That said, every brand has had styling misfires imo. I find the twin spar Cats laughably ugly for example... don't know how those ever got styling approval. AC twin spar, Polaris Fusion, Ski-Doo Rev Gen 1 and 4, Yamaha Phazer and Nytro. But for every one of those ugly ones the OEMs all have styling home runs as well. Twin spar was hideous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a joke of a design.....that surrounded solid handling and performance. It was like wrapping gold nuggets in shit foil. Well, maybe not gold but...you get my drift. 1 hour ago, Snake said: Sexy-ass red Cat right there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to drive to New York to get it, but saved $1,400, over $3,000 for the 2 sleds we picked up that day.

Premium Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think I read that the Mach will have a normal cable throttle due to complaints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsky Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The throttle now has a cable attached to the iTC box relocated under the hood. I have not heard if there was any remapping done to it so while it will take more effort, for those that like that sort of thing, it may still be too "sensitive" for some that cannot adapt to instant response. BRP intentionally made the throttle response instant so idiot's like the lester's could not complain about lag or lack of response. Now idiot's complain it's too sensitive when all they need to do to dial it back is run the sled in normal or eco mode so they don't get bucked off. Most of the aftermarket tune's also offer throttle remapping to dial back the response for the faint of heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early days of the 1200 was not iTC it arrived at the end days of the 1200 in 2016 but yeah, I agree there are many things that get's those guys panties in a bunch but they also have to deal with the gunt over on that site. I do realize that I got really lucky that both my 16' 1200 and 20' 900T both came with instant throttle response but only because I was able to order the limited editions with lester throttle blipping option.

If anything mine was probably a little too instantenous in the rough and twisty stuff at lower trail speeds if it was in sport mode, like 20-50 range. And it felt slow in the other two modes on faster trails so I thought it was a good idea. This was the 4th 4 stroke sled and I've lost sound of how many 4 stroke race bikes I've owned. Lesters a bit of a tool, but would love to get his hook ups lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 i found the throttle odd at slow speeds trying to move it around in a parking lot and into the back of my truck or into a trailer but once on trail the ease of the throttle was good. My coworkers bummed she cancelled her 900turboR last week but she would not ride it enough. She almost ran me over last year WOT on a regular 900T- the BCX ain't breaking 100 she was at like 113 on the dreamometer coming up on me.

For loading in the trailer or moving around inside the garage or on the driveway I use ECO mode which backs it off considerably and makes it much less prone to spinning the track.
