Coming off an '05 rev x, I immediately fell in love with the power for sure, but I was chasing the suspension all winter long, and couldn't get the thing to stop darting and bucking and had little confidence keep my speed through corners. I grew really frustrated with it and quite honestly was ready to sell it. This summer I made some changes - revalve on all four shocks, upper ball joint mod, ulmer coupling blocks, and pilot skis (all trail riding for me), I'm hoping that it will be a different story this year with the changes. So to answer the question, I have to agree with the love/hate thing, I don't think it is a sled you just buy, get on and ride all season long. It takes some tweaking and constant attention. But thats a lot of fun in itself. When it works out anyways.
Looking forward to the new season. Enjoy!
