Largely? Probably not. An added issue? For sure. First off, these early technology 4 strokes, like the apex, vector, nytro, RX1, are all terribly heavy and that will be the first reason its a pita in the tight stuff, secondly is that they have HORRIBLE chassis geometry and are much more fit to be submarines than sleds, third will be your lack of experience, and somewhere down the list will be the gyro. HOWEVER, what your feeling with the ease of riding when on the throttle is the reason we own these heaps... HP!!!!! The hp will overtake and get the weight transfered, the skis off the ground, and will let you lean and glide your way through the trees and carve up the hill with simple and easy body movements because there is nothing more in the snow than the track.
