You do realize that this is exactly the same sled as the FS Touring, right? So if you’ve expect this review to be much different than the previous one, I’d have to disappoint you right from the start. The Classic does have one advantage over the Touring, though – the fact that it is smaller. It’s also lighter which makes it even faster than the Touring. The smaller size makes it easier to handle and work the corners with. The comfort level is still that high, but unfortunately all the downsides are also valid. So here are the specifications for the FS Classic:

If I must choose between those two – the FS Touring and the FS Classic I’ll go with the Classic, so if you’ve absolutely fallen for those two sleds (although I don’t see a reason for that) and still wondering which one to choose, I suggest do go with the Classic version. Still, if anything else is on the “wonder” list – go with it. Or go for the newer versions of those two – there’s no way they’re as bad.
