2017 Sidewinder XT-X 141
I have been watching a few forums and i see alot of the 129" 137" models.

I do about 50/50 of trails and off trails, I had a 141 skid in my 2009 AC crossfire and loved it, Best of the both worlds for me.

137" dealer had it sitting in stock back in October. So I grabbed it.
 
I wanted an LE with Q3 shocks and 137" track and it had to be red/white. The dealer had a Spring order XTX LE 137. I would have bought the LTX LE but I'm glad I didn't spend the extra cash for the more expensive shocks because the regular Q3's are all I needed. the track difference didn't matter because I'm putting an ice attack track on it anyway.

Lol. Maybe we should trade
 
LTX LE.

Ive always dreamed about a sled with RR rails, a real goggle bag in front of my handle bars vs a windshield bag, and of course, a sled with the smallest piece of plastic anyone could cut from a plastic soda bottle.

I swore to myself....I would find a sled that could both loosen bolts on its own, while magically welding others to the steel they fasten to. It would have to come with a manual that was printed by others, and wonderfully vague on detail.

The last criteria for my dream sled....that nobody could buy fancy factory luggage or accessories and make mine look plain and non-custom. And also that schematics and part numbers be kept absolutely secret, so I'd could justify putz'n around and baby'n it. Ideally, my dream sled would force me to shop other manufacturer's part catalogues, so I could find a use for all the black Sharpie markers, and black out their logos.

With any true dream sled, comes the brotherhood of tracking serial numbers, and getting that elated feeling of being in a, "certain range of production."



(Sorry...couldn't resist. I love this thing, and got the LE for the shocks. It was worth the risk. Also, it's my first Spring order ever....and it's not so bad to be on the razors edge of finding and fixing problems, and tracking the updates. I got the 137 for better traction and a longer tunnel for luggage.)

Letting your friends ride the fastest production sled of 2017, is the gift that keeps on giving! And you should be able to keep an eye on them from a "not too far behind" distance. Thats if your able to keep up on that skidoo? Be safe, ken!

Spring Surge for the LTX-LE. Why? Because of all the extras like shocks, heated seat and (RR suspension*^*+*^) and the only way to get the full Blue color. Sled really rocks for a stock sled despite the Tuner lll skis and the fact I got ripped off by Yamaha on the RR suspension! Have to admit that the suspension does work well though, it loves chops and small moguls with me on it.

That my friend is a Classic that is forever engrained in my head! Kinda like the hottest woman in town. Don't want the issues but the ride is sure worth it!

I don't know if it's the fastest ,but it's not any faster than we have the g4s going now .Atleast all the part have stayed on it ad no flat rollers .

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Don't take this the wrong way, but you must have a dog if you can't run a G4.
