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 The winder is good for high speed long sweeping corners and long straight smooth trail. The kind of shit I see and just want to turn around and go back to the cabin . And great for standing around a lake all day with a bunch of other guys who only want to go 669 ft At a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically added more resistance and a "cable feeling" for riders that would never buy the sled anyway. It feels way better. Have to see if it’s still hard to modulate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 2 hours ago, Highmark said: 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. They say by the 3rd year sales of a sled like this go into the toilet. My guess is they’re trying to sell nearly two years worth Mach in a 1 year sled. And get a few more bucks out of the chassis from 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 6 hours ago, DriftBusta said: 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. i was impressed with the rental my friend had this winter when i rode it even the throttle outside parking lot speeds i found OK. too bad shes not getting her R . trail weapon for sure but after turning it around on sugar soft snow at the end of a skidder path not sure how you guys do it.

I agree I hated the 900 turbo what I hated most was the goofy electronic throttle that’s been addressed on the new models and the smart shocks are supposed to make it feel even lighter than it is. Who knows I have two buddys getting them so I’ll get to ride them this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
