage FPP turbo, meaning 5-7 lbs (200-220 hp)on stage 1, flip a switch and run high octane and it is (10-12 lbs)250-275, so I have felt and delt with a bit of power. Stage 1 very manageable, stage 2 is a bit too much for trails, so I am hoping that my new ride offers enough power to keep me satisfied without motor mods.
Good luck with your new ride, hope it is all we need huh?

Ordered a black LTX DX, after going to sneak peak , changed order to blue LTX LE. The shocks well worth the extra cost

You'll have to pay approximately $15 per mile to ride it for the first year, but then after that it is all free! Use my logic!
