Hello

 25 responder transcriptHey guys, Ryan here. I'm very excited to announce the 2025 Yukon 9.5 ft Responder. This is the largest UHMW sled made specifically for the Arctic. It's handcrafted in Whitehorse; Yukon and we ship all over the world. This sled is built to last a lifetime. It's very expensive to buy initially, but it will stand the test of time. Some of our customers have over 100,000 kilometers in the Arctic without a single repair. The sled is made from material that does not crack down to -107°. And it'll last up to 13 times longer than steel being dragged oversand and gravel continuously. So, this is a sled that you buy once, cry once. It'll last a lifetime. We sell replacement parts. You know, Hitch ends, you know…they'll wear out eventually. Pins, retainers, runners, those are all consumables. But the rest of the body should last a lifetime. OK. So, I'm going to show you some special thingsabout this new model this year. I'm going to flip the camera around. Here we go. So first big change for 2025 is we've made the hitch exponentially stiffer. Okay, this stiff is an inch and a quarter thick, and it features an auto purge snow valve, so you won't get a lot of snow built up there. And I'm 200 lbs. I'm going to step on this hitch. OK, I can hardly make this thing flex. Why is that a good thing you ask? Well, that’s going to give you the maximum reversibility with a big load. So that's something we're excited about. We've got our standard Hitch Ends. These are 4140 hardened steel pins with retainers. These pins do not come out. These Hitch Ends are made specifically for Scandic and Expedition BRP Flapper Hitches. If you have a different flapper Hitch than stock, let us know. We have some different ones for all you guys who make your custom flapper hitches. These sleds, they come wit handles all over them nice to handle.  30-inch-high front, 24-inch-high sides. These sides are flexible. This whole sled's flexible. It'll stretch out to four feet wide to swallow the biggest load. Our commercial wood cutters claim that they can get a whole chord of wood. In one of these and pull tandem. These sleds will haul as much as a Scandic Super Wide can get traction to pull, and they'll do it reliably everyday. These are real workhorses. This onehas rub rails on the side, good for deflecting you around rocks. It also gives you extra flotation when you're going through overflow with these sleds. These are the best sleds on the market for overflow. Some people report getting stuck 90% less with these sleds. Since the slushgoes underneath the hitch and the churned-up water and slush, it actuallylifts the front of the slide up and it elevates it. So, the experience with one of these Yukon Responders is when you're going through that slush, all that slush is going underneath. It's lifting it up likea hovercraft and you don't get stuck.  Pretty cool design and those rub rails will stop the splash from coming up and over. So yeah, 24-inch-high sides. This is a new system we just introduced this year.  We've been working months trying to source just the right materials and finally we got it. We've got custom -40 degree rated bungee; this stuff is super, super strong. We've got the metal buckles; we've got 3000 LB nylonstrapping. OK, the benefit of this is you can. You can tighten from each side. And you get equal torque because we all know that you want your sled to be flexible, to have best performance. You make everything too rigid, that's when things break. So we even hand cut these leather pads to go underneath there. We want you to pad your load. We want it to get there without damage. So we're thinking about the end user here. We onlysell what we use up here. We go on long expeditions and. This is now, this is the best system we can figure out. Here we've got 6 fuel partitions.  Each of these fuel partitions can fit 3 or 4 fuel cans. So you can fit four of the tall, skinny military ones,or you can fit. Two of the big fat 6-gallon ones and one of the tall skinny ones in between. OK, we've got 20 carabiners. These carabiners are handy for strapping things in with rope. Got another handle on the back? Reflective stickers. We've got 3 runners underneath here, 1 inch tall. These will give you the space you need to get above the gravel, so you don't gouge up your sled. Back there we got rear pulling points. Those pulling points are handy as hell. If you get stuck in overflow or in deep snow, you just hook up and pull her backwards. This sled only weighs 150 lbs, and it can haul up to 3000 lbs every day. Handcrafted and White Horse, Yukon, we ship all over the world. We custom make every sled to order. So, if you would like to order a sled, please go to www.yukonsleds.com or reach out to us on Facebook at YukonExpedition Sleds. We'd be happy to talk to you about finding the best sled option for your needs, and we look forward to selling you your last sled ever. OK, this is a sled you're going to pass. Your grandkids. So, you know, make sure you get the right one the first time because you're going to have it for a long, long, long time. Thanks for watching.
