I wouldnt offer more than $9500 for that skeedoo. They didnt even make their last in class front end worth a shit until next year, if you want to buy the best handling used sled get a Polaris axys.

So you think the handling of the G4 XRS is bad but you drive a 144" assault which is a 50/50 crossover?

Big waste of $.   Once you get the rear skid dailed in, you aren't touching them. 

Yup, and adds unnecessary weight and takes away room on the running boards.

You got a xrs for 16 clicks of adjustment and you never touch them?  

I got mine for ride quality. I hate spending time adjusting a suspension on the trail.

What did you ride? 

 

Your pics aren't showing up for me @smokin georgegeorge

Another 900T XRS. Same sled as mine only with the goofy running board adjusters.

Couple pictures from riding around Quebec last couple of days.

Also had a chance to ride a 900 turbo....nice addictive power curve but man does this sled have some serious handling querks, granted it was a cheaper trim level and could use some tweaks that I'm sure would help.

Mine is by far the best handling sled I've ever ridden. But I rode a dealer demo yesterday and the darting was horrendous. I'm guessing the stock carbides & skis and people fucking with the suspension settings had something to do with it.

I've been hearing that my whole life. They said Obama was going to ban guns. Obama sold more guns than anyone in history. The biggest threats to 2a are Republicans. 

I can't tell if you 2 are just trolling, or are really just dumb as a box of rocks. Wow.  

Those Elites bring crazy $$$. Seems like whenever I see one for sale it's $20k+.

What a clown show. Butt guy is clearly the most likeable guy and I think stands the best chance to beat trump yet it looks like the libs still want the socialist NYC Jew who hates rich people.

Call Ian and ask him what a set of Elka's for a Renegade will run you. You're in for a shock, no pun intended

The thing with the X shocks now is no one wants them for an Adrenaline or TNT anymore because they're nothing special anymore. Everyone with an Adrenaline or TNT is going to upgrade with XRS KYBs, Fox , Exits or Elka's. 

I can’t believe how much better my new XRS rides than my 2016 X. I mean I’m sure having 12,000 miles on at the end affected the ride but man, the XRS is amazing. It used to be a poser sled but now it’s great even for non-aggressive riders.

But again, this is all about Ski-Jew trying to make more $ off of you by forcing you to get the premium sled. Fuck them. I really wish Polaris would make a sled for me.

I don’t know the first thing about the IR, but I’ve heard it’s a good track by guys who know what they’re talking about. I planned on ordering the 1.5”. What’s wrong with it?

I’m happy with my 1.5” IR so far. I’ve had studded sleds since I started riding almost  20 years ago. Never thought I’d change. But it was cheaper and I figured my luck was running out with studs. I’m now a little more careful in corners, hills, and I make sure to get a good start loading onto trailers.  

Avoid the ice cobra though. Lots of guys are having cobras fall apart lately. Plus that has less studs in it. The IR is just enough.

Impossible! All I’ve been told is that people from other countries laugh at us because of Trump.  

So childish  

Seems like just hype to me. I remember when Doo revised their front suspension the last time (was it called RAS-II?) and honestly I couldn’t tell you the difference if you blindfolded me. We’ll see though. I’ll probably go to the 2021 demos here next week.

Yep what i thought. As long as there is snow it's fun riding in warm weather. Warmest I've ridden in is 51f. 

My favorite time to ride is in March when it’s in the 40’s and sunny. Ridin in a sweatshirt and with my shield up listening to the motor. 

Had some incredible riding this week in northern nh. Looks like it was peak though as the long range shows some 40’s for the next few weeks.

For the price, nothing even comes close to chuck eye.

do you agree its a mistake for doo for not offering 900T in MXZ XRS 129" ?  I think it is. plus did you noticed it when you select 600R on MXZ XRS the options fade out but as soon as you pick 850 the options come back, stupid if you ask me. its like Ford graying out options on 5.0L unless you go with 3.5 EB which you won't see that shit. 

Agreed. I think it’s all about Ski-Jew forcing you to buy the top of the line model or motor so they make the most money they can. I’m pretty sure the new gauge/gps is only available on the 850. What kills me is besides the 4 strokes not being available in a 129, you still can’t get a 900 Ace with decent quality shocks or gauges because there’s no X package. I could go on and on, but Doo is becoming an extra greedy company and I wish Polaris would come out with a motor I want.

Gold is gay, grey looks nice.

Clueless citiot.

Doos are the number one sled sold, disregard all of the problems they have. Stay focused on the positive thing.

They gotta be doing something right, don’t ya think?  I hate the company, but my last 3 sleds have been Doos because they make what I think is the most reliable sled and have some great dealers, at least here in the northeast.

Pro-line, Nitro, or blizzard.

Feel free to go drop 17,000 on a new Skee Doo if that’s the case! 

I dropped $15k on one last fall plus another $1k or so in accessories so I’m good for a few years.  It is def getting out of hand.

They better start paying attention in Quebec. Polaris is going to gain even more customers this Spring. They keep not listening to what people want, Polaris is going to take over the #1 spot. 

I don’t think it’s possible for Polaris to overtake Doo unless they come out with a 4 stroke or two. But if they do and it’s halfway decent, poo would def jump to #1.

I’m a doo guy but they make it so hard to buy one 

Come on now To buy a brand new Cat, you pretty much have to piss green. No brand neutral person is going to choose a decade old tech and still unreliable Cat over a poo or doo.

2020 8fiddy, 4 year warranty,2200 miles.$9900. It’s spotless.

Nice sled, but the motor’s already over half it’s life expectancy.  

I think the release sucks...yes they did some stuff...just nothing I want. The rmotion and new gauges were already great, and nav from the factory is stupid.

I think they need a customization program like Polaris for spring order sleds...especially colors and track choices. And they need to shave some weight off the trail sleds. -5 lbs is not enough.
