oldslowsledder Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Smart shocks are awesome, worth every penny. What I have noticed though is the rear spring must be softer, my Renegade have the block on 1, rides great, on the Mach I have it on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between it being about as fast as a 600 sled the shocks were a big disappointment as well. The issue is when you start out and the shocks are cold they do seem to work ok but if you get into a few miles of stutter bumps the shock heats up and the computer control disappears and the shock fades away and rides like a pile of shit. 3 people from different groups all say the same thing. These are not diamond pounder types and ride pretty aggressive through all conditions so others might not have the same results but they do exist. Yea, no, it outruns my 850 everytime. Maybe I got one of the good ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves the smart shox. His last cat was 2015. He puts about 5k-7k on per year and buys new every year. He's been on an xrs since 2016 Its a great sled. Honestly a lot of great models out there right now and each person has different preferences on what's best for them. Other than price its a great time to be a sledder. 200 hp 4 stroke turbo's. 2 stroke factory turbo mountain sleds. Crossovers.....only thing we need is a big triple!!!!!!

Rod Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 900r launches hard but really lays down up top after 75-80 mph if feels like almost nothing is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my fingers crossed a 180 HP 2 stroke turbo crossover will come out from Doo, Poo or Cat. I might upgrade my Sidewinder in a few years. I won't buy any other 4 stroke motor but that one yet. 275+ HP is simply too addicting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These 850's work pretty good. But if Canada ever gets their shit together we are planning some big quebec and Ontario trips and I would prefer to not carry oil so I think the turbo would be perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that. I want to go back out west more which would include more trail riding and either case the 2 stroke turbo fits that better for me.

Rod Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Correction they haven’t cracked the encryption. They change hardware in the stock ECU that allows them to tune it it’s not $250, it’s a $250 deposit. The modification is $1600 so about 1/2 price of the hurricane stand-alone ECU so still kinda shitty just less Shitty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it handles the tight and twisties around here better than most sled's I've driven, and up till 80mph watch out lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Without traction and launch control I’m not sure if the Mach z would beat an 800-850 With a sno X track and the lunch control it does take off hard but fuck me it fall on its face after 550-660 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 They have to physically take the ECU apart and remove the encryption hardware that BRP asked Bosch to install then it can be tuned like any normal sled and still serviced by doo but your warranty will absolutely be gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that by the time you’re set up to tune the stock ecu you’ll be into it for $1600. Then it will be plus the tune.
