TY 4 Stroke Junkie
When Riding in Michigan in the UP. We were out there for the Clean Snowmobile Challenge @ Michigan Tech. I brought my phazer out there along with our modified school phazer. (mine was the emergency parts/chase sled) We all went riding and every one rented 550F mxz's except one rented a 500ss. At the end of the day I wanted to line them up and see how well the phazer did vs each one. The riders of the 550 and 500ss where about 170 w/o gear and I was 225 w/o gear. Each time vs the 550F I pulled about 20 or so feet from the start and held it the whole way. VS the 500ss I pulled him by a sled length and he kept right on my back bumper till about 50-60. After that it was bye bye. The only other sleds I "dragged" was the twin spar F5 with studds and a longer track. I had traction issues and couldn't get the hole shot, but was able to pull him back in. Then he caught back up on the top end barely.
I'm still continually amazed with the torque of this little motor. I don't think I could ever go back to the on/off power of 2 strokes, I love the linear torquey power delivery.

Yes its amazing.Reality is most riding is at 70 or less mph.The Phazer shines at those speeds.Seems like 2strokes are getting slower and 4strokes faster!
