Viper XTX first ride.

Despite the reverse update being done, I put about 50 miles on Sunday. We got 12 to 16 inches of snow in central MN last Monday. I left the sway bar links out and I'm still on the fence about that. Rear skid needs some adjustment, not quit as good as my Apex was. Power is deceiving, the 1.6" track is sweet off trail. Ran against a 2003 F7, Polaris SKS 700, and a 2014 cat 8000 and beat'em all! Couldn't on the grass. Can't wait to get the clutching dialed in and more miles on to loosen up the motor. More fun to ride off trail being lighter than the apex, miss the pull of the apex from 50 on but this sled makes me smile too.

Do you have a 2014 or a 2015? How does it handle on trail? I just put money down on a 2015, but I'm a little worried about how it will handle on trail.

What do you think of the stock suspension?

My viper is not all stock. I have the Skinz front a-arms with fox evol shocks which is longer travel than stock. Skinz can, and Skinz airframe running boards. The front is awesome, the rear is good but I need to make some adjustments. They had the sway bar links removed, I am going to try it with them back on next ride. Didn't ride the trails as they are not open or groomed yet, but this sled is a blast in the ditches. I will post my impressions on the trail in December. So far I am loving this sled even more than the Apex.

Matt read the huge post by NosPro he loves his on and off trail.
