so i got the go ahead from the wifey to buy a new sled. my question is im stuck between a 11 renegade 800 etec and a 12 800 etec. is it worth a lil more than 3g for the 2012 the main difference i see is the on the fly adjustable shocks other than that i dont see anything. whats your input on it.

Quite honestly I think you would be completely satisfied with the 2011, especially if there is a $3k difference in price. I wanted to go with a '12 Freeride, but for the minimal changes that were made this year it was an easy decision to save $5k buying a used one. You can make some upgrades to the '11 and still have some extra cash to ride all winter. Let someone else eat the 1st year depreciation that has $$$ burning a hole in their pocket.

Awesome. I'm jealous, a lot of guys are already riding out west. We are going to the grass drags Saturday, but after that the quest for snow covered hills will be top priority. Would be nice to get a Thanksgiving ride in at least. Need to start burning some 2-stroke through the new Freeride.
