Are you guys ready for the next skidoo game changer?

[JungleJim]

I've shied away from wraps but the Freeride Turbo looks like such a good value for what you get I'm thinking this might be the way to go and add a wrap to get some colour on it. For all the exciting things Ski Doo came out with its too bad they followed Arctic Cat's lead in promoting Primer Grey as their main colour for 2021... First World problems I guess so I'll quit whining about it. Still the best sled I've owned so far!

freeride is not much more than the expert, you get the KYB36 all around. Good value in it forsure. Freeride does handle aswell as the regular expert though with the stiff shocks

doesnt it have the kyb40''s in the skid?

ya sorry, Fronts are 36. Deffinetly not as good of a shock as the old freeride but still a nice unit

Just did a comparison build on the skidoo canada site.
Summit X Turbo, Black, 165 3" short tunnel, shot start. $19,849 CND (plus pdi and freight of course).
SUmmit X Turbo w/expert package, 165 3" short tunnel, shot start (inc), $21,149 (plus pdi and freight)

$1300 price difference between the two. Expert package included extra's 1)Shot start ($250 add on to the non expert), KYB front, HPG center, KYB Pro 36 rear shocks, Remote limiter strap adjuster ($350 add on to the non expert). Math works out to $700 shock upgrade. How much could a guy get for the shock take-offs and then upgrade to fox?
Oh, and the colour upgrade on the expert (Black/Grey/Red) is $250. Colour upgrade on the non expert (Blue/White) is $500.

Toss up between getting a x and then putting on a real suspension.

Or just getting the freeride.

Not sure what the point of the expert is?

About $3300 to go turbo.

 

[lilduke]

Looks like the X has a different hood.

 

[pfi572]

$3300 for the turbo option seems good . IMO
A head and aftermarket pipe is 1/2 that isn’t it ?

Could be slow snowcheck season for the other brands....

I think that's a glitch in the build app, shows the n/a sled picture.

Well no more Yamaha mtn sleds, so its just down to the big three now. Some people are just not doo fans, so I think poo and cat will do okay

Not sure why some people assume that everyone will want a turbo. People still bought the lower specced sleds to save a couple hundred dollars. Plenty of people will look at the price and immediately discount spending that much. S&M members are a very niche part of the market.

I'm not buying one.

Have been batting this around in my head for the past month.

Been riding n/a sleds around other turbo sleds for years.
I always get to where I "need" to go.

Be interesting to see where trend goes over the next years.

 

[Clode]

Unless you ride over 6000ft all the time, why buy one ? I suspect BRP will sell a ton of them, then guys will bitch when they ride at 3000ft and can't destroy a stocker.

 

[snochuk]

I'm not buying one.

Was thinking hard but decided on other option.
Did not see the value in it for me.
Will be great for others though.

Boys. She’s $20+ grande. That’s a tonne of money a guy can have a tonne of fun on a n/a sled too. I ain’t gonna hijack this thread. But we’re talking $20-24 grande. It wants to be an awesome ****ing sled. Period.

What I am really curious about is what the depreciation/resale curve will be on these.

Me too, after warranty is up a used turbo sled is a used turbo sled that nobody wants
