Maybe they should have spent less on the fancy building... I'm sure BRP will end up buying them out, it's basically a G4 under the panels.

BRP invested hundreds of millions in electric, and already has their own Grand Touring and Expedition sleds that are electric, they don't need Taiga, they are miles ahead of them. BRP is trying to release electric versions of all their vehicles by 2026. I'm sure they've seen the future while lobbying the govt, and they will eventually make most things electric.
Have you looked into buying the grown man sized jugs?
Like Maxi says. Buy three get one free in October at Martin’s is cheaper than the giant jug. Once a year, I leave Martins with a dolly full of oil. This year coming I won’t have to. Prepaid for next year.
I don’t think they could have designed a poorer oil container than the large jug.
Certainly they were beat up at 6000-7000' in our riding group. Maybe not high enough for you though?
Ummmm....well I was on an Axys 800 165 N/A Mountain Magic sled that I had Ken build for me; I also rode with Ken and his guys. It worked very well. We had 3 guys in that group scoop up the 2020.5 turbos as soon as they were released. I am not embarrassed to admit that when we lined them up at the bottom of a hill those factory turbos laid the smack down on that Jaws N/A of mine. Every damn time. No exceptions. Unfortunately I got to watch them disappearing up that hill in front of me time after time. It's ok to be brand loyal; but I am not so I have nothing to hide here. Is an Expert 850 N/A gonna beat up an 850 Boost?? Not a damn chance. If it's a rider skill involved test that's not a test of the sled so maybe that's where an N/A with a great rider can beat up on a boosted sled. But not a straight pull up a hill....I ate alot of snowdust proving that.
Exact opposite happened in a steep cutblock at about 6500 ft. All 3 NA Axys beat the G4 Turbo up the hill with about 1ft of fresh. My buddy on the G4 said he wasted an extra $4000 getting the turbo. Maybe in a long race it would have been able to stretch its legs?? Although this also happened on a longer lake race but I'm told they are slow if they don't get loaded enough?? The G5 seems to be much faster for sure. I wouldn't be surprized if factory clutching was part of the reason it was so slow.
