Trail converted race sled??

[shift600]

I am wondering if anyone out there has a trail converted race sled or has ridden one? Do they work good for aggressive trail riding and/or offtrail riding? Thanks for any opinions.

I had an Polaris IQr for a time. It was stretched to a 159 so a little different, but from others who I talked to (I rode with 2 guys with 600RS Doos last week) you will LOVE the race chassis for off trail set-up or medium depth conditions (track length does make a difference).

As for trail riding, I don't think they tend to hold up as well. The real stiff lugs on the race tracks tend to break on hardpack, and the motors are pretty high strung. they like shorter WOT bursts rather than the duct tape and ride theory.

They also do not have sway bars so they will handle more like a mountain sled than a trail sled on the trails.

I would love to have a shorty race sled as a second sled, especially for spring riding!

the sway bar thing is way over rated after riding without one for a bit you will pull them from all your sleds.why do you want what your right ski is doing to affect the left? move your *** from the center seat and you can corner with the best of them.big roller moguls 1 ski off to the side the other in the rough is not pushing the one on the smooth.every one needs to try to disconnect 1 arm stiffen springs a bit and ride them you may find you like it
