9R reviews or lack thereof….

With that logic… why would skidoo even sell NA 850’s any more…?

N/a 850 is $15000 from skidoo. $10000 less than the turbo.

Wasn’t that long ago we were all in seventh heaven getting an 850 NA. Shows how fast this sport is progressing.

To me it has almost taken the fun out of it. The sleds nowadays are so good that there is almost no challenge in anything. I remember the days of being excited to "break trail" up and over the waterfall at silent pass. Sometimes would take you half the day. Now you can easily do it in one pull.

I guess you can still challenge yourself, but it gets a guy into alot sketchier of spots

We were chatting about that last night…I can remember being a two day event getting trail up to cabin flats in Quartz… these big sleds have definitely taken the excitement out of a lot of the riding for the average Joe.., it’s more about the size of balls these days.

true, we find our selves going "down" the mountain instead of up these days. New challenge

If you want to spend all day trying to get up a hill the 9R would be the perfect sled for you then…

On my trip last week, I started consciously NOT looking at my GPS tracking devices and GPS tracks. There comes a point where my GPS tells me so much about the riding area, that it takes some of the fun out of it.

Polaris and skidoo made sledding too easy. Thank goodness for arctic cat and their revolutionary 600cc mountain sled.
