That's right on the money. Although, my track is studded, and In the fluffy stuff I've ridden in, I have not had a problem with getting it buried at all. Just give er some gas, and she pulls right through. And, it does feel a little too tippy in corners, so I think I'm gonna get a 4th wheel kit they make for it, as they didn't place any in the back of the track, so it flexes when u hit the corners. I love the SnoPro, being it's lightweight, and absolutley soars through the air, very fast for the mods I have done, and it sounds beastly! And so far, have had no problems with it.
I can't really comment on many other sleds, other then a polaris switchback, and my pop's 99' Thundercat 1000 Triple, Which hauls ass! Clutch kicks in at 3,500, and ur off like a rocketship. It's a heavy bastard, but has an excellent ride, and is a great lake sled.

Thundercats and Storms, the old muscle sled war! Goodtimes
Yeah my brothers is studded to with the awesome 1.375" sno pro track (great track for other sleds BTW in the 15"x121" version!). My brother also tends to get stuck a lot on other sleds come to think of it so I am sure the rider plays into that too.
He had a problem with the speedo that stopped reading early on and there was a recall for it but other than that (super minor issue in my book) the sled has been reliable. Been real impressed with its durability. Oh he landed a jump badly once, on the back idler wheels and one side eventually shot off the sled. Not a huge deal and not a fault of the sled. Like I said my brother puts it through its paces, there was also this incident with him finding an aluminum boat under the snow once... and then later that weekend he came up the back side of a 7foot tall snowbank jumping into a completely plowed parking lot onto flat pavement. He also rolled it the first weekend he owned it and only damage was a 4" crack in hood, went out and bought a new hood and stored the new hood at my place for a bit. I wouldn't give him the new hood until last year because I was so sure he would just break it right away if we put it on.
