No. Soild jackshaft, race brakes, more bracing between the rails, 4 soild rear idlers, 2 limiter straps, and a different pitch in track. Probably forgotten something.

I love my XCR I can't imagine how nice this one will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostynuts Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Glad they won that award, in exchange for giving the magazine the most advertising dollars. Any idea how much lesser depreciation they would have if they didn,t win that award ? I,m guessing they would be worth about 40 % of the new cost after 1 years depreciation, instead of 50 % where they were before this awesome award.

My 900T was colder than my assault to ride and the assault had a smaller windshield. Front end of the G4 just doesn't feel right. Running at high speed down the trail you could feel the bars moving a bit in each hand forwards and backwards. Guys say DOO has the best fit and finish but I don't see it being better than the polaris. At higher speeds it isn't as smooth as my assault was or my 13 nytro. Headlight is fucking terrible at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is very similar to that on the xs xrs.... steering feels contact-less at high speeds and is not confidence inspiring even slightly.

Zambroski Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My buddies just went down last weekend. 2019 850, 2700 or so miles. Hell, that’s a good run for a Poo mil if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04nightfire Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Karma got a guy over on DOO talk. He's a doo guy that bought an assault last year and hated it, tore it to pieces on line and sold it. Well guess what went down on the weekend. His 850 backcountry with 3600 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlight is fucking terrible at night very common compliant with the G4 and Doo alike. It doesn't take long to figure out a Doo is coming up the trail toward you, the front light is darting around like crazy. Doo really needs to rethink the front end. R Motion is nice fore sure.
