He previously had an 850 doo, and found that twitchy at high speeds, and got rid of it after owning it for only 2 weeks. They were kinda scarce, so he sold it for more than he paid for it. He said it has some punch down low, but lacks power once you get to around 70 mph, and squeeze it, you,re kinda waiting for something to happen, and it ain,t happening. The Sidewinder has it all, from trail speeds, to top end, and all the way thru, no matter when you squeeze it, it,s there, and happy to give you all the power you may want. Too much, is never enough. I cann,t imagine going to a lower powered sled, and from what I see on Totally Yamaha, very few guys that own Sidewinders or Thundercats say the same thing. Kinda like the good kinda crack, once you,ve had it, hard to give it up. The chassis is dated and lacking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't want the trades. You should probly look into the Linq snowshoes along with the whiteout tech adaptor plates to put them on Polaris .

At first I thought this was just funny...and still do but, they probably do make Linq snowshoes. They fit next to those fucking adjustable carbide knobs.

Mark, please… are you serious? How can you pick the new, unproven, underpowered-in-comparison Doo Turbo as the best trail 4-stroke in the presence of 180 claimed, 200 actual, horsepower from the Yamaha SRX and the Cat Limited iACT? This choice only underscores your ineptitude (I think that's a real word) when it comes to making these critical kinds of choices. Both the Yamaha and Cat are proven entities and now offer an incredible uptick: Rider adjustable, electronically-controlled suspension! Mark, this is real advancement in our industry. Not just ultimate power, but now, ultimate power combined with ultimate ride. These two turbos are the fulfillment of every trail rider’s dream. Simply stated: it doesn't get any better than this. You need to take your eyes of the glitter of a new sled and look at the real steak of this business. Fastest still rules. You can run these two sleds down the lake a hundred times and still not know which one is fastest. The 150-hp Ski-Doo Enduro? Check your rear-view mirror; it's that little dot in the bottom corner.

That has to put so much stress on the chassis and components. My last Turbo was 190 hp, the torque works you out. On 2/24/2019 at 10:19 AM, Anler said: That poo axys is strong as fuck and light. It's so simple it's brilliant. I put a can and a lithium battery on mine and took 22lbs off the front end. It's so easy to pick up now it's crazy. You should put that stock can back on for Canada, it's not only a fine for a non OEM can they will also have you park your sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d add it’s really refined, and the price point is several grand cheaper. I hope Yamahas influence is helping to build more durable longer lasting sleds, because up to my 12 cat turbo, they did not stay together very well at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
