So torsion springs and coil springs are the same technology because a spring has been around forever?

A voice coil is an injector is it not? BRP didn't invent injectors did they? Because it uses a Lorentz style coil to drive the injector doesn't change that it is an injector.

Now if BRP came up with a way to provide fuel not using an injector, that would be a technological difference.

Uh no. Clean fire is basically fuel injection that's been around forever. Etec uses voice coils. THAT is a technological difference

So using rising rate air technology compared to the fixed rate of a wound up piece of metal is not new tech either? If you don't think that there is a significant difference there.......Holy fawk dude..........

I don't care about the details. One works better than the other plain and simple but the rear suspensions all perform the same

That I won't agree with.

One does perform differently than the other. I am not going to argue which one works better than the other as that can come down to preference in how they perform but they do not perform the same.

You prefer the Doo suspension. No problem. You are entitled to prefer whatever you like but it does not perform the same.

Maybe we bring back boggie wheels and leaf springs. They must making a come back.

I'm talking about the injection system.

Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt

LMAO Not a chance. clearly you just can't tell or can't set them up correctly. Ski Doo could put a turd on a brick and you would ride it and tell us its the most amazing sled ever. LOL

I so wanted to crack a funny with the words.. filled with the feeling of flickability... but I didn't.

I'm back on a Pro this season.. super pumped. I like what I can do on a pro, I feel more independent on a pro, especially if I get stuck. Love how I can ride the trees on the pro. I work with Main Jet Motorsports so I have been on Polaris and Cat for the past few years.
That being said, I have respect for the Doos. It feels foreign to me when I jump on a doo because of the steering. It would take some getting used to, but It could be done. Your dealership will make or break your new sled experience. You truly can't go wrong with either in my opinion, so really figure out which dealership has your six and then go from there.

Here is my 2cents on the "spring debate" lol First off I hate air shocks, except for the super expensive Fox Float Evol X's, so I'll just keep them out of this. I'm not 100% sure why skidoo continues to use the rear torsion springs on there mountain sleds instead of a coil. Coil springs would look cleaner and weigh a little less and could also give you a slightly progressive rate. Surely Skidoo's engineers are familiar with coil springs. One thing I've noticed is Polaris and Arctic Cat's snowcross race sleds still run torsion springs, why?? Maybe they handle bumps and jumps better?? Regardless I had no complaints on how the stock suspension worked on my Freeride last season on the mountains or on the trail.

Yah they do work better on the trail. Thats the reason the switchback assault is torsion spring still. Poo engineers confirmed this.

You would do this to back up your endless line of unsubstantiated claims. Alternatively, you could shut the pie hole- either one will make you improve your credibility ;)

They already did. It was called the "XP" and maxwell loved them. They were, without a doubt, one of the worst handling mountain sleds ever built.
