I’ve seen them in a 2016 Green Ltd. setup and not sure if they had the beefed up rails or not I don’t think they did. I never seen one in 2017 unless I’m mistaken, never seen one in 2018 but the 2019 are supposed to come with the best fox QS2 or QS3 coil over shocks on a stock machine. They have a stronger rail setup to withstand drops & big jumps. Everything is built stronger and better in terms of suspension & shock absorbers. It’s kind of like ultimate backcountry rider sled, it’s Compared with Ski-doos free ride, & Polaris’s RMK PRO Assault.

Dropped chain case with 8 tooth drivers and 3" track. 1" narrower running boards and bottom panel tucked in to match boards.
