Squeezing the throttle is like flipping the Space Shuttle’s launch switch as the Mach Z catapults past the C-note. Ridden sensibly, the Z produces 600 class mileage – but who’d actually do that?!
Lows:
– Ski Doo must’ve been inhaling solvents when they threw a one inch track on this unbelievably powerful sled.
– Minimum required lug is 1.25 and it’ll still blend snow like a Procter Silex on puree.
– While we like the M-1’s low to the ground feel in the twisties, we don’t like our fillings knocked out in the ditches.
This snowmobile is so powerful; we’re addicted to riding it. In all the world of motorized conveyances, it takes second place to nothing – motorcycle, car or rocket.
The M-1 delivers power in unmistakably large doses and we’re prepared to admit we not only approve, but actually pine for the righteous moment when it’s our turn to light the fuse.
