That sounds like a great spot! 😊 Is the D trail easily accessible right from the driveway, or do you have to ride a short distance to get onto it? And how is the parking space for larger trailers?

That is not a typo.   The Rave is noticeably heavier.    You can feel it instantly after swapping with an MXZ.      it’s still a great sled but has its shortcomings.    The PPS skid doesn’t roll as easy as an RM skid as well.    The RAVE 850 maxes out at least 10km/h slower than an MXZ850 on a long stretch.      I loved the seating position on the RAVE.   So much I think I will buy the 27 MXZ seat for my 26 as it looks like it will feel similar to the RAVE.  

IMO the weight is noticeable at 46lbs between a rene x900t and mxz x 600. I think of it as 1 bag+ of concrete sitting up front. The 900turbo and the 2 strokes are both really awesome and its amazing how much different they are to ride. Funny enough I found the 900t with smart shocks easier to ride in quebec and almost boring compared to my 850 where im out of the seat and use alot more body english to rail corners. With that being said there is a brake, slide, point and shoot snocross technique that MJ does on a 900t around corners that i dont have the guts or talent to try myself lol! . An 850 comp on the other hand is a whole other animal that has zero problems hanging with 900T's on the high speed trails, and gets up to speed faster too. If money is no object and you want fast and scary fun, the comp is where its at. Fast and luxury 900t all the way.   Ya they are a tough used market sell being advertised as aggresive mogul eaters i guess scares people away. I noticed in the spec books the 27 850 na Rave weighs in at 527lbs. The 27 xrs 850 na weighs in at 495lbs in a 129 track and 504lbs in a 137. Thats alot of difference between the two. For reference the rene x 900t is 529lbs, 2lbs heavier. Possibly a misprint i dont know.  

I get it, just busting some balls.   For where I spend most of my time riding, lightweight 2 stroke makes the most sense.    I am not going to change, sleds might, but that’s what makes sense riding district 7.

That is my big beef with Lynx.     I never lost so much money on a sled as I did on my 24 Rave.       They are more money than an MXZ XRS new and resale for less on the used market.        I loved my RAVE but would only buy another one if I knew I was keeping it for 3 years.
