I just got back from a three day trip to the UP. We rode over 600 miles and after I can say that this A/C Jag is the smoothest and most comfortable sled I have ever ridden. After ridding an Attak for the last two years I was skeptical about the Jag's performance. Not anymore. The more I rode this thing the more I wanted to ride. Both my Polaris friends rode the Jag and were impressed with every aspect of the sled. The top speed I could get was 95 mph and 17.2 mpg. The power band is good and I would just like to ride the new Turbo Jag just once. That thing is going to be wicked fast. Hats off to the A/C engineers on this one.

Well said..when it comes to comfort, the Jag has the industry covered by a large amount at this time.

The coolest thing about the Jag is the comments you get from your buddies that ride competitive brands when they take the Jag for a rip.....that tells the story of the Jag better then anything else!

The Turbo is addictive, I have to show your post to my buddy, he's looking for an Attack he thinks it'll ride as good the Z1.
Where did you take the pics? I'm heading to Munising this weekend.

The pictures were on trail 58 that goes along lake Superior into Grand Marais. We left Tuesday in five inches of snow. The trails are a 9 in a scale of 10. They stop grooming on the 31st. You will have to plan your gas stops. The station in Shingleton is closed and so is the Buckhorn and Camel Riders, Cherrywood lodge and no gas in Christmas. The Jackpine is closed Mondays and Tuesdays also. Still plenty of good riding left UP there. Have fun.

Boy, we really do need to get Tour Buddy to build that tank, I assume some of those places have closed just because it's the end of the season ~ I hope!!!

The Buckhorn, Camel Riders and the Cherrywood all closed for the season. The gas station in Shingleton for good and the station and Pair of Dice hotel in Christmas for good. The Casino is looking to buy the Pair if Dice Hotel I heard.

We are looking at a Z1 but because my wife is considering riding her own sled next year, don't want to get a two-up. Does anyone have any thoughts on how the 128" would be with a JackSeat or the Cat speedseat?

Thanks.

I think the sled would handle fine after suspension adjustments. The passenger will be uncomfortable and cold since no heat to the rear grips.
