I think you might see a trend to higher hp engines and more efficient drive trains, as iam not sure how much more weight the oem's can effectly lose without sacraficing strength. look at the xp, everyone calls it a cookie sheet and now people are bitching about the pro and how easy the A arms are bending, "well no chit sherlock" weight saving's come at a cost.

I'd like to see a "racer version"...like the dirt-bikes. Stripped down, no DPM, no fancy electronics, zippo....big motor, CHEAPER, and NO warrantee.

ok so 5000km comes around motor comes apart and maintain it. its time anyways.


bulkhead bending? my cousin hit a rock with his rev chassis and it took out his bulkhead while the a-arm stayed straight. its not just the xp chassis. ever seen a trailing arm sled hit a rock? once the rear mount bends its fawked.

stop hitting stuff
poor clutch alignment? 2008 was 3 years ago these issues have been addressed im on belt #1 with 2600km

the rear suspension isnt poor but there is room for improvement forsure

your such an angry person LOL

Not true..... sledge hammer straightened her right out....

I like this idea except $400 or so cheaper without DPM wouldn'e be worth it.

Better air flow over the clutches/Team secondary would be nice, would like to see more of the power get to the ground, right now our etec should be better from factory.

Better snow evacuation on the boards, currently sucks, also instead of tapered running boards would be nice if they stayed wider farther back.

Better skid still, even though the 11 is an improvement over the 08-10, it could still use some work. Still not as easy to lay over as other brands, so ya some better front end geometry.

And yes, some storage would be great!

???????? wow how narrow minded. You cant service that part, without engine dis-assembly. BRP states it very clear. That is a design flaw.
Also the fact that major bulkhead parts bend before that a-arms is a flaw, that should be addressed.with other obvious ones stated earlier like the venting the poor clutch alignment, and really poor rear suspension.

I would have to agree with this.

900cc etec tripple. Hopefully 180-200hp. Better harmonic balancing with a tripple = longer crank life. Or atleast i would hope.

Better running boards that evac the snow in the foot well.

More/better storage.

Better shocks and skis.
