I ran my buddy's 800cc sled with studs on the lake last winter. They had a radar set up there. I pulled 111mp/h on it. It was stupid fast.

Nice, the fastest I've ever went on a sled was 112MPH on a race modified MXZ 600.
The fastest I've ever seen was a T-Cat 1000 done up with jet fuel that ran a 135.

hands down the crazyest sled if seen in person is a custom turbo RX1

turbo anything for that matter sled wise halls ass. iv also seen a s/c F7 that i would keep in my bed room if i could lol.


fastest sled i have been on was a buddys mach z 800 wich ran 132mph in the 1/4 m

fastest i have seen was a all motor drag chassy with a cat engen wich ran 160+ mph.

most sleds will top out at a good speed but its the 1/4 m that really matters.


but for me i ride more aggrasive trail than anything.

Yeah, I love aggressive trail riding man.. I remember when I was about 14 I had a Jag 440.. I was able to keep up with 600's in trails cause I had some balls!
Sideways every corner, throttled pinned.. nothing like it lol, but then when I got on the lakes they were bye bye and I was putting It hit about 77-78MPH on a nice cold day lol

fastest i've been is probably 60mph in a 197x blizzard 5500

Four of us tried to help a crashed snowmobile operator. I took his leg by the thigh and calf and his knee just drooped in the middle like a limp spaghetti noodle. Those fast sleds scare me. There's been people lose their heads on barbwire fences in these parts.

Fast sledding on anything less than hard-pack trail is asking for your Darwin Award entry form. I've gone over 70MPH (once) and that was enough. I've seen sleds wobble at 80+ and wondered how the hell the riders stayed on and survived.

Gimme a Cat or a real-deal Skidoo, mid-range or long-track and I'm happy. Now that the new "base camp" is coming, I'll have a place to stage from. Hopefully I'll find a decent used one.

then u got a good deal.


but if you payed $2800 ur looking at $600-$700 for a new track and $150-$200 for new studs. so if u take that off this sled price i only payed like $1900-$2050 for my edge

an ur paying more like $3550-$3700 for ur f7


im just saying

true enough. I rode the sled last year and just bought a new track for $200. And that's an Arctic cat track brand new. If you need parts for your sled, there is a dealer out west of Hamilton that is going under and selling off alot of parts right now for half price or better. They are called Marsh Bros. and located near Hwy5 and 8. Check em out, they may having soemthing for your Polaris.

And studs? No thanks.

no studs y not..


and u got a track for $200 thats a crazy good deal.

is marsh bros a cat dealer

Marsh Bros was a cat dealer and sold various makes of snowmobile parts.

And no studs becuase they tear up my driveway and trailer. I am not a speed demon on the trails or anywhere else. Fastest I have gone is around 75mph on an open lake. That's fast enough IMO. Not looking to die while I am having fun.

small update hopfully i can start the tare down and reasembly this weekend and post up some pics.

so far i have power madd 5in risers, power madd throttle, 05 F7 bars , mbrp can i just pic'ed up to day a pro design tether, willwood master cylinder off a pro x andd the stubby seat that comes on the 04 440 pro xr same as this one...

Myself I get lots of sled time up north, snows good and deep enough from mid December to late Apirl the odd May ride to, Ive been on them all, but personally I bleed Blue. Current sled 2008 Yamaha Nytro Mtx with a Powderlites stage2 turbo setup, running around 280hp all I can say is scary fast. Love the sled.
