2006 Polaris Touring Trail Deluxe

steering problem

The sled is a comfortable ride for two on the right trails. It starts easily, even when cold, with the electric start, and the reverse is great once you master feathering the throttle so that the engine doesn't quit. There is adequate power as long as the riders are not way overweight. On open tra...ils this is a really nice ride. On winding trails through the woods it can be a challenge since the steering response is not good. With only one rider(165 lbs.), steering through turns is always an adventure. The skis turn, the sled goes straight unless you slow down to 5-10 mph. With two(300lbs) it is better, but still an adventure. This sled can be a nice ride, but there is definitely a learning curve in the handling department if you ride in the woods. It will never be described as a gas mizer, but is is reasonable for gas consumption Read Full Review

Stay on the groomed trail

This is a nice sled for two as long as you are on a groomed trail or riding on open ice. It really struggles to respond well in fresh snow. The steering is kind of squirrelly on any turns. I have enjoyed owning it as long as I stay clear of any challenging terrain. Read Full Review
