Can’t that be done through GPS like find my friends on our iPhones?

not without a subscription service. you can receive position data on GPS satellites for free however you can NOT transmit data for free. So yes, it could be done that way but it would have to be a monthly subscription similar to zoleo or inraech. Except that still wouldnt work because you would need to receive thousands of positions per ride. Not feasible. The lag would also be really bad. Radio is the only solution that i can think of being in the GPS industry for 20+ years

Find my friends on your iPhone still uses the cell phone service data to receive the position of the device you are trying to find.

That's not through GPS though. GPS is strictly a one way signal. The iPhones are using data and near field communication protocols to enable that functionality.

What the gauge needs is a VHF transceiver to share location data.

precisely

I can transmit my location on my iphone 14 for free via find my friends. It works pretty slick.
I see what you mean on the lag tho. Maybe that module will also have a transmitter? it better for the price I seen.

Thought there would be more buzz on here about the new supercharger.

Just marketing wanker talk from some dolt that doesn't know enough about engines to see that calling it supercharged confuses the fact it has a turbo.

 

[Dawizman]

I think this should clarify what they meant

 

[snoflake]

Garmin, and Trail tech both have separate antennae's for buddy tracking.

 

[H-D]

The supercharger will be for next years electric model. LOL

 

[Caper11]

updates will come as it will be worked on till new sleds are built.....a timeline i can not give you.

Is that embedded map module going to be available? There was no mention of a upgrade to the 10.25 gauge for 2024.

[lilduke]

That sled looks fkn awesome.

 

[NoBrakes!]

I agree! back to the good shocks too

 

[NoBrakes!]

kinda funny to use the DS4 ski that has more ski forward of the spindle bolt but yet use the new spindle that brings the bolt back 3mm?

 

[lilduke]

Yep. Good to see the 40s back.

The kyb 46mm would have been better, but guess they save those for the lynx.

 

[NoBrakes!]

Ya man, look at some of their gnarly offerings

 

[Teth-Air]

in order to buddy track the current guage would need a plugin radio module. Unless they come up with some new tech

2 soup cans and a long string stretched between?

So am i reading the literature properly?

850 Turbo R - 180hp
850 Turbo R w/meth - 180hp consistently

i feel like skidoo is insinuating that the regular 850T can make 180 but doubtful you see it unless this is optimum conditions...

You probably never hold it pinned for more than several seconds. Likely starts fading after 20-30 seconds but trying that while mountain riding is not common or easy to do. When you back out and the boost drops the air temp after the turbo will drop too and cool the components. Ready for the next burst of power.

sounds like it is heatsoaking at low elevation on successive lake run passes and pulling timing. Don't think the meth is offered for the mountain sled.

not yet but be pretty cool if it made its way into the mountain segment as an option...if it did anything of course

im more interested in getting the Boost launch feature in the mountian segment, sure would be handy getting out of some pickles i get myself into. ITs offered in the turbo 2 strokes now

 

[Clode]

Where are they spraying the water/meth at? Its most effective just downstream of the turbo. Water/meth in the bottom of a 2stroke is bad news not to mention washing oil on cylinder walls. It will be interesting to see how this works out.
