2011 Summit SP or 2011 Summit X Etec

[Slamnek]

I would go with the e-tec but the SP has a now proven 800r with all the suspension updates so it should handle better than a 2010 stock for stock. I still think the warrenty would make up my mind. It would just suck if they do become problematic like the 07's, warrenty or not your missing riding days and someone has to pull your broke a$$ out of the hills.

I rode 3 days in Valemount last weekend. One of the guys in our group has a 163 X with the E-Tec and he was outclimbing everything in the deep, baseless powder, and this was the first time it was ever ridden. I can't imagine how that thing is gonna work after the ECU break in period is done. For reference we had an '08 XP with a Split Second 880 in it; running a 174" track that was able to stay close the STOCK 163 E-Tec when we got into any serious deep powder climbing.

Was his park brake on bro?

1 part machine, 2 parts rider. Obviously the guy on the 880 couldn't ride. Yes I agree that the etec is awesome, but it's not a mod sled slayer.

If you go with the SP why not pay the $525 for 2nd year engine warranty?

Resale could be a consideration...Unless it turns out to be a POS the etec will give you better resale on the backend...newer technology will sell faster and prob at a bit better buck. If the 5% power increase is real can you get that cheaper with aftermarket mods on the ptek - prob need pipe, ypipe, reeds...so prob not. Although depends what price differential is.

Personally I don't think the etec's will be much over the 800r...5% power dif (if that's not BS)...everyone on the new poos and etech say they are the greatest thing going best sled they ever rode etc etc but time will tell. Maybe i'm just jealous haha. I'm on an 860 now so can't wait to run it up against some etechs and poos :d

 

[maxwell]

you wont have any problem against the poo..that things a dog. had the pleasure of testing that

Well, i've been doo a long time, and maybe not much time in the steep and deep, but, E-TEC = less vibe, less smoke, way better throttle feel, EFI,EFI,EFI, NUFF SAID !!

hahh toughest descision Ever.

my thought was that if you do go for the etec, seems like it it would kind of limit the mods you could do for extra ponies,

i figure i would go with the ptek and use some the extra cash for some mods and the extra year of warranty.

what is the price diff?

 

[maxwell]

thats exactly what i was leaning towards. with the cash saved you can get a can/clutchkit/vent kit/wrap/some billet wheels/quick clickers/tunnel stiffeners/gas rack and the extra warranty.

if you end up with the ptek get an hps can i love mine long time LOL

$1800 Bucks Difference.

seems to me thats almost the cost of the etec option so your basically getting all the x stuff extra

But when it comes to resale time which ones gonna lose the most % Cause ill probably end up selling it in under 5yrs

Exactly, the etec is a 2000 dollar option in the everest.

5 years it will be miled out anyways i wouldnt be worrying about resale in 5 years

 

[EMANAARON]

Might be i usually put 150km on a trip and get out maybe 5 times a year

3750km in 5 years plus or minus a few.

 

[maxwell]

oh ok well maybe not then

i put on 4000 a year LOL

[maxwell]
