Ex 700sx owners

Was curious about people that use to have a SX and are now riding something newer. Do they miss anything about the handling of the SX?

I still love the way mine handles, its that low center of gravity. Up to the bottoming point Its like a slot car, no ski lift in the turns. I have not tried any of the super suspension sleds, would like to try a REV.

It would seem you would be trading some of that "on rails" feeling of the SX for big bump adsorption but maybe tipy in the corner feeling. Any thoughts?

my dad has a rev i dont like it but i love my sx compared to it the rev seems very tippy in the corners.

i had the oppurtunity to ride a rev for about half a day last year.great bump sled but i like the oval track feel.no question i like the sx better!plus the ergos on the sx are better.

i love the way my sx can take a beaten on the rough trails ,but shes gettin to old might have to put her down

riding a rev is just like riding a old pazer with the tss. i rode my brothers buddys rev for 45min on a trail run. its a 2003 rev 800. if you dont english it like a tss or old leaf spring sled it always lifts a ski in the corners on the trail. the bump handleing was nice but at 45 min my knees where starting to hurt from the rider forward position (occupational hazzard). if i coulda cocked my feet down like i do on my xt350 i probably would have been fine. kinda hard to do with runningboards.

I used to have a 99 700 sx and liked it at the time, then I went to an 02 viper and now an 05 rage, last spring I picked up 99 500sx for a good deal, I let a friend ride the 500 on a trail ride after about 60 miles we switched sleds and I could not believe just how good the old sx handled compared to my rage way better on a smooth trail!!!
