Most people don’t want the hassle of a mod sled. Honestly most wouldn’t know how to keep one running. if this engine holds together, which is a big if with Polaris, it’s one fuckin awesome sled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda dumb that the 850's cost that much more than a 650 because there really isn't any difference except piston size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or in the first year. What happens if one blows up? Parts on backorder until September 2026? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Probably my biggest issue with the Mach Z was the straight up misleading marketing. It should never have been called that. It should have been called a touring sport. It’s simply not a fast machine. It’s just a nice machine. I wonder how much they paid snowtrax to say it’s as fast as a winder.

He was never really like that on HCS back then I liked the guy and we had no beef with each other till I got over here. He loves the fact when I mention HCS, just wait for the freak out now. Your Z its not a bad sled at all they just over overhyped, like you said, just like they did with all the new 800 and 850's and have driven alot of them. They will never be old Mach Z or T-Cat old or new fast. Ace I would call your sled more of a Cadillac of the snowmobile industry, I bet its got one hell of a good ride.

Yeah he’s a spaz like I said it’s nice and probably the nicest driving 4 stroke on the market but that 900r engine is so mediocre compared to how they marketed it and compared to the 998 maybe mad at myself too for falling for doos bullshit of constant over promise and under deliver marketing bullshit they honestly deserve to fall to 2nd place because they need a good boot in the ass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it will gives my 850 a run for its money or it gives a better ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R should spank an 850 handily. I want to pinch this pig across a long hardpan lake. If it does 100 I'm good. The Winders are probably gonna walk it, and thats ok. I love the way they feel, doesn't wear me out like my cat turbo did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
