2011 Summit SP or 2011 Summit X Etec

[EMANAARON]

Im having a hard time trying to decide between the 2 Sled.

What would you Reccomend and why?

2011 Summit SP 800PTEK - 1yr Warrenty

2011 Summit X 154 Etec - 3yr Warrenty.

 

[JaySimon]

I would go Etec, better gas mileage and more warrenty.

 

[maxwell]

its a tough call because the SP will leave you some extra coin to do a few mods but the 3yr warranty with the etec is worth its weight in gold

 

[Canadianking]

I would go with the etec they hot great power and fuel economy is awesome. The warranty for three years is always a good thing especially with how a guy rides these machines.

 

[maxwell]

i wouldnt base your decision off fuel economy. the 800r is no pig on fuel either.

this is an expensive game and a few bucks on fuel here and there is a wash

Fuel economy to me does not matter . when its empty its empty.

The warrenty would really sway my decision. Given that it is a new motor for these sleds, being able to drop it off and get it fixed for 3 years is pretty excellent.

 

[maxwell]

exactly. 3yr warranty on a 2stroke....id take that and run

Thats true, I just dont know. Haha i pretty much had decided to go with the SP yesturday and then i Second guessed myselfand not have no clue which way to go. Only because it is a new motor.

 

[maxwell]

ya forsure and like i told you my 2010 is perfect so probly same with the 11s. all the bugs are worked out put a can on and ride it.

i dont see any issues with the etec being it is still based off the 800r engine.

 

[JaySimon]

And in the off chance there is an issue, you have warrenty to back it up.

 

[pipeliner72]

Go with the SP you don't need to hit them rocks any faster!:d just joking!

 

[froggy]

I beleive they had 3 options to choose from and 3yr Warrenty was one of them.

Why even buy a 2011 800r? Go with the 2010, it's cheaper and pretty much the same.

Of the two choices go Etec haven't heard anything too bad yet except they're very expensive!

Actually i cant Find anyone who can touch the price i can get the SP for with their 2010s

We bought an etec with the extended warranty.

Even if it is based off the ptek motor, there are a LOT of differences, and after the elctrical issues the 600's saw early on, the 3 year warranty on our 800 was a no brainer.

First year sled, ya most the rest of the chassis is finally figured out, but ya can't go wrong with warranty.

Power wise you will not notice a night and day difference, but the suspension is a LOT better over previous models, that was our major deciding factor to upgrade xp models.

Ya i dunno what to do hahah. Everyone ive talked to who has a Etec says they love it. And anyone ive talked to with a 2010 Ptek said they love it.

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.

 

[maxwell]

something wrong with your 880 and your 174 track. any lugs left?

an elan with a 174 should beat a 163x etec considering a taller lug and longer.

the etec is maybe 8 more hp. not going to work better than a 174 with factory 800r motor.

but yes the etec will perform better than the 800r stock to stock spent time on both.
