Just surfing a Barrie dealer, they have 2 Ski Doo 850 Turbo's, 3-4000 km range for 15,999.00. Wow, 2 years old and basically 50% of new. Brutal depreciation, guess no one wants to chance a used Turbo.

No, either it's a quality issue or the sled was put away wet and salty

Bought a 2024 600efi Sport Expedition, ride it through the marches, swamps and across the ice. Have been stuck a few times but it easily climbed out and got me home. Last weekend I was part of a club event where we rode an hour up to the Magnetawan to strip the decking off a rotten bridge, towing a trailer. Had no problem keeping up on the trails. My opinion, great sled and the Sport model is a bargain for what I use it for

My guess is for the longer, wider track, great for the bush

Well after a US Customs debacle the parts finally arrived Friday. Midwest Mini were good enough to keep me informed and had no idea what the heck was going on. Apparently they had a half dozen shipment's returned, rebranded the label and changed carriers. Anyways, here's my take. Ended up ordering the deluxe kit which included a rear shock assembly, clutch, chain, gear's and improved tensioner. Also came with an adjustable main jet for carb. I installed everything except the cable operated adjustable main jet. Clutch cured the original bogginess off the line and the sled accelerates and runs amazing, excellent upgrade. I see no need for messing with carb so leaving it alone. In retrospect I would skip the most expensive part, the shock upgrade, really feel there is little benefit unless he was to be doing some sort of 'kiddy snowcross races'. The permanent smile yesterday mad it all worth while

You can thank me, despite volunteering for the local club this was the first time in decades I didn't buy an early pass . Coughed up my $600 last week

Totally agree on the Ice Ripper track, great for lower hp or trail only, in my opinion. Am I the only one that misses large Analog gauges? Half the crap on the digital display I can't read while in motion, perhaps old eyes lol!

Curious, which doo did you buy? Wondering which front end it has.

Totally agree, but see my comments in 'Rant of the Day'

Yep, the way they grow next year he could be too big for this one, time will tell. This is a pic from 2021, little guy on the 340 that's waiting for him. Son got it with purchase of cottage, it is as close to mint as you can find.

We actually have a 250 Bravo and a 340 AC, but at 6 years old this sled fits him perfect now and he can pilot it like a snow crosser through the trees and out onto the lake. The Bravo handles like, well a Bravo, he tried it and didn't like. The 340 is still a bit too big for him, next year perhaps.

This is year 2 for the kit, and in fairness it has a ton of hours on it. Grandson lives down the road so he sleds home (with dad of course) so I didn't have it here to keep an eye on things. Quite possible it's something that could have been avoided, live and learn.

Got it from Midwest Mini, located in Florida lol. First kit was quite reasonable, but with the fallen dollar this one is a bit of an 'ouchy' lol. Home

Yes. Last time I ordered basic improvement kit, Governor spring, chain and gears. Worked great for speed but little sled was boggy off the start, especially in powder or slush. I'm sure that had something to do with failure. This time I've got a clutch coming as well, should help with that issue. It's going to get a rear shock kit as grandson can bounce it all over the place lol.

Just thought I'd throw this one in here for anyone who has a 'performance kit' in their '120'. They use an aluminum driven gear and a thinner chain, work great but ours ended up with a thrown chain and destroyed gear. My bad for not keeping a closer eye on it, has an automatic chain tensioner but the internet wizards are saying the factory tensioning spring is too light. Not difficult to repair, but waiting for parts is breaking my Grandsons heart lol!

Thanks Kris for posting this, never met him but feel a bond with all of the sledders on this site. Just another reminder to get out and enjoy life, it's short and clock is ticking for all of us. RIP, cancer is brutal.

Just checked out their website, sitting on a lot of Non-Currents but offering smoking deals

Wow, smokin deal, congrats! Look forward to your honest reviews, Supertrax is all over the Polaris's now, nothing but good things to say

Congratulations, hard to sell in this market

Personally would get rid of sled, but that's just me. Glad to hear you're okay, except for your pride I suspect. Ride Marches and Swamps all the time and know how fast it can happen

Congratulations, sad the way the market is. That was a nice machine, someone got a heck of a deal

Never much for trailering, but ended up being spoiled riding from home. Always had snow, good trails and I missed so many opportunities thinking "I'll do it later'. But as the years pass these opportunities no longer exist.

Getting dumped on all day. Parry Sound and 1/2 hour north

Honestly don't know, thought Arctic Cat was building them with Polaris Colors Excellent, the next step for Grandson

I would assume this shuts down the only manufacturer of 120 and 200 kid sleds
