Got that right! Can also say that the sled handles 8 feet in the air perfectly

The viper has not been "air" tested but I hit a very large ice clump on a trail going over 60mph and did at leat 8 feet....lol. Actually was a hit that would have destroyed a Nytro front end and didn't even nerf the toe in on the Cat chassis.

Thats cool...I hit a post put a little dent in my a arm and tore up my side belly pan. got that replaced. still waiting to figure out clutch. I like the ride on mine when in riding hard, but for just chill riding its a little stiff.

i "air tested" mine yesterday cruzing across lake wissota and hit where they plowed a trail to put fish cribs out and cleared their trail. glad i didnt case the other side. it suprised me with the glare of the sun. i hit the breaks but realized that wasnt going to work so i pinned it. all or nothing i guess. cleared it and landed nicely. did have a branch surprise me under a drift that ripped off the exhaust side panel. so that is now new. but so far i love it. 1700mi

Think the Viper is pretty tough! I'm sure there are a lot of us that has hit something. I went to my dealer and there were three Smacked up Vipers. One hit a jump and went straight up and landed on the skid bending the rails about 90 deg. Then one hit a tree and on one side the a arms were both bent like they were rapped around a tree. Then mine. Just a minor dent on a arm no worries.

Took my blocks and now I bottom out my fts.
Blocks going back in.
I'm 210 lbs . Ride fairly hard. Don't know why no one else is mentioning the same results.
Yes it helped weight trans a bit... but not worth bottoming out the fts over minor hits.
