I have heard from sources inside brp that there is no new chasi coming, just some ergonomic changes.

As for poo not sure but i do know i havnt seen a poo motor in a 2011 or 12 go down since the beginning of last season, cant say that for doo. But there are ALOT more doo's out there than new poo's.

Polaris underpowered? They make up for it by being much lighter, best power to weight ratio

Doo is upgrading suspension and handling and that is all they have released to the dealers as of yet, we have a doo salesman in our group and he says it may be another few years before they upgrade from the xp, that's why I made the why upgrade perfection quote, his exact words and opinion obviously;), belt drive would be a cool upgrade to any of them and provide substantial weight loss but it will also increase price, cat really has no reason to do anything but fix the problems they have already and go from there, they brought a new chassis out this year, doo will not get anything out of the lawsuit as I see it, why would you try a drastic change to a new chassis after the firat year unless it was a total flop, there is a lot of room to improve but I would say 2014 will be the year they do drastic upgrades

Must be a Canadian thing, as the RMK Pro was the top selling sled in all classes in 2011, not sure about 2012.

So who's source is it that your questioning? I got my info from more than one place, seems that we are seeing a lot more variety of sleds out on the hill lately.

the ski doo tour was in kakwa over the weekend and they said not next year as did the local dealer and our salesman? you'd think they'd have some insight, but then again they also want to sell the 2012's so who knows
