2017 Skidoo Summit?

[Merc63]

When does BRP release info on their 2017 line up typically? More specifically the new T3 if they are coming out with it again.

Has anyone heard any rumors? I assume with only doing a color change for 2016 that something good is coming for next years mountain machines...?

end of feb, I heard the new sled is ready but with the down turn and no snow down east it may get shelfed for another year and clean up all the carry over stuff which makes sense...

 

[Merc63]

Well they could release the mountain machines!

Hoping for a refined 900cc on the T3 and then loose 10-20 lbs (like the hood, airbox, light assembly)...but that's just me wishing.

different rumors Ive heard from different sources

-same XM with narrow "cheek" plastic
-lightweight primary clutch or totally new clutch (not TRA)
-872 or similar CC
-totally new chassis

Usually end of Feb. They just announced new rebates and are blowing out 2016's.

880 ( 872) is coming for.2017 trygtad bad others have proven the reliability

I'm betting chassis next year and motor later. Brp won't give you both the same year. Not good for repeat business. Gotta keep you trading up every 1-2 years.

 

[neilsleder]

Usually in the past it's been new motor then the next year new chassis. So my bet is new chassis or more improved refinements to the xm. No new motor.

If cats coming out with the new ctec @180hp ? Doo will release what they have been sitting on for a few years. IMO

Wow rumour threads starting already? Lol

Can you put this in English? Are you saying trygstad 872 is bad?

 

[KermitZx6r]

I think what he tried to say is that Trygstad **and** others have proven the reliability(Good) of the big bore kits.

Look at a new 600 next year....800 to follow...my money says same motor sizes but revised etec system similar to the outboards. I'm doubting we will see bigger...1000 sdis sold well the first year and flatlined after that. BRP is profit driven and if they do not see the potential for payback its not going to happen. Doo has ties with aerocharger yet we don't see that as an official relationship.

Primary will come from the RS which is a new design.

My guess is doo saw how well a Sled with a more specific mtn ppackage would sell...a la the T3. If you look at the lineup the backcountry line was stretched to provide more of a crossover coverage. This is allowing Doo IMO to build a Summit with fewer trail traits and more specific mtn features compared to the past.

I do foresee a foray into the bike market..from what I've been told the Boivins (snowhawk creators) have hung out in Valcourt fairly regularily since the Snow Hawk quit production.

Whatever the case maybe BRP moved Seadoo production South and this frees up a considerable amount of production space to now build multiple platforms.

1000 in the summit didn't sell well because they were junk and very heavy.

true but cat m1k's werent as bad and were a hard sell too.

 

[LBZ]

Probably because the M8 was such a good platform had almost the same HP, lighter and was cheaper.

 

[Merc63]

I don't see how a 1000cc engine is going to be considerably heavier? Doesn't take much to stretch the block out some. Unless they have to do upgrades all over to support the new power? But you see turbos pushing way more with no problems.

Dam phone lol
i was told by someone (he is In The clutching world ) that works close with brp that was going to buy a sled this year and was told by someone at brp that he should wait till next year (said you really really want to wait till next year)( he also talked to a guy that works for Bosch and brp has been testing a whole bunch of different larger injectors)
what I was trying to say before is the 872 that trygstad builds are very reliable so it a natural next step
