Awesome work guys...love that SWT...!!👌💪

Very cool. They may not be the fastest transportation around, but they work very well in the woods and deep snow, off trail. It's not comfortable but I've grabbed some big air with them too!

Would really like to see the Alpine 2 enter the competition too!

I had a late 90s Scandic SWT in Alaska, they're amazing sleds. The only thing I didn't like, is the tunnel is so wide its uncomfortable to straddle, but standing with one knee on the seat, its a real deep powder machine.

@m8pwa i'll check in to that, thanks!

I knew the ski doo would win. I got a 2018 ski doo tundra with the articulating rear end. Work wonders on reverse.

I would like to try it!

One advantage the viking has over the skandic is the chaincase on the yamaha, versus the skandic's gearbox. try pricing out parts for the gearbox and rebuilding it compared to the chain, bearings, and sprockets on the yamaha. Thats probably why they are so popular in remote areas with limited supplies.

@janetontheplanet84 taking off the snow flaps is the best thing to do as well - they really screw up the reversing of the sleds in deep snow.

@FrankaDith heck frank i wanted to keep reverse just to get it off my long trailer:) but ya you need reverse on those monster utility sleds, they are definitely made for working.

How hard was the flip set on both machines. If you loosen it max or even lock it in the up position you could go like mad in reverse. The Lynx Ranger Mountain (kind of the same as Summit but with upward bent skid) is a BMF in reverse.

@480Pelle the alpine 2 doesnt do as well in reverse in my opinion, we'll have to make mods to the ski so it doesnt dig in.

Nice video, where is this?

The viking goes really well through deep snow

where did you get your vk 540?

@lshobie I agree, thats's a problem with the Alpine. I tried reversing against my brothers Lynx 5900 (Skandic WT) and I easily beat him with my Alpine 2. That's why I wonder how it would stand up to the SWT. :-) The Alpine could use a higher rear end though and as mentioned, a modified ski...

Slush is bad no matter what we drive eh. I hope they bring out a lighter version - these things are cars on a track.

Ну и тесты у Вас) Зацепите сани с грузом 500 кг и попробуйте передом по лесу проехать) А тут, что вы показываете?

hi i have a 1967 OMC Snow Cruiser 207 (20.5 in wide track, 16.5hp, low geared, 5000 rpm, 35 mph max speed, 1.25cm cleats, skinny ski's, low running boards), and i think its great in deep snow, do you think it could compare to deep snow capabilities of these sleds. also do you know how i could get wide ski skins for it, skins like on your long track élan.

I've never seen a skandic with a wire cutter except in the military. Did you friend get that thing from auction or are they available commercially as well?

where is this???

It's military surplus.

Klim is the bomb! rep that shit bro!

what the hookn the hood of the sled???

@kizig18 ahh, non military then??

Impressive machines ,now i understand why you wanted to keep your reverse chain case on your hyped up machine against my opinion of getting rid of it ,reverse rocks the those wide tracks although not the fastest machines, they have got lots to say about utility .

What is the apparatus you have in front of the windshield on the swt

Yes its fair play, i know for a fact that my Lynx 5900 1991 (50cm track) reverse MUCH better than my older brothers lynx 6900 with 60cm track (same as scandic superwide track). Most cuz its much lighter (about 220kg) and has different "slide-boggie" with almost no suspension and is built only for deep-snow riding. And all so the engine is weaker and the clutches are better, so that you can start from standing still really smooth. with the older 5900 you can ride on top of the snow, and dont have to ram it trough the snow, even in reverse. Even my lynx 3900 with 38cm track reverses better then the superwide track, just need to know the sled, and how to ride it. :) Try search here on youtube: Lynx 5900 glx, its probably the best wide-track ever built. :D

SWT rules !

The Skandic backed up 5 times where as the VK backed up 4 and when the VK broke through and came up on top of the snow the driver stopped. Also the drivers make a difference, the VK driver was less aggressive. Very poor job boys, hope you don't do this for a living

I don't have a VK540, no. But I can count and I know that the VK540 would back up much better if it were in the hands of someone who knew how to use it, let alone if it was given as many tries as the Skandic. I am saying they didn't give each machine EQUAL tests, they showed favor to the 24" track machine over the 20".

@buttheadand. The skandic i a skidoo....
