On a couple railroad grades i got up to 90-95. I havent gotten my 500 over 95 yet, so im calling 95 its top speed. Dads had his 700 up to 110 on a lake, but who knows how off the speedo is. My brother has our old Ultra SPX up to 105 in a field out back. Its probably around 1/4 mile, most likely a little more.

Best to get real familiar and comfortable with your sled before you
push the envelope, even on a well known lake, trail, road or wherever.
When shitstuff happens, it happens fast!

are you talking about trail riding?
our trails connect up with old logging roads and swamps,so doing 70-80 isn't that hard to do. riding thru the woods averageing 50-60.

Well now that my powervalves are actually working my sled is an animal, got it up to 100 on the speedo today in a field for the first time ever. It would max out at 85 on the railroad bed before, but now I see that 85 was actually good for having the powervalves not working!
