I am looking at a few sleds, but have been told to try and get the x package. What are the differences between the mxzx and the mxz. I know of the shocks, but how much of a difference will it make with some light jumping (stuff around 10 feet) and aggressive trail riding? Are their any different chassis braces and such? Any years I should watch out for? Im only looking at stuff above year 2000. Thanks for the help.

the running boards are wider, and the chassis may be tougher...

theres more/less differences depending on what year and chassis your looking at. i believe in '01 and '02 the differences on the zx chassis were dpm, shocks, seat and bars. when you start getting into '03 and the rev chassis then it becomes differences like shocks, tracks, windshields, bars/steering posts, tunnel stiffeners, brake systems, and in '05 the 'x' even had a different skid than the standard (sc3 vs. sc4). so if you can narrow it down to a certain year than we can get more specific. happy hunting!!!

The 99' and older MXZ has sc-10 and the 2000 -02 have the sc10-2 suspension.Both ride good ,but the 2000 new has a better ride.

Agressive rider = X package

Sitdown rider = Trail or Sport package

what exactly is the adrenaline package? The x is the piggybacks all around...correct me if im wrong

adrenaline has dpm, hpg rebuildables, basically top of the line trail model.

X pkg has all the race inspired goodies.

if you're looking at a used sled go with the one that is in the best condition, but look for hpg shocks as a minimum requirement as they are the most effective and costly add on.

remember that the x package is a race package and is intended for big hits and taking bumps. Riders who own these sleds ride them hard as they're intended - if you can find a poser sled out there go for it, otherwise look at the overall condition of the machine.
