LennyR you took on the Doo boys and got them all aroused again. You gotta stop that or they will never go home. :nono:
As I read the post by Dave Norona of Doo in another thread I couldn't help but think of when Poo came out with the new RMK in 11. Poo changed how mountain sleds handle and...
One more biggy from me. I have always hated the stealth look with flat surfaces and sharp corners of the XP. The new smooth flowing lines of the summit is a big improvement to me. I actually like the looks now. The machine just looks refined and sharp to my eye.
More info from the Orbital Corp. site. Amazing what google can do. Doo uses the Ficht system for simplicity (but not as good at atominzing fuel which is where the economy comes in). The Orbital system is better at fuel atomization but involves more mechanics to do it. Probably what is holding up...
From Snowgoer
When U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations for snowmobiles started in 2006, Ski-Doo already had its 600 H.O. SDI two-stroke engine on the snow for two years. It was considerably cleaner than regulations required and it achieved industry-leading fuel economy. The engine...
Like others said I am interested in this years inovation, not last years. Factory Turbo and tall spindles are last years news. Polaris's boards are 50% inovation 50% improvement. The inovation I guess is the use of extruded aluminum as compared to forming with the tunnel (see what I meam about...
Thought it might be nice to talk techy stuff introduced on the new factory sleds from all brands. Not the additon of storage, tweaking, etc. My thoughts:
Start with Doo
Very interesting rear suspension in the T motion and flex track. Pros I see. Sounds like it allows a sled to flex for...
Sounds like it's time for a poll. I am wondering what people would rather have if 2 compairable sleds had nearly the same power to weight ratio but one was 50 lbs lighter. Which really will be the better handling one? More power and maybe a better track helps with some aspects but not all...
Everything. Not the most powerfull engine (but not a big gap either). Handling..check out what all the rest of the Doo and Cat converts are saying about the Pro on this site and other forums. Thier testimonies say it all. You will then know who on this site not to trust for reliable information...
Time for a positive twist and get people thinking about nice things to say instead of negative about the other guys prefered ride. Fact is and we all know that all sled brands have reached a high level of performance in all areas. I love my Poo for my own reasons.
In my home we have a rule. If...
The SKS was 4 sleds ago and still have it for the kids. 8000 miles and only replaced shocks and hifax once. Backup sled is a modded 2002 800 RMK. I just don't like the feel of the Doos. I think they are a very good sled but just not my preference. I hate the looks and riding on a sled that feels...
Your right about the engine. Poo has had DI for years now but won't put it on a sled. I checked out the Orbital DI technology Poo has and it looks to be even better than the Doo DI as it has a better injection concept to further atomize the fuel that increases performance and fuel economy...
If Poo amped up the power there would be nothing to debate anymore. I am sure Doo is worried about this. Doo has the engine and now is hoping to have a sled that performs as easy as the Poo. Unless Doo drops the weight they will not top the performance. We all know this. Thats why the Doo folks...
