First thing I would have done is compared back to back the transfer....
Praying the 129 actually transfers like some have said, and like my 129 did in 12......otherwise im gonna be making some changes

I ran into a group of 6 or 7 winders in Cochrane last year and the guys on the 129s said their skis don't touch the ground when they're on it lol.First thing I would have done is compared back to back the transfer....

My 129 cat was great for transfer....and now coming off DOOS since 14, I really need that playful front end feel as my DOO XS were just a blast and would hook and lift hard.....Makes a make or break fun sled for me.I ran into a group of 6 or 7 winders in Cochrane last year and the guys on the 129s said their skis don't touch the ground when they're on it lol.

I can’t compare them- yet- she won’t get off the 18 RTX 50th so I can have a chance!!I'm sure its a bit early to tell but how would you compare the ride and handling between the two sleds?
We’ve only put about 2 hours and 60kms on them so far. We may go for an hour Wednesday morning on them again.
The small lakes up here have tightened up. Just waiting for the bigger lakes, another 1
I’m glad she’s all in this year. Last year she tried the 17 Renegade Adrenaline 850 I had and it scared the hell out of her.
Noisy, 2 stroke smell and the vibration. The throttle was a lot more touchy than the Sidewinder.
I will get my chances on the 18 RTX 50th. After all, back in April I ordered it for myself.
Funny how things work out.

Please tell your wife she's AWSOME! Then give her a big TY hug from me.
She needs to know how envious me & others are.
P.S. If it makes her feel good & you happen to get "lucky" after that, you owe me an invitation to your house so i can enjoy some snow also. I'll take your sled...you big tease. Great pics. keep 'em coming
