Viper or keep Nytro?

[Groomer08]

I rode mine last week, it spanks the viper. Cannot get the tail of this viper to settle down. Nytro 70mph through stutters dont even feel them, i see stutters on the viper i stand up, cuz its going to hurt!
Think i may drive back to RI, put the new backcountry 1.75 on the nytro, and bring it north so im happy.
My nytro only bottoms once or twice a season and really hurts my back. This viper hurts every day its not perfectly groomed.
Think your viper is good, step onto a 15 freeride 154" with 2.5" paddles. Outcorners and suspension blows ours away out of the box.
If i could walk into a skidoo dealer and trade right now, itd be gone. but something tells me by powersurge time ill have more money sunk into this then ill get trade in. Not a keyboard warrior, diehard yammi guy, but this sled might break me.

Hard to compare a 154 skid to a shorter track sled. I'll say my 174 3" rides better than my Viper, and I can whip it sideways on the trail around the corners. And fly up to the next corner faster than my Viper... apples to bananas imo

I say Viper.
Everything I have done to my Nytro is to make it more like a Viper - even before the Viper was introduced. Split Rails for handling, Trail tank for range, block off plate to avoid icing....
My seat just ripped in the cold weather and I am likely going to put a WRP seat on it - raising the height by 2" - to make it feel more like the Viper. lol
Sure the Viper has had some teething, but nothing like the Nytro.

ps i still love my Nytro.

Sled behaves alot like the srx700, wants throttle and track spin to steer

Best handling sled I have ever owned on smooth trails. If XTX handles that well it should be untouchable!

Ya my SRX's were fast on the trail. Smooth trail, not whooped out!

A longer skid will always ride smoother. It spands over them better. Just like a crew cab+ long box will ride better than a regular cab short box. Or a 35' Baja vs a 21' ProV... (that was my point in regards to length)
