Different shows for different regions. I have seen the list for the Calgary show and pretty much all Summits with exception of a Renegade I think.

Interesting. Maybe they leave a bunch of mountain sleds in the semi. Let us know if a bunch of doo mountain machines.

Curious

I looked at the new Q-linq bag here in saskatoon, just because I would like one thats lower profile and more importantly has a external shovel mount. Two things that bothered me about it though. 1, the bag has four brackets on the bottom to mount to the tunnel, but only 2 line up(can't use all four at the same time).
2, the waterproof bag on the inside is ridiculously massive, probably taking up over half the storage of the actual tunnel bag itself.

the bag is designed to use the back two base plates and the rear ski/snowboard linq base plates that you have to drill. This way you still have the forward predrilled holes for the linq fuel caddy or something else. If it used the front four you could not mount anything else except the bag.

if mounted back there how do you attach the removable snowflap? I have the rear spacing set up for the snowflap. Can I still use the ski rack?

Went in thinking red summit 175, left thinking blue Freeride 165... alpha lays over easy, real easy. There were Polaris 850s there and the snowcheck yammys are cool colours

What's your thought on that Alpha?
Looks strong, it was weird seeing that much track fold over when guys pulled on it. The driver windows seemed thin between holes? once the track gets moving 30/40 km/hr, I don't know if it will fold in half as well?

Interest was AC Alpha one, also SkiDoo Renagade Enduro with 900 Ace Turbo. Renegade may be my next sled. We are running 3 Skandic for Fort Sask Nordic Ski Club with 900 Ace motor. Good, quiet, efficient sled. Maybe heavy 700lbs, however we pull 800 pound trail groomers, and the 900 purrs.

Was there, Alpha looked cool, looks very beefy, track is very rigid, and that rail looks strong, time will tell how well it works, lays over very easy but so does a regular mtn cat, if it works good next year my name is on the first conversion kit available, my salesman figured maybe later part of next season at the earliest, if not its a summer 2019 job
