2006 Polaris Super Sport M-10
This is one of the upgrades for the 2005 Super Sport. The 06 Super Sport M-10 certainly looks better than its predecessor, but not too much have changed. The machine still feels slow compared to other Polaris models although it’s a little bit lighter than the Super sport. Still it’s a good thing to have if you’re a beginner or intermediate rider. The thing’s easy to handle, but it’s not one of the most comfortable sleds out there. It’s pretty good one fuel though, since its light and not that big. See the specifications:

Probably the most uncomfortable thing in the sled is the handlebars. They’re a little too low for an upright riding position and I think that’s something Polaris has to change about it. There’s also change in the skis ant with the Super Sport M-10 you get composite and not steel ones, anyway both of them give you stability just this one’s a little bit more pliable to jumps and stuff. The price is a little higher, but that’s understandable since the model’s newer and somewhat upgraded. I think the price is pretty fair though. Still if it was me I’d go for the 2005 model. There’s still much to be worked on this sled and for now the 2 models don’t differ too much (the 05 is just as good as the 06 one). We’ll wait for the 07 and 08 and see if they’re worth getting.
