And for some, the 9000-Series turbo engine offers the ultimate in convenience, as it produces the same power at all elevations so you do not need to change the clutching or gearing set-up if you should decide to ride at a different elevation. 2-Strokes have a narrower powerband, 4-strokes have a wider powerband. The 2-strokes are lighter, more agile and easier to maneuver, as well as easier to dig out when you get stuck, but they just simply do not last for as many miles or hours of operation. The 4-stroke engines are going to be more durable over the long haul, but they are heavier. As always, this comes down to engine durability/longevity vs. Now for the hard part – how much power, and will it be 2-stroke or 4-stroke.

Just a few short years ago a sled like this would have been considered an all-out mountain sled, but in these days of extreme everything a sled with a 141” track length and deep lugs is now becoming wildly popular. Generally, the “trail” oriented options have wider front ends, lower lug tracks and more features in common with their ZR counterparts, where the deeper snow longer track models have narrower front ends and more features in common with their M-series counterparts. They now offer eight distinct XF models, with 28 different versions if we count engine sizes. Basically.Īrctic Cat has the most extensive line-up of crossover sleds, ranging from 136” track lengths with lower lug heights to 141” track lengths and taller lug heights. The differences between a crossover sled and the trail segment is pretty much a matter of track length and lug height, and when we get to how a crossover sled differs from a mountain sled it is once again in track length and lug height. For the past few years, the lines have blurred as to what is a “trail” sled, what is a “mountain” sled and now what is a “crossover” sled.
