I had to get up on the tank and over the bars a little more than on other machines in this class. I found that I had to lean a little more into the corners if I was riding aggressively though. Still, we found many of our test riders were happy to swap out for either this or our Apex LTX as we neared the end of our test rides, when the tushie was starting to tire a bit. The Mono Shock RA rear suspension absorbs the stutters really well although it wasn't quite as impressive in the big mogul fields. I noticed some of our lighter sleds seemed to skate a bit more on glassy trails. There's simply no tail wag with Vector, even on icy trails.
lugged RipSaw track really digs in on the trails to give the sled more bite as you accelerate out of turns. Because of the chassis' balance, it's not a hindrance on groomed trail rides and the GT is aimed directly at the groomed (G) trail (T) rider.
The Polaris Shift in our long-term fleet tipped the scales at 561, while our Ski-Doo TNT was the lightest at 499 lbs. less than our Arctic Cat F6 LXR but other 120-horse 2-stroke 600cc sleds weigh much less. Weigh the issues There's no denying that weight remains an issue with the Vector. Not that I stand up a lot on a sled, but when you want to move around for better control in the twisties, the Delta Box II is a better setup than in the previous Vector. That gives you better leverage on the bars and allows you to transition to a standing position much more readily too. Plus, you ride in a more upright position with your knees at roughly a 90-degree angle and your arms straight out instead of reaching up slightly. That alone makes the Vector a more comfortable sled, putting the rider much further forward than the former Vector, and the rider and machine's weight is more centralized as well. This past season we tested a blue Yamaha Vector GT, which migrated to the more rider friendly Delta Box II chassis in 2008, the same chassis as its higher horse cousin, the Apex. The 4-stroke powered Vector is smooth, polished, luxurious, but with enough thunder under the hood to impress your friends.
