440 Snopro

[Wassup350]

Today i got the chance to ride a 440 Firecat snopro and WOW!!!!! That thing has so much power, it's amazing how much power they got that 440 to put out. I thought the Banshee was thrilling to ride but holy cow talk about acceleration. Only thing was it seemed very tippy and it seemed like it didnt want to turn because when ever you went to turn you'd wheely through turns because it's so jumpy.

i have 2 Firecat 700 snowpros. you think a 440 has power, these things do 0-60 in like 1.2 seconds and have 140 hp!!

 

i would also like to ride a 440 tho, those seats look sick as hell! how light are they? cuz my 700's are light as hell and i cant even imagine a 440

There isn't all that much weight difference from a 700 to a 440. Now, for the reason that a sno-pro rides like it did for you. A sno-pro sled is set up for sno-cross. It is a design specific sled. The chassis is designed to handle the rigors of sno-cross. Which means banked turns, and wicked jumps. On a trail, you don't find these things the majority of the time....... That is why a properly set up trail sled will whoop all over a sno-pro sled any day of the week in the trails. On the track, it's a different story. (Oddly enough.... ) Go see for yourself. it's a completely different animal. I would love to have a sno pro myself. (not of the arctic Cat brand, but a sno-x sled nonetheless) but I don't race sno-x. So, I don't need one. There are far better options out there for a trail machine. Now, I am pretty sure that ayone who does own a sno-pro is gonna jump in here and flame away. But, you can't argue the facts. Things are designed for a specific purpose. Sno-pro is a race sled. Ride it in the trails all you want. But, remember, there are better options out there for the trial machine..... That is however, that I am assuming that you are riding these machines in the trails...... if not, My bad.....

True True. I've raced a couple times in snocross and i know all about that. I raced in like 2 races at old forge and wiped out on this ditch that i didnt see because they wouldnt let me take some practice runs. I've also ridden a 2003 pro-x 440 that seemed to steer a lot better then the firecat snopro, my step bro is the one who owns it, he's ridden arctic cats before too and he said the same thing. i think they are just too high. They do soak up moguls very well though. They accelerate like a mofo too !!!!!! Can't imagine what the 700 can do. I think off the line the one i rode would take a 700 because this thing was clutched and tweaked up a little. I think it would even take my buddies 800 edge thats ported!!!
