2006 Arctic Cat Family Trail Z 570 LX
This is one great first sled to have. Not just because of the way it performs, but also because of the price. You don’t want to risk it with expensive, fast sleds before you really learn how to control them. The Family Trail Z 570 LX is a nice way to start. It’s one very steady, fan cooled model that starts all the time with no problems. It’s pretty comfortable and with great gas mileage. It’s not top end orientated sled, but if you want you can push it up to 85-90 mph pretty easily. The Family Trail Z 570 LX is extremely easy to control and that’s exactly what every beginner needs. That’s why I think you’re gonna like it. Here are the specifications for it:

For the more experienced riders this sled may feel like a toy, but remember they’ve also started riding on something like that. It’s a good sled that will not fail you and will soon take you to the next level. The price can’t be better - $5799 is pretty cheap for a 2006 model and I suggest you take advantage of it.
