Boonbocker1 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Does it matter how many they sell? They are right up there with arctic cat status of being like a Bugatti or McLaren so I don't think sale numbers really matter to them🤣🤣 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought their 600 Enduro (XC) sled was pretty cool in the past. https://www.brp-world.com/int/en/brands/lynx/models/sport/rave.html Edited October 9, 2023 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK440 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 They don’t race’em in the Iron Dog so they are shit to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 From the POV of someone that knows doos are good machines but will never get 'that ski doo feeling" I think the lynx look a lot better than doos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRP guy I've come to know basically said 'the XRS owners already complain about how stiff they are, and would absolutely hate the Lynx, which is why no one ordered one last year' he loves the Lynx demo he had, but he's not a puss.

I’d like to see how the Lynx would do in a real race like the Iron Dog. But the PPS skid has too many linkage parts that make it unreliable for long distance XC racing. It’s best suited for the average COR race in a smooth ditch next to a cornfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fields are way smaller over there too. That makes the courses like 6km long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK440 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 If Lynx sleds were any good BRP would sponsor people to race them in the Iron Dog. They don’t therefore they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The know Alaskan iron doggers would break the weak ass skid and make the brand look bad. Lynx would match Cat in DNF’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK440 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Until they actually race the Lynx and prove me wrong I’m 100% correct. If the POS skid was sooooo good, why doesn’t Doo use it in sno-x or COR or the Iron Dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
