I thought rx1 was only snowmobile using it and rest of lineup had proper purpose built snow engines. My friend had an rx1 back in 2003. It was impressive in straight sways on a flat groomed trail. He was 6'2 and 250 pounds so weight never bothered him. That sled actually rode ok for it's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doo makes pretty good four strokes and most start in cold with little isssues. Don't get me wrong. The 1200 engine is impressive, but the Apex 4 banger does have the extra horses throughout and is so much smoother...sounds almost F1 like. Each time I start my Skidoo, I just watch my handlebars shake from the vibrations off the engine. It's not noticeable while riding though and the handling and suspension just destroys my Apex, Nytro and Vector in the rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I dont know anyone who owns or has owned an Apex that didnt love it. They cook too, in smooth and straights. Not perfect nor is any sled. Jackshaft and bushings seem to be the only gripes I have heard of. Yamaha is the 4 stroke market leader, no one sane disputes that and really I am surprised that Ski-Doo especially didnt work hard to address that on a performance level. Maybe the new ACE turbo will fit that slot, dunno I guess we'll see. I'm surprised we havent seen a V4 four stroke for size and torque especially that design would make sense. V65 magna, anyone?

Ha Seems like doo wants people buying etec's or 900's. 1200 has been eliminated in grand touring platform anyways. Not sure about other models.

Arctic JC Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 The new SRX is a better looking blue thundercat, same lowered stance, 1” track, and adjustable suspension. Yamaha should have released their sleds when Cat did as it’s the same stuff with better graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9000 turbo with the same shock package and a better track is worth it for 3 mph less top end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other statement was opinion about both the yamaha version and the cat version of the thundercat. They dropped the tunnel and put on a one inch ripsaw and single carbides to eek out a few more mph and make it a little different than the other turbo (same engine, same chassis,). IMO you get less sled for more money with the t cat. If you would like to discuss the ,merits of my opinion, then fine, otherwise, your response makes you the troll. seems to me you are in love with yamaha, well sorry to sday, they are done making sleds, it is over, no more R&D, no more anything new coming from them, whatever cat does is what yamaha buyers get. To be honest that is a good thing, cat has a great chassis and yamaha has a great engine. But calling these cat sleds yamahas would be like calling my cat a suzuki.
