		I bought this sled brand new from a local dealer here in ontario and I must say I am impressed. It offers plenty of that extra power for deep snow and small hill climbs and does great on the trail. Handles really well, and the iq chassis I must say is great. For the price you cant beat it, sure ther<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">e are the small things that bug me, like a higher then normal idle speed and the track being .91 long and not an inch, but it is overall a great sled. </span>

		I bought a 2010 550 shift for my 13 year old who was tired of horsing around touring sleds and 340's. He fell in love with it instantly. his 16 year old brother who was NOT so fond of riding took it out for a 20 mile run with me and said &quot; wow dad i would like riding if i had one of these!&quot<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">; so i bought a new ( dealer had old inventory) 2008 600shift and we are all happy. great zip and super response on our narrow Pa. trails. i may grab another 600 shift for the stable! great sled for the money.  </span>
