signfan Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Anyone on here own one of these? Just wondering how people are finding this new motor. Would be really interested to hear from someone who has one that was a past 900 ace owner on how the two compare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking to see and demo one, Call Mike at Rickward's, I was just talking with him and they have one in stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got the full Matrix chassis and the smaller 2 stroke will give you similar acceleration (less top end) than the big bores.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 That's awesome that yours arrived on time. I shouldn't poke fun. I swore off theĀ 2 strokes.Ā will never own one again. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Iām definitely interested in the S4. When Polaris puts a turbo on it, thatās probably when Iāll trade the viper. 90hp just isnāt enough for me, Iād be happy with 130-140hp turbo 4 stroke though. š My wife and I went to rickwards last year and demoed some 650s, in short, amazing sleds! Still getting the wife one when the time comes as theyāre super light and more than enough power. If the S4 handles anything like the 650, Iām sold on it. We backed out of our SP 650 order this year from rickwards unfortunately. Kinda regretting it, but kinda glad we did because itās going to be a very short season! Iām a die hard Yamaha guy, but I can say confidently that that matrix chassis is very very good! Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04nightfire Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I believe snowtrax is doing a walkaround on the S4 this week or next.Ā I'm in the same boat.Ā Once a turbo goes on that motor, I will be really interested in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volunteer2 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I had the na900 for 2 sleds. The 2021 Renne with 5 more HP and pdive was way better than the 2015.Ā Friday we find out how the 130 HP is.Ā Ā I would imagine Polaris motors are going to be similar to BRPĀ Ā Turbo will be really nice so hopefully Polaris gets it soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 How do you like that setup in comparison to the na 900 ace? Is it much louder?Ā Much worse on fuel?Ā 120 - 130 hp does seem to be a good hp. Not sure why more aren't buying that version and instead are paying for the 180 hp version.

tricky Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 So, I know that most of you are more high performance sledders, but has no one ridden the Poo 4s yet? Hard to believe that they are that scarce. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Definitely needs a turbo and shock options. Iām not sure about that throttle though. I personally think a cable style would be more reliable?? š¤·š¼āāļø Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
