Here is the low down. The braking, yes it does work and it will stop better than anything out there. Do I use it? No, hardly ever, but it is nice to have. Its better to gun it and swerve out of the way to avoid something, but if you don't have room to the left or right, the brake will come in handy. The previous ski I had was the suspension model. The suspension is great, but you really only feel it if you are wave jumping. A non-suspension ski handles better and feels more grounded in turns. I NEVER had a problem with suspension ever, despite everyone that doesn't own one says it will have a bunch of them. The main problem with the suspension skis is the small access hatch to the engine compartment. BRP had to do this because of the full floating deck that you sit on and put your feet on. Pretty much the only thing you can do is check the oil level, change the spark plugs, and change the oil (the oil filter is almost impossible to get out but it is possible, the area is extremely tight!) with the limited access. The non-suspension skis are much easier to work on. The access are is only problem if you are doing your own service like I do.
