I am in a little pickle and need some advice. Both sleds are the same price.

2016 Apex LE brand new...zero km's
or
2018 Sidewinder L-TX 10,000 km's Perfect shape, no scratches

I love the blue colour of the Winder.

What would you buy and why ???

Thanks.
 

Brand new Apex with 0 miles would be my choice. No one else was monkeying around with it so you know exactly what your buying. Very nice long lasting sled is hard to beat.
 
personally, i would be taking the apex as it does not bother the carpel tunnel in my hands and i can ride longer that way.

i do not have enough hours on a sidewinder/srx to see if the engine vibrations bother me.

both chassis ride well when set for the rider and both have their issues that need to be adressed.
 
Apex hands down, Better ride,handling, comfort and quality.
 
sidewinder for me but look it over well with that millage its not the motor it's everything else.
 
Sidewinder, hands down, Better ride,handling, comfort
 
If both 0 miles I would prefer the Winder, but 10,000 km is a lot compared to zero.

I have an Apex and Viper for power speed throttle response the Apex is great; for ride, bumps and rider position the pro Cross chassis of the Viper / winder is the way to go. The winders I’ve ridden have BOTH.

MY 2 cents I say neither yes or no just give strengths good luck

10000km is only 6000 miles. That is only 2 years of riding for me. I would take the Sidewinder personally. I bought a 14 viper with 8000K on it last year for my son. No issues at all.
 
I am leaning towards the Winder, It is a Quebec sled and the trails there are like highways, so 5000 km a year is nothing.
I do like the thoughts of a new sled with "zero" on it though.
Putting the pictures side X side, that Yamaha Blue, gets me every time.
I will be deciding this weekend before they both are gone and need to start looking again. :)

Your question has already been answered.
A used Winder that is advertised for the same price as a BRAND NEW Apex.
There is a reason why that new Apex is a four year old non-current and still nobody wants it.
 
I’d want it if it was in the US... Love my Apex 10125 trouble free miles allows me to spend the $$$ making/ updating it as I see fit... EPS is the selling point... I can add a riser and WRP seat and get close to the rider position of the winder...
