they look really ugly

no affence owners:P

X2 Y ano offense though.

I got over ugly,ride one!

whats the big deal about the ride? better than the traditional chassis?


16k - good lord. Do they also make cookies while youre riding? So when you stop, they always have warm cookies ready?

They make rough trails melt away,at speed.Excellent high mileage sled.
I like the fact that its not held together by a cookie sheet,staying power!
I know of a few with over 25k and the front ends are as tight as new.
Blade deltabox chasis 99' to 08'-Ski-Doo How many different chasis since 99?

The chassis is the only good looking thing about the Blades-Im sure they ride and handle nice but they havn't had a "cosmetic" update since the 90's-there long overdue and likely holding off alot of perspective buyers.Its time for them to retool the dies and improve the styling!

They remind me of a mix of older phazers and Yamaha Sx's with a polaris headlight crammed in there.

Yes,they do.Its the cost of not being in mass production,fewer units cost more.Coulings $2500 alone.Cost me $145 for a windshield,3 times!If they mass produced them in mexico maybe they could become more price competive.Even so a dialed in blade has the best, longest lasting chasis available.An m-1000 sno-pro is almost$13k,apex ltx $12.5K.not that big a spread anymore.

Anyone interested ?

All the sledding I've done in the back country, I've never seen one of those sleds except the remote controlled one!! I bought it for my brother for Christmas!!

At $15000.00 a pop New they didn't sell too many. The RC Blade sold much better.

heyy, anybody want to trade there blade for my xlt600?

no offence to other owners but fuck are these sleds ugly face it they need the cosmetic look to sell.

Wow... could never tell your 14...... they need cosmetics to sell this coming from some one that rides an XLT....

just want to throw out there that, xlt's arent that ugly

i thought these went out of production?

They use a polaris engine so they must suck!

Wow, they re Almost as Ugly as the new Cats.

It would be nice if they ever answered their phone at FAST. I need parts for an M-10. And yes, the sleds are ugly. I remember how cool and exotic they seemed back in the 90's, now they just look old and dated. I'm sure they are good for certain aspects of riding... but if they were all they were proclaimed to be, they would have been raced competitively and accomplished something.

ugly? apparently you havent seen a new phaser

Doesnt Polaris make the engine for this thing? What is is suppose to be like a Ducati of the snowmobile world?

ok well to make this siple anyone of you guys want to ride with me when im on my blade good luck keeping up because its not going to happen if u think other wise send me a message about it

Right on Brother , Blades are still kick ass sleds.

My hpo doesnt handle like a 1wx but when the bumps get deep and they all are standing I can pass and move on without leaving my seat.Oh yea its a whole lot warmer than most other sleds Ive been on!

blades are stupid

Spoken like an 18 year old who obviously knows everything already. If you have ever riddin one you wouldn't say their "stupid".

I called there today, nice lady with a swedish accent awnsered and was very helpfull. my bro in law has 2 a hp0 and a 8+2 wx or somthing like that. both 800 twins. i ride cats and bleed green! but i tell you theres nothing in the world like a m16 suspecsion with ACE in the woops at 70+mph looks arnt everything!. im looking forward to another winter of riding with him and swapping back and fort on the trails. Ill try to get a few pics up soon. there both out in the barn keeping my cats company.

how come blades werent in the new xp videos, wow i wonder why?

How do they handle in the back country? The front looks like it may slow you down it the deep stuff. Are they heavier than other sleds? I've never got to ride one, but it would be fun to try out.

My 03'hpo800 with 136" track is 435-same dry weight as the new 08'the xp800 with short track.My 01 1wx700 is less than 400.

How do you compare your new 08 offering to a design that was released in 99'?Blade beat the 400# mark in 99'so whats so new and cutting edge about that!

i was just wondering how come ski-doo didn't compare the blade to anything in the video if there such an awesome sled?

Blades are a built to order sled,it would be hard to compare your new offering (xp)with a chassis design 9 years into production(blade),the introduction of the air-link rear suspension pushes it that much further ahead.The new ski-doo uses many of the blades design principals,does the ski-doo have a real frame?Front stabilizer,etc-cant compare a ferrari to a ford.
Pictures?

I finally did get through on the phone several weeks ago and they were nice to talk to and very helpful. I was pretty frustrated when I first made my post. Found out the hard way that you can't go back an edit your post after a day or so.

Well its about time that somebody needs to put their money where their mouth is and test one of these out.

Its not all about looks guys....

You never know until you ride one so that is the reason im not going to make any outstanding remarks on these blades.

yeah im 17 and im still acting a little more mature than most of you guys out here.

Thats odd.

welll IMO ... the blades are not as nice looking as they could be. i rememeber walking into the dealership 8 years ago and seeing this red sled in there. it was a blade. i thought it was bad ass looking. but now the look is outdated. But if they cared about the looks they would have addressed this problem already. Blade knows the demographic they are after ... and it's not the group the wants the sled that's the fad at the time. However i think it would be cool to see what new look they could come up with while still maintaining the performance they are currently offering to their customers. I did speak with my buddies dad who ended up buying a blade for $2500. had it all year but just couldnt get it set up right ... his only complaint was that their is just too much damn stuff to adjust and tinker with lol

Send Him My way, as I am always looking for 2500.00 Blades to buy.

I will buy all the Blades I can find for 2500.00. Rich

Me this weekend in Seney Michigan. Love My 2 Blades.
