Good thing I'm riding something with 80's technology,Poo is definitely out of my league and this new Tmotion thing sounds a little to flickable for me.
I'll wait and see if it's a fad like track porting or track flex.
Guess I'll wait until a buddy buys one cause it won't be me. I personally think Skidoo needs this just to make their sled work properly. I've ridden an XP and it was a beotch to side hill compared to my outdated 900.
you do know the drivers and the rear suspension are not connected right?
exactly what im talkin about.Track will still twist between the two, wonder if this will be hard on the drive shaft bearings? Not a slam just wondering, might be something to watch out for?

With very fibre in my body I'm.........trying...........not ................to..........
Well, it is a rubber track...If anything, a stiffer track edge on an ol' skool sled will wreak more havoc on the driveshaft when sidehilling.
As for all those people who can't ride and sidehill an older XP..... I thought you were all claiming to be a higher level of riders??
Sorry not buying that train of thought, the track rods will keep the track straight while the skid is twisting it between the skid and drive shaft. Probably not an issue either way, us higher level riders don't like to work harder than we need to!!!
Welcome to the site! Great first post....What a stupid gimmick joke the t motion is. I for one cannot wait to laugh in the face of all the jacked up high on themselves doo riders when this system fails. Keep bragging softy if it makes you feel so much superior at sledding then everyone not on SKIDOO.
wouldnt the tmotion make it harder for a new rider to recover on a side hill because once they loose balance the sled will roll to the downside and make it twice as hard to pull back over?
ive only been sledding for a couple years but i still loose my balance on a side hill quite often. or does everyone think that since you have tmotion you will never loose your balance and run into this problem?
The advantage you will have with the t motion is in a downhill off camber situation where you need to "right the sled" to be on a side hill position.

i think we will see t-motion revisions in the next few years. the front arm is split so the rails can move independantly. you cant actually see it thats why most assume its a gimick. it is not.
in new revisions i think(would like) to see a new front arm with a heim joint similar to the rear arm. the get the maximum flex.
