I GO, YOU GO!
BY MARK BONCHER
We play this game all the time off trail, or even on trail… you or your riding partner(s) challenge each other to either make it through something very technical off-trail… learn a jump before your sibling… get through a long, gnarly, mogul filled twisty section of trail and not be two miles behind the one in front… or many other fun scenarios. That’s a big part of the greatness of snowmobiling is the challenge, fun, and good times with your friends and family. Four new sleds allow many opportunities for both on and off-trail fun that others don’t. We spent a pile of days on the new Polaris Matryx 850 Switchback Assault 146-incher, Ski-Doo Backcountry X 850 146, Riot 8000 standard 146, and Yamaha Sidewinder XTX LE 146. They are four of the most wanted sleds on the crossover side of the market for 2021.
