That really sucks! I use trackmap on my Garmin all the time. Pretty accurate and not too many glitches. Sad to see I can't update it anymore

How far north? Can I unloaded at the STP yard? Or need to be further north? Forecast is rain Friday for Sudbury. If that changes its definitely a contender.
I was looking at the eco centre if going to Elk Lake. Is it decent?
STP yard that where we are started

Any road running on that run? Looking at this weekend and debating what to do. Was thinking Kirkland Lake, but hotels are filled with kids sport teams. Maybe Elk Lake. Didn't know if Sudbury would be too far south to start.
Small section left and right from Gowganda but nothing major

Solo closer trip. You enjoy going by yourself?
I prefer ride with my team, but it falls in a parts this time so solo its it's some kind of compensation.

After long discussion our group decided to cancel our 7 days North corridor trip this year. Too much going on around.....
Hopefully next year everything back to normal.
I'm planning to do my solo closer trip this weekend Sudbury-Gowganda-Temagami-Sudbury and put my sled in storage.

Which is more fun, GM or Ford? All trails up there, in the last 20 years have always been a pleasure to ride. The loops north of Hearst are always very nice.
The loops south of Kap are always great.
Comes down to how far you wish to go in a given day. Even riding the same trail in the opposite direction is still enjoyable.
Good luck
Amazing, Thanks. Will ride any available spot, we have 7 days to do that 😍

Wow! Thats going to screw planned rides for a lot of people.
We have booked for big loop on March 12th for 8 days. Yesterday night I spend almost 2 hours to deture and rebook all hotels. It is what it is
Sad to see when business cant keep running and no any options to solve it
It's great to have some emergency funds in OFSC to help in that case

Regarding the windshield, I agree and think the medium windshield would be a really good investment for northern tour riding (or bigger if you are prone to being cold) - I have the factory one and although I never felt really cold, you can definitely feel the coldness hitting your chest causing a chill, at least for me I did, usually later in the day after riding for a few hours.
I will likely invest in one next year.
I cannot say enough about muffs, must have on any tour riding or cold days - keeps your hands toasty warm in all conditions and allows you to wear real thin gloves preventing finger fatigue. The Doo ones fit the sled as though it is a factory part too.
I used a lot different gloves, muffs and thin gloves provide comfort and good control.

I have a 2022 Mach Z 900 Turbo R. I also had a 2022 Renegade XRS 900 Turbo R. I just recently sold the 2022 XRS 900 Turbo R. I absolutely hands down LOVE the Mach Z. We are picking up @Mrs Turbo Doo 2022 Renegade Enduro 900 Turbo R Friday. I can honestly say the Mach Z with the Smart Shox is the best sled Doo has built to date. Unlike others, I have consistently seen 8000rpm and over pulls on both sleds. I enjoyed the XRS, but imo the Mach pulls exceptionally harder. The Launch Control is what wet dreams are made of. As to @oldslowsledder issues with the surging, it's all do to the clutching ramps in the Mach Z. The Adrenaline, Enduro, XRS and X, all share the 880 ramps. Which make engagement super smooth. The Mach Z has 897 ramps that have been developed to work in conjunction with the launch Control. There's no issues with the Mach. You need to understand the Mach was developed to be a Jack Rabbit, sort to speak. If you want your Mach Z to ride without the engagement jerkiness, you need to do some clutch work. Switching the ramps over to the 880 ramps, and possibly a secondary spring. I have not run the Mach Z up north yet, that will change next week, but I'll do a more in depth report on the Mach. I had the '22 XRS in the NCDN back early January, and it was just awesome. OC Member @Evil may chime in here about their 900 Turbo R's, but from what ive seen, their's are very very strong running turbos. Especially the speeds ive seen, both dreamometer and GPS speeds. @andreyboater just be aware, the Mach sits lower then all the other 900 Turbo R's (ride height). It's comes down to what you want. Knowing the differences between the sleds helps. Feel free to ask any questions you have, I'm sure myself and other 900 Turbo R owners here can help out...
That's awesome great feedback. A couple questions, how is a wind protection for a cold days and long run, is it worth to put Adjustable windshield, remove hand guards and put muffs? Also I heard suspension lower 1.5" is it make any difference or unconvenience for long dag ride? Thanks

Have 200 kilometers on mine now, here's my take...
Engine is smooth, has lots of power but haven't raced anything yet. I have an 850 Renegade but haven't lined them up yet but will.
Performance does drop off at higher speeds and mine, like many others are saying does not tach out, 7600rpm is tops.
Gas consumption seems decent
Smart shocks are excellent, sled rides great and handles the Parry Sound trails very well, corners very flat. Steering is most definitely
heavier than my 850. Some say SnowTrackers will cure this
Gauge is neat, has lots of features I haven't figured out yet
Launch control is a hoot.....better hang on.
My biggest beef, and may be a deal breaker for me if there is no cure is that the sled Surges/Jerks at slow speeds, doesn't matter if you
are in Sport or Eco mode, does it in both. Leaving and returning to my property (slight grade) it's really bad, gas station, road crossing etc..
Again I read others on Dootalk with same complaint but idiot's there tell me it's not meant to be driven slow.....stupidest thing I have ever heard.
I submitted two video's of this surge to dealer when I first got sled but they claimed they'd never heard of this....yet.
If you ride fast Northern trails exclusively this may not be an issue, or hopefully your sled won't be as bad
Thanks a lot for your feedback. 👍

I dont own one but 2 friends of mine have 900Rs 1 Mach, 1 X package. They both are quite happy with the sled but both of them were expecting more performance wise. A properly set up BRP 850 will show the 900 its tail lights and a new 850 Polaris will dust both of them.
1 is keeping his for another season, the other is going back to an 850.
I am going away next week with the guy with the X. I told him I would like to try it for at least 50kms. I am sure it will be awesome on the big northern Ontario trails.
Thanks for feedback, I'm not a racer, we ride a North trails with long day and many miles. So I'm looking for enjoyable, fast responding and advanced suspension sled. Now I ride and to upgrade my 2017 Grand touring se 1200.

Looks like a good time!! I’m heading up to Sudbury Thursday Morning and then riding to Dunlop lake lodge but not so sure how that’s going to work out with all this rain there calling for Wednesday. I have a loop planned going from Sudbury to Elliot lake, to Wawa, to Hearst, to Cochrane, to Kirkland Lake, to North Bay and back to Sudbury. I’m really hoping they are wrong with the weather forecast since it’s kind of too late to cancel and rebook rooms!
We are going on March 12th for 8 days loop. Starting from Sudbury to Elliot lake, Sault Ste Marie, Wawa, Herst, Cochrane, Atibity, Gogama and back to Sudbury. Hopefully the mother of Nature will be on our side.
