f7ben Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 What people are missing about this new Axys chassis sled is its overwhelming response to body english and positioning. If you sit back on the seat just 6" the sled will lift the skis at will .....if you sit forward on the sled it is impossible to lift a ski. This is the single biggest advance in sled technology since rider forward and people who havent ridden one are missing out. The axys chassis may be as large of an advance as the rev chassis was. Its that good. The ergos on this sled are second to none .....the ease of movement on the sled etc etc. Its better than anything I have ridden. Now I have not ridden the new G4 but I sat on it and while its good its not Axys good. The cat and yamaha are miles behind here. Also the r-motion is a great trail suspension but it does not offer the same transfer and response to body positioning the the Axys does.

Didn't doo have a 617 already? Cat went to 700 in 91 and doo to 670 in 92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh huh ....thats why I have sold many sleds I was unhappy with after just a few rides. I spend too much money on this sport to have something I am unhappy with and I can ride whatever sled I want without limitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see what that rear suspension feels like dialed in better. Just riding yours for what 15-20 minutes I felt like I could ride it faster than mine thru the trails. the handling is unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just riding yours for what 15-20 minutes I felt like I could ride it faster than mine thru the trails. the handling is unreal. I think its a bit frustrating because the small changes make such big differences in handling and this chassis needs to be dialed in for every rider and their weight style etc. I have made more changes on this sled than most others but I am prone to tinkering either way. Now that its pretty dialed for me I can say I am thrilled. I will still send all 4 shocks to Goodwin or Hygear and have them recommend and better setup for my weight and style of riding but as it sits now I would not trade this sled for any other one on the market and that includes a new 850. Also the fact that Polaris whores these things out sweetens the deal that much more ....fuck skidoo and their 13k price tags I've spent so much time on xp skidoo's that getting on your sled was like putting on an old pair of jeans and the r-motion is the best rear skid out .....but the ergos and handling of the new poo set up apart Edited January 24, 2017 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is i heard he isnt all that crazy about it, he likes the Polaris better. But then again, that was coming from Pierre who is the biggest Arctic Cat hack who ever lived so he wont miss a chance to dog skidoo. especially since Sean went from Cat to doo last year and is now on an 850...

I'm sure the 850 is good. But you have to wait a bit and get the real ride reports from all the guys who arent dyed in the wool doo faggots who live and breath everything that comes out of the fag shop in ValCourte Quebecoius Edited January 24, 2017 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know of any production snowmobile offered to the public that came with direct fuel injection prior to the etec. Or even semi direct injection.
