The RS Vector Mountain SE doesn’t care for the slow trail or wooded areas. Point it up a mountain or across wide-open powder and the 162″ track will take you screaming wherever you want. The thing handles great and after a couple of hours when you get used to that little extra weight you’ll feel like the luckiest person in the world. The machine is powerful and comfortable. It handles pretty well regardless its weight. It’s actually one very stable sled. The specifications for it:

The only problems you may experience are with the starter. Sometimes when it’s too cold it may freeze. That’s on rare occasions though and I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Another thing is the gas mileage. The RS Vector Mountain SE has a small fuel tank and you may want to consider carrying some extra fuel with you. Everything else works just fine and if you’re looking for a really good mountain sled this one should definitely be in your list.
