I was able to ride the new 850 turbo for the last three days up at Chappell in Valemount, groundhog and foam in blue river. Thanks to pines psm in Prince Albert. The turbo was an awesome sled. It performed perfectly for the three days in which we rode it. The throttle response was bang on, we all experienced zero turbo lag with the sled. When riding the sled it actually feels lighter, however I'm sure it's because of the extra power it produces and gets that track spinning faster. It gets out on top of the snow a lot quicker then the NA 850's. We tried to ride the sleds up some hills to get a comparison on how they work against the NA 850's. The NA 850's made it up the hills that we were climbing,however we had to work hard to make it to the top were as the turbo you were letting off of the throttle part way upthe climb. It's a blast in the trees with that power. I'm getting old so I didn't have to ride like I was out of control. With the extra track speed it would pop out of the snow right away and go. I felt the throttle response was excellent when you were riding on and off the throttle repeatedly in the trees. All I can say is hats off to the rotax guys in Austria for building this new turbo.
