Almost new SXS rider from NC

My name is Steve and I am an fun addict!  LOL  I grew up on atvs had about 8 of them and hit wv and windrock about every other weekend.  Then I bought a Harley and got out of the dirt.  Now I am on Harley #4 and it is time to sell and get back to the dirt. 

I have never been in a SXS so i am not sure how any of them ride.  I just moved out to a nice place in the country with nothing but atv trails around me.  I noticed the Arctic Cat Trail XT is coming out very soon, would that be the right SXS to have for atv trails?  I have not seen a trail in person but the Wildcat X LTD seems a little wide for most atv trails that is why I passed on it.  I am very ready to pull the trigger as soon as they come in and I can sit in one.  I will mostly be riding around the house on atv trails.

        I would take my time and go look at a lot of different things. I am partial to the Can Am lineup and Polaris lineup. The only wildcat I like is that new Limited with the Elka shocks. 

Can Am Rotax power is tough to beat though. Call Travis at Performance East in Goldboro and tell him Tolliver Smith sent you. Ask him to show you the Maverick. You will love it. While your there ask him to show u the Polaris rzr's and Wildcats. He has great prices and will let you test them all then you decide. Buy what you like and lets go riding.     Happy searching and Good Luck.

   if u r riding trails around here 50 inch or less will do good around here i just bring mine to wva and the 60 and 64 inch do great there

 

don't be concerned about the width unless you ride a restricted area a lot. the wider,longer travel suspension rides much better and keeps the tires on the ground in rough terrain. I bought a rzr 570 and I regret it only because the ride is so stiff. I will trade it on a rzr 900 or arctic cat 1000 next year.

 I rode the wildcat trail it is a great 50 inch machine

  

I have a Wildcat Trail XT and so far it's been a great sxs. It goes really well, and it's pretty fast.

  

I have rode the trail xt and its an awesome machine with great features,very sporty and very responsive on the throttle and corners and handles well,if I did not have the large cat that would be my next purchase, and I dont have a problem taking my 70 inch wide cat anywhere, I am very happy with what I have!

I bought the Maverick XXc 60 in. Love it. Ride at home and WV trails mostly. Go to the forums for each of the machines and read about any problems or concerns that the owners are having. EX. Maverick forum, Commander forum ect. I went from a teryx to a Maverick, it fits me good at 6ft plus.
