2021 Expert vs X

[AkNomad]

I could possibly see an E sled for the trails but mountain riding, I just don't see an E sled generating enough power for climbing steep slopes, sidehilling through trees, jumping and all the other insane stuff we do on these mountain sleds.

imo they could generate enough power, range would be the issue.

Maybe the "E" in Expert is a sign, or maybe nobody really gives a s%^t about an electric sled right now. Lets get back on topic. We can complain about the electric sled colors in 5 years when/if they come out.

Exactly. A lot of auto reviewers have done testings on the tesla suv towing a trailer on mountain roads and range is cut down significantly to a point where they could not make it to the next charging station. We all know the e-tec sips gas for trail riding for on those deep days.......you're lucky to get 60km on a tank.

From what Im seeing the expert is a better value.
For a person who has a set of shocks already the x is a excellent value.
It look like the difference between the two is the adjustable limiter and the shocks??

 

[Bikeswithtrax]

Making enough power is easy, but making it for any distance will be a complete fail.

 

[yamiklr]

Range Anxiety will be a big prob .

So after going through the build process sever times I am seeing that apples to apples, 165 3", both with shot, the expert is $800 more than an X. Now for that extra $800 all I'm seeing is the extra low riser for all you under 6' fellas, fancy kashima coated shocks, adjustable limiter strap and hand guards. Am I missing something? Seems that they narrowed the gap significantly between X and Expert and I'm not sure it's worth the extra coin. I'd be tempted by a Freeride if it wasn't such a light colour, side panels will be black with exhaust and belt dust after 500km.

I am thinking freeride.
But no one will want that light color used.
So maybe x and then pump the $2k difference in a real suspension.

Bingo.
Easy to look in the tank right now. Batteries, weight and cold weather....

Also expert is standard with shot, x is option

Put a scs side panel kit on the freeride. I think that color will be fine, but I understand what your concern is.

It is??? Must be a error on the website than, when I built the summary said the shot on the x, it was zero dollars when I selected it.

What's the list price to top up the turbo to a 4 year warranty?

See your local dealer for pricing

We don't have a local dealer here. BRP wouldn't allow one. Lol

Ya, brp screwed us here


Made us have to drive at least a hour, to a crappy dealer

Hence why I'm going to switch brands, for dealer service that good and close

You can all ways buy from a dealer outside the that dealers sales area. Nothing brp can do about it. It's a free country for now. There is one that delivers here.

Oh I know
