I wish mine was a 141. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years back the groomed trail from Charlevoix to EJ was lost because a piece of land changed hands and no reroutes were possible. Not a super big deal as Charlevoix isn’t really snowmobile friendly anyhow.

I got the XTX 137 and Scott has the XTX141... Not just the skid is different but the front end as well... the 137 is a half breed more for the trail segment... coupled and the standard trail sled front end. The 142 is more for the boon docking.... uncoupled and had the mtn sled spindals and stance. Also the 141 comes 2 1/4 track while my 137 has the 1 3/4 lug. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one I can think of was JT, he hated it, I really didn't get it, he bought an srx and said it sucked in big bumps, I'm sitting there, well it's lowered and is specifically not a big bump sled, it's a groomed trail/lake rocket..But then again he thought the earth was flat.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 2022 Enduro 900R Turbo. For me it's the right blend.... I bought the ultimate geezer sled this year, a Country Squire of the snow if you will. Expedition Extreme 900 turbo R!

DriftBusta Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Jim if you’re keeping the Assault, the Sidewinder or even the Doo turbo would be no brainers in terms of variety. If you’re going to one sled and want the ultimate in versatility, I think the BC would be a no brainer. Love mine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted August 20, 2022 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 20, 2022 Considering I would be happy with stock power levels which is the “better” sled…Winder or Renegade 900 Turbo?

Brother has a 19 winder, me a 22 ren xrs 900 r The cat is faster but the doo is a better all around machine. rolling start I had him up to about 80 mph, then the cat finds another gear. the on the fly suspension on the cat does work as advertised. doo is farther off the ground. Deeper snow the doo is much better. it is still a cat Edited August 21, 2022 by Voodoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awful knawful Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Xtxs is a trail sled. You need that much track to Ballance the pigs out. They are still a rocket and very fast top end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 137 it tops out at about 105 mph, in ideal conditions. No noticeable turbo lag. cable throttle. Clutching is amazing for stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent on fuel too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
