My buddy said that he's got a new switchback rented for a ride to Moosonee on the 27th of Feb. Hope it's the same sled. He said that the track rails are angled up a bit in the back so that the 144" track only has the foot print of a 136" on hard packed trails. Cool!

They have one at Elite in London.

When I walked in on Friday it stopped me in my tracks. Real sweet. I'd heard nothing about it until I saw it in person. I thought it was a proto at first or something. They really nailed the styling on this one.

I'm not a fan of the new Fusion's look but the switchback body work is similar to the RMK and is just awesome. It is likely the sharpest sled out right now of any brand.

Now, they should take the rest of the Fusion's IQ chassis / skid and add the Switchback cosmetics and then they will have something in a 121 ride.

The sneaker hanging out the back end just looks plain nasty along with the hot new body work. Hole shot should be fun on this baby.

I just read about that thing in Supertrax, and I ####ing love it!! I wanted a Switchback when they came out in '04, and I wanted the Fusion when I first saw it. So, what a perfect combination!!

If I was to switch brands which will probably happen eventually, the Switchback is one I would concider alot.

The sled looks awsome. the only thing i don't like is the extension on the tunnel. it looks like it is off a 151. it is too long for the 144. but somehow they manages to squease the big 900 into a smaller body lol.
along side the fusion it looks alot smaller. nice sled..

Fuzzy it is the exact same tunnel as the 151" RMK. This was definatly a rush job to get out there, so they haven't come out with a tunnel designed for the 144 yet.
It is a beautiful sled though! If I was buying a new one this year that's what I'd be riding!

If I would have known it was coming, I would have waited.

That's really what I wanted. The RMK hood and light styling is far better looking than the Fusions.
