It was quite impressive for what I was told is a 95 hp. sled. Your right newer 900 ace is 95 ,was 90 when first came out .I have 1200 motor ,love the smooth 130 hp .Good enough for how i drive now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 The S4 I drove, the guy said he could only get it to 121km/hr. I maxed it out at 131 through a field lol. Gave him a new target to beat on his screen! It took a while to get there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indy is louder, slower and burns 30%+ more fuel than the 900ace. He isn't exactly happy about it. I've heard its heavy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95rxl650 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 We need a Yamidoo. My wife had an old Apex and I had a Yamicat zr7000. I was happy with the power of both and they sounded like muscle. I enjoy the creature comforts of new tech, but an old tripple/tripple still puts the biggest grin on my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could get one in gt still. Skidoo is slowly becoming next Yamaha 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To our benefit, last winter created a surplus of new non currents at huge discounts. Although it would be nice to buy a '26 Assault Boost what's wrong with a '24 SB XC 850 for half the price (yes, $14k) Its exactly the same as the assault except for the 7s (optional) and the shock pkg? Silver lining fellas! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggz Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 23 hours ago, Sledguy74 said: your right i didn't communicate that clearly No worries! The XCR already has the best rear skid in the biz and they found a way to make it better w/o the need for an active suspension. The long tail torsion spring will be a mod i'm performing this summer which means my '23 will become a '26 850 unicorn..😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That S4 is a big girl with no power. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Ya, the Doo is pretty well balanced and to me doesn’t feel overly heavy. add a power adder and it feels even more lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, that’s what I forgot to mention. The S4 is the heaviest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. I was thinking of ordering a new renie enduro with etec 600r engine. I really miss power and lightness from etec and don't have to worry about oil changes. Priced one out it was just below 20 k plus frieght and pdi which put it at about 20500 ish dollars. Wonder if dealer will negotiate abit ? Would love to try 130 hp four stroke but worried it's not as much power as etec and don't really want weight again. That etec grand touring I had before. It railed compared to 4 strokes 900 I have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had etec and 900 in grand touring. It was so nice to get on etec for a few hours. The handling change was noticeable and riding thru powder etec was less work. Can't get a new etec in gt no more, which is disappointing. Both engines seem to be very reliable. I have seen etecs with close to 20k on them too.

Strong Farmer Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Ok for you guys buying new, can you get anything knocked off website price, if you have no trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
