revrnd Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Could any owners comment on the sound/noise levels compared to other sleds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Feces Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Not an owner, but I rode one when they first came out. It’s almost like it has an electric motor. So quiet the track noise seems loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbocat Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I have one for my wife and it is very quiet compared to my viper. You can hear the ski's on the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volunteer2 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Have one too Quiet for sure, but engine noise is very different and kinda hard to describe. Has a different tone, maybe since it's a twin, but a totally different sound than the 900 Ace and maybe a bit louder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My riding partner has a 2011 600 ace and his 900. the 900 is quieter for sure. The 600 is thump, thump, thumpier like something is missing - might be the third cylinder that smooths out the note.

volunteer2 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yup definitely a thumpy sound Great description Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Bought my wife a ‘17 this season. Spent hours trying to establish if it was running/sounding as intended. Finally gave in and decided that it runs and sounds just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks guys. We heard a utility sled w/ the 600 ACE up @ Barrys Bay last week & it sounded awful (blown out muffler?) Then last night checking Youtube the 1st video. I checked sounded just as bad. I was under the impression that the motor was quiet. A friend is shopping for a sled & I had mentioned the motor for her needs. I was afraid that I was steering her towards something she wouldnt like. Her previous sled was a MXZ583.

mike37 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I have a 14 runs quiet track and ski sounds only great on fuel works good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreyboater Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 My wife's sled and she is very happy with it quiet and easy to handle it. My opinion it's good choice for women or beginners, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Very similar to the 900 ace. Not quite as smooth but still very quiet. You can talk to another rider at a trailside stop without shutting it off. Great trail motor. Torquey. Just not a lake runner. Top out at 60 mph. I would recommend them.

volunteer2 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Ours gets to 60 quick enough and it will see 70 in regular conditions. Not noisey. Just the thumping sound. Also we have a 12 so still the old throttle. Torquee for sure. Pulls instantly so with the new throttle with eco mode would be more gentle. Just thinking the settings may be comparable to the 900.

I don't think I will buy your sled, but am curious why you would part with that sled. I love my 900 but wish I had bought a Renegade. I like the idea of a XS chassis and 40 liter tank vs the Gen4 36 liter tank and colder ride. Maybe I should by your sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been extremely happy with the 900 NA Renegade XS but I occasionally think about trading in for a G4 900T Renegade X instead of upgrading track/skis/shocks on my XS.

cornbinder Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 eng barely heard over track noise unless wide open but sounds like a atv coming through the woods at you can not hear the engine running if there is a two stoke within a million miles. 550 fan two stroke is very noise compared to either ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
