The best Summit made is the one you just sold so you can buy a new one lol. I like my 05 well enough that i still have it. IMO the 05/06 are near the top. the 07's with the new 800R were hit or miss. i know some guys had no problem with them but others went through 3 or 4 motors. if i was looking for another sled i would be looking at the 10 or newer since it has a suspension update, the 11's have the
E-tech and nonported track. The new XM looks interesting but i am not willing to take the chance and buy a first year sled. but like i said that is IMO and i am sure there are others with diffrent views than mine.

2006 151 Summit X. No recalls, no problems, great carver - power and dependability.

[farwest]

I agree with Irondog ! 06 151 rev chasis.

I always thought my rev's were the best until I bought my 2012...I am talking about an out of the box do not touch and ride sled..

After my 2013 which is on order I'd say the 2016 will be my favorite.

I think I've had almost every one of them since 1996....for me, without a doubt the '13 XP etec....it has the most power, the lightest weight, the most track, the best fit and finish and zero problems.
I have had fun on every sled I've ever owned, but my '98 Summit-X 670 was also a very memorable sled....it wasn't until the 2nd year of the Polaris 800 that another stock sled would give it much competition on the hill.
Hopping on those older sleds now, I wonder how we had any fun at all....they have come a long ways!

[gros chien]

So far, 2012 freeride 154''. Can't wait for my 2013 XM X 163''

[Goughie]

2006 Summit X out of the box is the best imo! followed bby the 07 summit X 800r! if its all fixed up and running mint.

[jhubs]

Another vote for the 2006 summit 800x 151. Mine is awesome. I can keep up if not outperform the new sleds. I rode with a guy who had a 2009 xp with a big bore and he swore up and down his old 2006 summit still was the best sled he d ever owned. I would like a little more seat time on an xp before I d buy one...there are some deals on all year xps right now!

I sure like my 09 XP. Only a couple mods necessary. It's about the lightest sled doo has ever made and 150 hp and it climbs like a goat. Do the newer sleds handle better? Probably but they're heavier too. And yeah, my ol 98x 670 stretched to a 156 killed so many 800's it wasn't funny. Well, I thought it was.

The best Summit ever made? That was the green one that Mark Thompson put over the top of Snow King mountain. IMO - because of that the mountain market really took off and we are where we are today.

[2REV'NDOOHO'S]

My Favorite Summit was my 2003.5 Mid season Rev Summit 800 ho 144 was a great sled great color combo and a blast to ride.
Runners up are my 1999 Summit 600 zx chassis, 2008 X 146 AND 154.

Haven't ridden it yet but my 2011 Summit X 800 etec 163 (just picked up last weekend) anxious to ride it.
