		This sled rips! Handles like a dream. Seat is very ergonomic and allows the rider to easily lean and stand. Best sled ever for tight twisty Catskill Mountain trails. Plenty of power for the average rider. Smokes older Polaris 550's, Power only an issue on lakes but If you like to ride REAL trails th<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">en 70 mph is plenty. The ryde fx shocks are great, very smooth, and hold the corner very well. IQ chassis looks and works great. I'm very happy with this sled. </span>
