    You don’t need studs. They do provide better traction, but then your running the risk of them popping out, damaging your track and usually punching a hole in one of your coolers. If u dont have a gauge or light on your cluster to tell you when ur engine is overheating you might blow it up. If u use studs just be careful not to be running over logs or rocks. I recommend getting carbides cuz they cant hurt at all.

      Ikr. Payed $1500 CAD for a Rev a couple years ago. Now to be fair, it was a piece of shit and legitimately exploded but still 😂 And I payed $4200 for a Rev XP last year. It's also trash, bottom end is gone. Still trying to get rid of it lol. I really like the Rev XP chassis though. Tippy in rough terrain but good once you get used to it. Better than the XS in my opinion. But ya now I'm trying to get rid of it an get an Arctic Cat. Ski-doos have been nothing but issues for me and some of my friends have Ski-doos too and we're always breaking down. Two of my friends have Arctic Cats, they beat on those things to no end and they still run like a million bucks even with a lot of miles. And keep in mind, we do strictly off-trail riding, so it's pretty tough on sleds. Full throttle basically all the time and very rough terrain. One of my friends snapped his whole front suspension off at the start of the season. Riding, hit a big frozen bump while going insane speeds, snapped the entire front suspension on the left hand side and bent the shit out of the frame. The whole A-arm, the shock, and then obviously the ski went with it. Ripped off the side panel too because the left side of the sled dug into the ground. Sled actually wasn't totaled somehow. There was only extremely minor damage to the actual chassis so it steered a little bit off but still ran 😂

    I never owned a sled. Manly because of lack of money. But yesterday I went in to the local “toy store” and they have a black 2012 Grand Touring 600 e-tec in there which have gone 780km and it looks really nice. Not suspiciously to nice…but nice. Price is about half the new price and I’m REALLY considering it.

    Growing up we had Arctic Cats, then the first sled I bought was an 02 Yamaha viper (very reliable). The second sled was a 05 Ski-Doo 600 GSX(very comfortable). Then an 08 Ski-Doo MXZ adrenaline 800(also comfortable). Then a 2014 Ski-Doo MXZ X 800 E-Tec( rides like a dream). Now I went back to Yamaha with the sidewinder l-tx haven’t rode it yet. I love the mxz x so much I kept it yet

    Think of the Tundras as lighter models of the Skandic
    they don't have that INSANE pulling power but for your average cottage owner pulling a sleigh of wood or ice fishing gear down narrow bush trails it's perfect.
    decent pulling power, FANTASTIC flotation, narrow enough to fit in between trees and light enough you can muscle it around. Carves super easy which is nice in the bush.
    They suck on the groomed trails (tippy as hell), but if you're hauling down an unbroken narrow twisty trail (or making your own) there's nothing better.
    It's main market is guys up north that need a cheap reliable utility sled for stuff like hunting, trapping, and fishing.
    tunda sales have been only going up since yamaha quit making the bravo in 2011 and the new bearcats freaking suck...........czcams.com/video/XZN2BeYMNko/video.html

    I was a little disappointed with your dirt bike video as you didn’t take into account MX and trails but I still like the choices, I am a beginner but I am going for MX so I wonder if CRF250R (2007-2016 on fb) would be good since you C A N go slow just it is a bike made for racing and is a two stroke

    • @Aspired329
      @Aspired329 Před 5 lety

      a CR250R is a 2 stroke which they stopped making in 2007 while a CRF is a 4 stroke. CR250R not for a new rider but could get away with a CRF250R if you have ridden at all and plan to race motocross.

      @Fawthur Then get the FX or X as like the CRFX's the WR's are pigs even in a 250. If weight is your thing than KTM but some weight is important to handling and well reliability. Not some much the better it manuevers but the more maneuverable it is for a skilled rider. WR still probably better for a offroad beginner regardless.
