jtssrx Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Okay anyone who claims you can’t feel the weight difference between a four stroke and one of these two strokes be it a skidoo or a polaris is just a fucking idiot. i road an identical area tonight that I road my SRX and there are some huge wash outs that the SRX took but you felt them. Went through them on the DOO today I didn’t even notice them Edited January 29, 2019 by jtssrx 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildboer Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 If you think that's a big difference you should see how much more nimble @Zambroski says a 600r is compared to an 850!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Since cat’s first slide rail suspension in the “60”s, snowmobiles have been claiming not to feel the bumps on their new sleds. Some things never change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rump-rider Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The dopes that claim they can’t feel a difference are only riding super smooth and straight highway trails like in Quebec. I accept the fact the 4’s feel heavier and embrace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked at how much better it took thoses areas compared to the Cat skid in the SRX. That skid bottomed and was harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 29, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Ski Doo suspension all around is tough to beat from ride to handling. Steers a bit firmer than the Cat or Poo but ride quality takes a back seat to nobody. Edited January 29, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new suspension in the Indy XC is pretty much identical to an rmotion so Im guessing it is just as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidoo has some nicer features but if you look at the snowtrax snowmobile of the year for the last 3 years 2016 - Pro S. 2017 - tie between switchback assault and mxz850 and 2018 - XCR 800. In the latest competition last week they compared the 137" sleds and the xcr switchback won that pretty handily over the xrs renegade and cat RR 137". And Ben says the Lesters are a bunch of Ski doo ball lickers so that should tell you something.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted January 29, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 29, 2019 The Axys chassis is probably the best. But the Ski Doo clutching and 850 is more reliable. I’ll take reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
