Yeah you'll want a 2022 to get the new suspensions. 130 hp is interesting, but I still come back to the NA motor has been great for me. 20 lbs lighter, runs on 87 octane vs 91 and its proven. Skidoo 4 strokes have had a very good reliability record. I do question whether the 130 hp turbo will be as reliable when it doesn't come with a cooler though. Time will tell I guess. The smart shoxs look neat (not coming in an Enduro). That said I really have to wonder how long you go without an issue. That's a lot of sensors and wires in exposed places to get screwed up.

My thoughts have mirrored your post. Why cant they get 130 Hp. out of a naturally Aspirated engine? Totally agree about wiring and sensors in problematic areas. My 2007 Yamaha had a relatively heavy looking cable going from the ssuspension shock to the side of the tunnel. I gave up on replacing it as it would not last much more than a season without breaking off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping. Anyone heard when the Polaris lineup will be released? March 1st is the Polaris 2022 Release Date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular 900 is more then adequate. In sport mode it is a pretty fast sled. I get dealer to put on DuPont slides though if you can swing a free labour deal, when you buy sled. Seems to be way less friction with them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 A 130 is turbo'ed? And yet the same motor is in the M Zed @ 180? Good grief, what is it N/A? That must be a LOT of boost ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Great looking sled! Launch control with no traction control? That aint launch control thats a stutter box. Take a GTR for a spin, thats launch control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard lots of chatter about a 4 stroke and couple models the masses are dying to see if they will release one.

I finally did last year and I other than the twitchy handling feeling the one I was riding had, I was shocked how good it felt otherwise. The throttle and engine took a bit to adjust too as well, but nothing crazy. We were in QC, but the area we rode that day had a mixture of trails, some wide open and some tighter trails through the bush. The added weight up front I really do not recall being a factor at all.....maybe it contributed to the twitchiness running down a straight trail, but I hear that was a common issue that has all but been resolved for 2021. Sled was a 900T Renegade - base rental model. Edited February 18, 2021 by stoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode the D102B on sunday from 51to around to the D103B just above Baysville. Holy crap. I hit one bump that sounded like it tore off the bottom of my sled. No way could you do a heavier in the front 4 stroke and be happy. Im sure in Quebec or up north they are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D102B minefield......sections of that trail can be real bad at times! Last few weekends I have seen a lot of 900T in and around Dorset.

Blake G Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I don't know what you guys are on about. The front end of a four stroke is light as a feather. If anybody says snowmobiling is not exercise, tell them they should have followed me around today. I got stuck twice, once before lunch and once after.

But gitt'n it back DOWN the hill is a whole nother issue! I think that I can find a pic of a hill that he took all the snow off of in The Badlands. (Wawa) OK, I guess it didn't all slide down like I thought, just where he spit polished the rock I guess... Big pile'o snow at the bottom now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Tim Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 23k for a sled....seriously? I thought 17-18k was getting a bit stupid. I guess the supply and demand curve is on the side of the OEM's, I could never spend that on a 2-3 month a year hobby as much as I love riding 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the supply and demand curve is on the side of the OEM's, I could never spend that on a 2-3 month a year hobby as much as I love riding There are other options though, people do not need to buy the premium sled....looks like a basic MXZ is around 10K. But at 20K, the price tag for most is likely a bit of a shocker and if you are going to spend that kind of coin, I hope you have that kind of coin in the bank......could you imagine financing that...... I am pretty sure I am going to pull the trigger on one, I am long overdue, but I do still like my current sled for most things & has served me very well, but I want to take my kids with me on some rides now that I think they are old enough, current sled is not ideal for that & all honesty, I just need a new sled, so time to shop.
