Already been asked if I'm interested in a '20 Demo. I'm not sure what Doo is/was thinking on the MXZ colors this year. They've always been some form of Yellow or Y/B. Conversely the Renegades color scheme is now an MXZ color scheme... hmmm.. writing on the wall maybe? Also after seeing the Freerides Gray/Red combo the only thing I could think of was an Alliance Ship from the Rebel fleet in SWs..

signfan Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 This new gauge package does look interesting. Connects to your phone through an app so it can run navigation. I think they are onto something. Will be interesting to see how it works with the ITG and imotoneige apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to offer it, make sure it's available from 600-1200cc machines. I tried build & price on both the MXZ/Renegade 600cc fronts and it wasn't an option. Switch over to an 850, boom it becomes available.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it maybe due in part to Doo's marketing tactics and just pushing riders into that CC class as typically it receives the "new tech" before 600's. A bit of banter on DT about the MXZ/Renegade models once you float past the color and guage complaints. Personally I'd like to see the MXZ line upgraded to 137" reflect their current Race Sleds, a standard pull start, more adjustable suspension and the traditional Y&B color of the MXZ line. Yes, I get you can go to a Gade XRS and essentially have all of that (minus the 600R powerplant)... But.. I Doo think BRP is neglecting the model line that really got the momentum moving forward for them and all the sub-models that helped (Blizzard/TNT). As an aside... Poo's site is down currently, maybe a precursor to their 2021 releases ? Edited February 16, 2020 by MXZSlider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Picked up the 2021 brochure today. Any ideas why the SHOT system hasn't spread across the line up? If it's so wonderful you'd think that they would want it on more sleds. As for their targeting the steep & deep crowd here are the locales their ambassadors hail from British Columbia Colorado Newfoundland & Labrador Wyoming Alberta Quebec British Columbia British Columbia Alaska Idaho Idaho Wisconsin Michigan A pic to keep us grumpy old flatlanders happy LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s anything like my 06 Switchback, you’re pretty much just removing the “bumper” by trying to lift the machine with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With shot first start of the day is still a hand pull. Trail riders will carry the extra 5 lbs with them to never have to pull start. Also shot only works on 2 strokes. Still a great product for the mountain market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Got this email earlier this evening: Web version Dear Kris, When I became President and CEO 17 years ago, I knew that some days would be more challenging than others. I have observed that the success of our company, even during the more difficult times, has always relied on two things: Being able to provide exceptional adventures to our riders around the world Having a great team who makes this happen Today, this is one of those times where BRP’s values of passion and drive will help us get through the current challenges together and continue to deliver great experiences to all of you. For those of you who have been directly affected by these unprecedented events and the many communities who are dealing with it or in recovery mode, our thoughts are with you. We are monitoring the situation constantly as it evolves and focusing our efforts to ensure the health and safety of our customers, employees, partners and communities in which we operate across the globe. Providing the BRP experience In addition, we are prioritizing our deliveries to make sure you can hit the road, the lake or the trails as soon as you can. We have been working in close collaboration with our dealer network around the globe to make sure they continue the service you expect and deserve. Rest assured we are in close coordination with our dealers who are up to date on the latest plans as they evolve, all the way down to sharing best business practices for hygiene and keeping their daily operations aligned with their communities’ guidance. Your local dealer remains your go-to source for assistance and information, but before you pay them a visit, it’s best to contact them beforehand and check out their website, as their business hours or services may have changed temporarily. Delivering on our promise We’ve put measures in place to deliver your unit on time and as ordered. Everyone at BRP is dedicated to reducing the potential impact this situation might have on you: we are proud to have earned your business and want you to have all the riding days you have been looking forward to. If and when we do encounter challenges, such as delays, we will let you know right away and try to lessen the inconvenience for you. As powersports fans, we want you to continue enjoying the great outdoors: the silver lining in the current situation is that you can go riding while still respecting social distancing and benefit from some fresh air without compromising anyone’s safety. This is what we like to call ‘powersports therapy’ and we highly encourage it. To each and every one of you, we wish you and your family all the best and stay safe. José Boisjoli President and CEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and there will be a mid season addition with it on smaller machines in a few models. Just like how they rolled out rmotion over a few sesson’s too. Must be lots of inventory of smaller machines so doo wants dealers to clear those. Edited March 21, 2020 by Strong Farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of units that don't work well, if at all out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pussy Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 58 minutes ago, Ox said: Seems that it is mostly bad caps, but ??? The energy that needs to be stored to start an engine is enormous. The only way to store that with caps is with electrolytic capacitors. In order to keep that charge, they need to be very low leakage or the charge will just dissipate through the internal resistance. And because electrolytic capacitors use a moist borax impregnated paper insulator between the spiral wrapped foil, they don't like the cold or being hot. I am amazed it works at all.
