Good buy! I am always hesitant to but the first model year of anything, I'm sill on the fence about the flex track & T-motion. I'm shure the T-motion will be improved upon next year anyway.
XP Summit on a Michigan dealers floor, they really wanted to move it. I rode a XM with T-motion for a bit, too little time onboard to say much. I will wait to see how far Doo will take it, or if they scrap the idea.
Nice sled, the Summit is a great michigan mountain sled as it rides and handles like a short track on the trail. I think between my wife and I we have had 6 XP chassis summits.
And then my baby....There is a reason they call them RMKings
barry1me, nice sleds! My plan was to spring check a 146 and do away with my XP Gader, but the 154 was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. I ride with a couple guys on RMK 155's, they are not too bad for a Polaris product.
Thanks man. I like the 154 its a nice tweener sled for out west. What I miss about the Summits was the wheelie/fun factor. Our summits have been great sleds. My favorite summit was my 2010 XP 146 800r X package. I sold that for my 2011 RMK 163. No looking back thats for sure. I did ride a 800 etec and it does put some more power to the ground then the Polaris does. The last time we were in the snowies the powder was so deep that we couldnt carve without the snow choking out our engine, we installed the SLP powder valves on the bottom of the intake and it solved the problem.
Sorry I didnt explain what I meant above. The issue was on our 2010 Summits. We had 3 2010 summits that had the same issue with choking out the engine in deep pow. We fixed all 3 of our summits with the SLP powder valves. We had a 2011, 2 (2012), and 1 2013 RMKs and have never had an issue with deep snow or wet snow choking out the engine on the RMKs. Only issue with the 13 RMK is we took out the driveshaft within the first 6 miles....Polaris recalled all of the driveshafts and havent had an issue since. Only issue we had with the 13 is that we did some MAJOR damage to the carbon fiber structure with a light hit and yanking hard on the sled in deep snow. $1600 worth of damage:teehee:
Gotcha, did the Summit's have the prefilter sock? I am running JC's Customs Vent kit on my Renegade, plan to install same on my Summit with their airbox intake & cowl intake screen kit. I have until first week of April before next West trip.
yes it did. the only summit I have had with out foam intake/net was my 08.
