Why does my little 2006 M7 Arctic Cat 162" STOMP the 2008 SkiDoo XP 800 154"
I ride with a bud who has the 800 skidoo xp and all i heard before we went out is how his sled will stomp my M7 700 arctic cat. I told him it will and should cause i am 285 pounds and he's 150 pounds soaking wet. His sled is pretty close to new only has 700 or 800 k on it and mine was at the time around 1400.
His is pretty close to stock only has a few mods, It has a pipe and can but thats about it.
I have a few more then his, i went to a 162 track so i figured i would need to add a few mods to make up for my longer track and weight. I have adjustable secondary, pipe & can, air box, boysen reeds and boondocker which i have never really used or set up, my boondocker is not pluged in.
Side by side to around top end we are pretty even but i pulled away just a little when we get to top end speeds. Remember i have 135 pounds on him and a 700. The 800 SKIDOO DOO i figured would stomp me, it didn't. I am a BRP fan and just ordered a new commander but the Xp 800 disappionted me.
So then we went out west by nordeg and found a few hills to play on and i out climb the doo every time. He claims it's my gearing cause i geared everything on my sled for trail riding not mountains i run crossfire gearing. But gearing or not my sled out does his hands down. Maybe in deep deep powder he will kick my ass but i really dont believe that.
Just wondering what everyones thoughs are on this. I put my M7 up for sale cause i was going to by a new Skidoo for next winter. LOL MAYBE I BUY A NEW CAT or polaris.
