Heys guys and gals, here's a link to the 06 stuff. http://www.lewishillbillies.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1037

Not alot of info, mostly just pics. There will be a 4-stroke turbo, and all the pics are of IQ chassis machines. Even the Classic is in an IQ. Seems to me the name doesn't work. How can you have a "Classic" in a brand new chassis, but what ever.
And I hope everybody liked the colour scheme from the IQ racer, cause that's what we have next year.

Thanks for the link I enjoyed the pictures. Have you herd anything about a IQ racer chassis aviable to the consumers yet? I really like that chassis and I would like to streatch it to a 136- 2 and have my dream sled atlast :inlove:
Well I think I would like it....maybe some color changes

I dont know... I was never big on the new fusion design. I love the XC, edge and past XCR designs a lot better. Maybe im just old fashioned but at least they lost the trailing arm.

Hey Heffy,
After a wonderful ride yesterday I pretty much decided to keep my Edge for at least another year. It is a wonderful chassis even if it's not the lastest and flashiest out there. COmfortable, predicable, stable. What's not to like?

Yea, the colours of the new ones will have to grow on me too? The garish red and blue look a little too much like a toy from Walmart.

Haven't heard any details about the sleds, BUT I GUESS WE WILL TODAY!!! Oh damn, I guess it's only the 23rd today. I GUESS WE WILL TOMORROW!!!!

The new brochure does not list weights for any of the sleds on the specification chart. They do talk about 120 H>P> for the 600 H.O and 135 h.p. FST for the four stroke. First time in years they put any thing in the brochure about H.P. The Fusion ad for 2005 was the first I remember seeing from them in writing for quite a while regarding H.P.

I have spoken to people that have ridden the new 4-stroke and it is an "unbelievable" ride. quick off the line and all the way through the power band. That 600 H.O. looks like it could be a killer to, now lets get something to beat those F7's.

No 600 IQ racer design production sled for 2006...what were they thinking?

YEah, how about this deal! 99% APR! (must have meant 9.9%)

What we are seeing are the consumer production sleds for next season. As I recall, typically their race sleds aren't released or promoted till much later.

I would think there will be one since they have the 600 H.O. in the Fusion (But that is just my opinion, no intell to that effect)

aNYONE figure out the difference between the FST and FS sleds? I assumed the FST was turbo (which it is) and the FS was non-turbo. BUt, the specs say the FS has a turbo, too. Is that a mistake?

Also, the IQ Classics have a 128" M-10. HOw about that? A 128! Looks like a good balance.

I see the FS is a non-turbo engine, so the specs for the FS sleds is just wrong. FST they say is 135HP and 100ft-lb!
