Did you ever think that if the drivetrain becomes more efficient it opens up the ability to have smaller engines having the same track hp? Less weight, better fuel economy and arguably more reliability. Maybe The Huff will come out with something so that you can copy and paste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about who has the best gizmos these days it’s the pure joy of snowmobiling. Sno tech has hit its max. The only thing that’s hasn’t hit its max is the cost of sledding. It’s out of control.

Guest Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Many a Cat owner was peacocking when Bikeman dyno'd the 800 ctec at over 160hp. Then they were spot on In fact Cat themselves claimed 160 class hp after that ,,no guff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same until I thought about it. You and I can remember guys trying to get carbed 500 Fuji's to run with turbos and they got them to run but they never lasted. Now with modern fuel injection, electronics and inter cooling they will last a lot longer IMO. There's guys out west with a lot of time on the Polaris and Doo with good durability so far.

Bikman dyno is the worst in the scam market always has been always will be .and they all use the 1xx class BS now because of lawyers can't be over or under . Same reason you can't buy a fucking lawn mower with a 5 hp motor any more just the CC poo doing it to . In fact I think poo went over 15 yrs not posting hp when there comp were posting hp numbers . Guess they were just ahead of the game .yeah sure that's it that's the tix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can be made to run if you’re willing to throw enough money at it. I guess this might’ve been something that would’ve excited me a few years ago. Not much anymore. Overlanding has my attention now. It’s a fucking blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a used one is hard to do without paying way to much and new ones are nuts. I think we found a place to rent one for a month to try it out.
