Sledding in whistler BC, this is my story so far- constantly updated.

something to do with the Accel it kicks in sooner and smoother, it really seems to gain more traction in deep powder when navigating your way through technical trees, where normally you would dig in and get stuck. I can confirm this, I tested it and its the best tree riding sled I have ever riden.
And it has a great power band.

Why am I not Buying it???
-Chasis felt nimble and weak compared to the apex, dosent have the fir and finish.
-engines really very depending on how many km are on them, theres good and bad ones.
-suspension and lightness of this sled made my body take all the impact from rollers and jumps whoops etc. I really didn't like this.

Honestly I enjoyed this sled more than any other sled I have tested.
But its not enough to get me off Yamaha anytime soon.

Exactly, Im not bashing it in anyway, Its next level backcountry technology, and Im always thankful for a new Mountain Chasis from any company.
 
since trails dont get groomed here anymore the ol sx just doesnt do it anymore. I need a more ditch friendly sled. my bud has a crossfire 6 and i honestly love it. So easy to carve/wheelie.

its the 2nd gen crossfire (2010). Done much research before buying and theres been very few failures with these sleds. And yes the diamond drive has been upgraded by dealer just incase. 2000mi so far with zero problems. Still has warranty for another 2 years.
 
I would buy the Apex XTX for trails hands down, its bulletproof. I loved my Mountain Max, and switched to the Apex even after riding several new sleds I think It will be a while before I get off this sled.
 
at that moment I would of left him with my SRX already..half a mile down..lol..maybe he should adjust his transfer a little less and keep them skis on the snow..lmao..:bash:
 
You noticed he was also climbing a big *** hill too. That was pretty awesome. If I had the money I might consider an Apex.

That's what I said when I was gonna buy an RX-1, then a few members on here told me the advantages of the Apex, and I was sold, after 50 Days of deep powder riding I have no regrets.

Its an awesome chassis to build on.

Damn dude! Awesome. Since Yamaha's are so heavy and underpowered how do you make the front end come up like that. Trick photography? :)

haha, thanks for the reply, its all 2-stroke Myth, truth is, Its not that heavy, its that awesome and its got a wicked powerband. bringing the front end up on this sled is simple. The camoplast extreme 162 helps grip and timbersled rear suspention really lightens up the back end. Theres no real trick to bring the front end up ,just a quick hammer on the throttle and hold it to the red line.
