Cool. My Attak is no longer the fattest sled on the snow. The F1000 LXR is half a pound heavier :exc:

Weight, Fuel capacity, M.P.G and Range.
-It's a trade off 2 strokes are lighter but normally need larger fuel tanks to even get close to the same range as 4 strokes with smaller tanks.
-So, if 4 strokes with better mileage and range are penalize for its higher dry weight then a 2 stroke should be penalized for the larger tank and wet weigh needed to have the same range
-Should you penalize a heavier sled even though when full of gas they weigh close to and in most cases still have a greater Range than their counterparts?
- If a sled has both good mileage and range then Kudos’ to them and deserve the credit and sales !
- Would not Most snowmobilers today want a sled that has at least 120 to 150 mile range ?
- If you're that concerned about weight you can always put less gas in your tank but your range will suffer.
