2023 Skidoo Expert Turbo

Tbh I could give 2 clucks about track speed anymore … I’ve been there done it for 27 years - I’m just just gonna ride & tour.

We gave up on that years ago. As you get older the desire to sit at the bottom of the hill all day taking turns climbing where you probably shouldn't be has worn out its welcome. Now its about fresh air, seeing some country and making tracks with buddies. Less wrenching that way as well.

100% Those days are done for me too. Just nice to ride and try do some exploring. Oh Also done with the pull starts. Just like hitting the button now. lol

Interesting talk on the snowest podcast. Biggest thing I heard from these guys who rid the 9r, boost and skidoo G5 turbo r is it seems they all loved the new chassis on the G5 and the expert with the new rigid skid, no more wobbly wobbly seem to really change the way the sled handles. Also said the throttle response on the new turbo r was more instant than when riding the Boost.

G5 isn't a new chassis lol

And Its impossible to tour around the mountain and enjoy the scenery without a 30,000$ g5.

So its money well spent

(Just kidding btw. I appreciate all the mint used sleds for sale)


Only reason id get one, is so i could beat the ever living chit out of it though...

I just heard skidoo is going to have a mid season release of a new 2023.5 900RRR. It will likely be on the snow before the 23 Polaris 900r.

900R is for women, children and seniors

OK ok, well then its new plastics and track, with going back to a skid that every other manufacturer uses.

Still no mono rail though. Thats what it really needs.

I'm not sold on the monorail, but the 3" track they put on the Alpha kicks the sheet out of any other OEM track out there.

Ya the the track on the cat works ok. The mono rail is a gimmick imo just like t motion.

Agreed. Although the downhill hooks I can pull on the Alpha are pretty unreal, the predictability leaves a lot to be desired. Got me the nickname of squirrel because of how damn squirrelly it is.

Yeah the new innovations were designed to make it easier for novice riders to pull over the sled. The problem is most don’t know what to do after the sled is on its side lol

Full throttle and hope for the best

Pin it turn up the hill flip it over backwards and repeat seems to be the new normal

100% agree but not just novice. As I get older, the less pulling to get the sled to come over the better. At the end of the day, my back and shoulders seem to be much better off on my Alpha vs the twin-rail. Not saying its better or worse, but man is it easy to spin around with less effort.

Ya, reminds me of the Polaris guys saying a doo can't hold a sidehill.

Had a chance to ride a turbo 154 G5 in Revy over the weekend and I have to say it was incredible, insane and nimble! My 19 N/A Summit X is ancient tech vs the new sled, cant believe how far they have come in 5 years! I was really impressed to say the least.

I'm coming off a '19 FreeRide... hoping for the same!

That thing looks like it rips. Might be time for an upgrade.
