So there was another thread that started about some dudes cat being a piece of junk and turned into a bit of a viper bash. I posted that I bought a 2014 viper and if some were interested i would give some reports. Well some of you were, so here is first one. First off its a red rtx. No mods as of yet. Big enough hole in my wallet. Lol. Anyways im in wny and its been snowing for about 10 days straight. Easily 36- 60'' of snow throughout wny. (To bad its gonna rain next 4 days and wreck all of this awesome base). But trails opened yesterday so thought id go break some trails and see what this pup could do. What a difference 8" more of track makes (129" over a 121"). This thing is a absolute beast in powder. Got stuck only once and that was in a spot that im not sh*tty you was at least 5 ft deep and I didnt have the momentum that I needed. Otherwise probably would have got threw. Some trails were broke and not groomed so were pretty bumpy. Again very impressive. I was a bit leery of the fox airs but really like these shocks. Sled rides like a dream. Bit stiff at moment but need to break in. But you can just attack the bumps. Actually sled wants you to ride it that way. Transition from sitting to standing is like putting on your underwear. Easy peasy. Hand warmers and thumb warmers plenty warm. Power wise thing seems killer. Hard to gauge acceleration when riding in powder all day. But did do a short run down a snowy rd and it gets up to 75 in a hurry. (thats as fast as i went). Cant wait to have some groomed trails to run on to see how she handles but so far very impressed. Did suck alot of gas but again was in powder the whole day. So far very impressed!!!!
