Let me start out by saying my riding experience prior to today has been on my father-in-laws sleds up in Utah. He has a Vmax 500, a Vmax 600 and a Mountain Max 700 w/ triple pipes and a can....I had a blast on all of them...especially the Mountain Max. None of them hold a candle to the SRX I bought earlier this month. We got a decent amount of snow so I decided to make a couple loops around the yard w/ the new sled. When people say it wants to pull your arms off, they aren't kidding. I was really caught off guard by the mid range power of the SRX. I used to think that MM was fast....hell, it is fast...its just not in the same league as the SRX. No buyers remorse here!
 
Naaa bumps are no problem, ride my '01 all day and feel just fine,yep the pull of a srx is crazy i ride that then get on my 600 and it feels like i hopped on a '72 ski-doo single cyl.,just night and day diff.
 
if i'd get any skid, it would probably be the edge.... But i have no real problems with the proaction... Then again i'm 20 and my back isn't as bad as yours daman HAHA!

Yep,they pull like crazy.I remember going on a trip to north bay ontario,i got up early because i was so excited to try my srx on freshly groomed trails.I got on the the trails and they were groomed to perfection and had time to "set up" because they were flat and hard.I had brand new studs,bender transfer rods so i knew i would get traction.I couldnt believe how hard it pulled when i pulled the trigger....i just about fell off the back of the sled.It pulled the skis about a foot off the snow and it took off like a shot,i'll never forget that feeling.Just awsome!!!

North bay is awsome!!! Your a lucky man,I would love to have trails like that out my back yard.I like it because the trails are awsome and there is a lot to do within the area.(moz-e-on inn) (fannys) are two of my favorites.A lot of areas in Canada have great trails but they roll up the sidewalks at 8:00 pm and its a ghost town,cant even find gas half the time.
 
Yep, the SRX sure is a fun sled, I rode a couple Polaris Edge X 600s last year that a buddy and I did maintanance on, those Polaris felt like complete turds. They felt OK until about 30-40, then it made alot of noise, but didn't go anywhere. My SRX would be gone like they were tied to a stump...
