2017 Skidoo Summit?

[Toyboy]

I was told that the guys breaking rods are to greedy for the big numbers. I was told 5-6lbs is very manageable on an etec engine and 10 is not. For the guys that want to run the big boost the rod change out is highly recommended

Really only 5-6lbs?? What kind of HP does that give you? Hardly seems worth it. I thought the turboed cats were running 10-12 lbs.

Re: 2017 New Summit

Buddies of mine where on it today out around the shuswap. Still waiting for the "report" other than "It was ok" with a winkie face behind it. Last time they said that we all bought 2013's lol.

Does anyone know if there are demo rides scheduled or about to be scheduled that were so successful for the 2015 t3. I looked on the doo site but only found viewings down east.

Several turboed doos almost 10000kms, and only freshened top end once... Won't find a poo with that

This is true. As with most things though, the higher the performance, the more maintenance it requires.

Some things are built for longevity, others are built to perform...

Re: 2017 New Summit

Must be a tad slow in the Poo/cat section...

Yup, our day is coming.....big news there too, no doubt.....stay tuned

Best post from snow-west.........That front end looks like a Buick...........lol

Might not be huge power, but at elevation they would still be pushing nearly the same power as at sea level, no loss like a NA motor. So it would be a huge difference in the hills.

Yep, and it's not like any of the other manufactures can run more then 5lbs without breaking rods........



Oh wait....

Anyway, back on track. Anyone have some snowcheck deals to post yet?
And why isn't the blue and yellow a Summit color? That to me would be a better choice then the orange and white.

If that was directed at me it was just an honest question. I thought all the 2 stroke turbos were running more boost than 5-6 lbs. Just didn't seem like a huge number to me I guess. Sorry you were so offended FFS

 

[fredw]

Few things here.. Find out what the hp per pound of boost is on the cat or poo, pretty sure you will see a nice jump on those numbers on the doo..

been out win boosted poos, but no boosted cats.. And say I will stick with the lower boosted doos, as for rods breaking yes we have some under higher boost, some guys not..

throw ow a leg over a boosted 6 lb doo and climb a ulgy.. Let me know after if you think it needs more..

Boost lb #'s are like pin weight in the clutch .IMO
People want to talk about big #'s when others using less can come up with same result and make it work as good or better.

So you all enjoy trail sleds?




Figured this thread went to hell. May as well keep stirring.

What I've always wondered about- is why those that defend their brand the most are usually always the ones that never ride a stock, or close to stock sled. And this goes for either of the usual 2 in these conflicts.

If 5 lbs was enough boost for a doo was enough to crush everyone else, then why are guys building rods to squeeze more out? Because it's never enough. It's that 'never enough' that pushes everyone to be better. You guys should be thankful the pro can do so much with so little, because it causes your engineers to build a better product. And I'm glad doo offers a great product, because it pushed Polaris to be better. It would be a awful boring place if we had companies sharing tunnels and engines...

Competition is good, and as much as some don;t want to admit it- BRP needs Polaris to succeed, as much as Polaris needs BRP to.

Anyone confirm if shock configurations have changed from previous xm. Brand new full set of raptors and would be a shame I could swap over.

 

[crazy_cappa]

I have not confirmed but thought they mentioned more travel on the new one

 

[maxwell]

I'm not to worried about the ugly front end. It's kind of like Rachel notley I just keep telling myself I only have to deal with it for 4 years

Half these guys need to look in the mirror.

It looks fine to me. Won't see it smashing through pow in the trees anyways.

Re: OK.. Fresh thoughts, new machine the new summit..

Isn't the hard to pull over the bigger magnetos required for fuel injection?
Ptec ? easy and etec is a pull when cold in comparison.
Both same compression .

Yes that was my point, this new engine puts out way more current at idle so I figure the stator is much bigger and therefore will be harder to spin over.

Well hopefully that's all it has in common with Rachel, otherwise it will go down as the worst sled in the history of sledding.

just saw a vid dave norona posted with the BRP engineer where he says there is less magnetic drag on the new 850

or was that magnetic attraction?
