So it will be eco, standard, sport mode and turbo when you need more jam I guess. The trails will be full of these things in a few seasons.

They have it in their side by sides now, but not sure if it will fit in a sled or not. I miss Don Coffeys in Cookstown.

It will weigh too much for you with all that plumbing hanging on there for only a measily 140 hp.. You better stick with a 2 stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidoo will probably crank this 900 up to 165 horsepower, heck Polaris turbo 750 was 140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to have the ability to get to where you need to be in a timely matter but really how many trails can you actually navigate at over 100. Sure on the lakes but watch out for pressure cracks. What is driving this need for massive acceleration and speed. Why does it seem so many people seem to have such fragile egos that they have to "hey everybody watch this" as they tear the crap out of the trail from a stand still. Then they have the audacity to complain about the trail condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried going from my 800 to 1200 my insurance company would give me the gears. Ended up only being $10 more a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy with a 440 that weighed a couple hundred pounds less and still had decent suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall at one time the magic number for insurance was anything over 700 some insurers weren't interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Doo ought to aim for 200+ with a turbo 4 stroke imo. Theres only one engine up there and its a runaway market share so it would be foolish to ignore, not to mention all the people watching the lake legends continually take the crown of king also wins future market share by being a legend. Think Wildact 650, dang sled saved arctic cat from oblivion and put the fear in anyone else until the 670 arrived. Thundercat again put the fear. Yami tried with the 4cyl Vmax. MachZ1000 was a legend before it even hit the snow. The 150-170 hp range is well served with a long run its time to put some space in there and lead the pack. As for that cat suspension? Thats Alouette design from wayyyyy back, nothing new although the weight reduction these days is a solid win. Wonder how it handles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated the S chassis 500, but the ZX was a big improvement (loved it after the 1st 10 miles on it). I would've loved to have tried a 440 in the ZX sled.

My dealer when I was last in just before Xmas, almost had everything sold and very little used machines (waiting list for some models like grand tourings). They said they had a good strong sales year. Early snow in mid December really helped to move inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hancop Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 ya the dealers are lucky we had snow before xmas for if we did not they would have almost everything left. They might as well open up all trails to ATV's in southern Ontario going forward as there is not really a winter here anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
