But the yammi cat is 4 grand less . So really pound for pound you get more sled for the money with the yammi cat at 25 bucks a pound compared to the doo at 37 bucks per lb . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once you add all the aftermarket bracing to the doo to keep it from folding in half they will weigh pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The thing about the Ski Doo turbo is you have to ride one to understand why its so good. If you like to pound trails fairly aggressively, its a lot easier to muscle around than a big Yam or Cat turbo. I'd imagine the 3 cyl. Yam motor will walk it on top end, stock at least. But if you are going to do a 250 mile day, I'll take the Ski Doo thanks. The weight savings is noticeable. I ran a 12 XF1100 turbo for a couple years, and a 19 Renegade turbo for almost 2 seasons as well. Loved that little turbo. With more hp, its only going to be better. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handle as good or better than a 900 T and WAY faster, and better on fuel hopefully the mock C fixes the issues that the 900T had. Could be a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsky Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Setup is everything. Hear it all the time. Took a test ride on a buddies sled and it sucked. Which means buddies sled was either setup for him or more likely than not setup by the dealer which often times is terrible or worse then a rider that has zero clue how to setup the suspension on a sled. I would have had no issues buying a Winder and my dealer offered one for a day for an extended test ride but after making multiple adjustments there was no way to eliminate how nose heavy and unbalanced the thing is compared to the G4. Maybe power steering will help give it a lighter feeling up front but beyond handling the drive train is a weak point and overall it's just not as reliable. The engine is excellent though as it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 My RR out handles both the winder and 900T quite noticeably. When I first got on them I liked it but once we got into the rough twisties I instantly wanted my RR 800 back 900 T has nice build quality but that awful throttle made me hate things about it I’d take a winder over a 900T any day. If you’re gonna have a 4 stroke you might as well have power. And you avoid that hideous throttle I hope they have fixed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Doo can take decent boost but the stock turbo is relatively small. From experience I can tell you this, the Doo puts the power to the snow very efficiently in 600 ft. Very efficiently.

Basically added more resistance and a "cable feeling" for riders that would never buy the sled anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted December 2, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) It was really a simple decision to make this sled and didn't take much engineering at all. Chassis was done. Engine/Turbo was done. Electronic adjusting suspension was coming out on other sleds anyway. This was basically reaching into the box of parts already available. I just don't see the reasoning behind it being one year only. Edited December 2, 2021 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it is a hit they can just say oh it was so popular we brought it back . If it is a rolling grenade with a bad rep it just fades away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
