All the new 2011 Sleds have been released. Which sled do you like the most & which sled would you purchase?

I liked Yamaha Apex SE or or Apex XTX with EPS but the price is too high so I thought Polaris did a good job with the Turbo IQ LX for far less money. Probably just stay with current Attak & see if Yamaha comes out with Apex 136 GT with EC Ohlins in 2012. Always something missing & difficult to spend additional bucks for add ons if OEM package is lacking.

The biggest break through sled of 2011 has to be the polaris pro rmk at 431lbs. I would of like to see that chassis in a 136". I just called my dealer and he doesn't think there will be one unless its a late release. Kinda of curious what the story is with the 800 engine. Have they made any changes?

For the price I think I would do a 4tec skidoo with an x package. I do like the Yamaha but just cannot fit on it being 6'5.

I would love to see the new chassis in a 136" too. The perfect sled for me would be a Rush LX with a 4 stroke, but I don't think they can fit that engine in there, but I hope I'm wrong. I either have to buy the new chassis with a 2 stroke, or stick with the IQ to get the 4 stroke. I may have to wait another year, which I really don't want to do! I think Polaris did a pretty good job though, as you'll never have the perfect model for everyone.

I can't get the pictures of each model to open up. Anyone else having that problem?

It seems like Poo and Cat are falling behind with engine technology. I know Yamaha is done with 2 strokes, but they are building lighter-weight, reliable and efficient 4s. Doo is ahead of both Poo and Cat in the 2 strokes and isn't bad on the 4 strokes either. I thought Poo and Cat would have something new to offer in terms of engines this year.

Nice to see all the improvements from all the manufacturers and the competition. Makes for better products for all of us. I ride the trails but also take a trip to the mountains every year so the Ski-Renegade Backcountry is looking real interesting to me. I really like the e-tec motors and the light chassis from Ski-Doo. I am real close to pulling the trigger on an Renegage Backcountry 800 e-tec. Is has a 137" X 16"x 1.75" track, 38" - 40" adjustable ski stance, 6.3" handlebar riser, sips gas and oil, lots of power and idiot proof starting in all temps. Also, I can pop on a 1+1 seat for the kids (or more likely for me) when they want to drive it, then take it off when I am pounding on the sled with the guys.

Pro Rush for trail riding and Pro RMK 155 for steep and deep. unfortunately I think I'm stuck with my switchback for another year.

Polaris Assault for sure. Just would need a little mod to get the machine to go over 65 mph..... Very nice machine.
