Wow AJ I’ll lie to my friends and you can lie to
Yours but let’s not lie to each other bud lmao. Id say Polaris threw some green ones at Them to boost their shrinking market share and lack of boosted innovation. I find the track thing hilarious, more Polaris owners are putting skidoo tracks or skidoo knockoff tracks on their machines than ever before. 2.75 is never better than 3” lol!! Speaking for real mountain riders. The Polaris is light sure, and that’s great, maybe it’s easier to get unstuck, maybe it requires less effort, that’s to be debated but I’ll give him that one. You can do math until your face is blue, the proof is on the snow, when it’s 3ft deep at 6500+ feet there is no comparison between the two. Really interesting how his findings are so opposite to guys that ride 100+ days a year in real snow.

There is not one snowmobiler in the world that would ride these 2 machines back to back in deep snow at high elevation and say the Polaris works better with a straight face.

Where did he get the 155 vs 168 hp lmfao?!? Blatantly false. I’ve seen above 165 at sea level on the turbo.

Anyways. Can’t believe I watched that entire thing i should have just turned on CNN

If you buy a Polaris it’s because your comfortable on it and it works for you, or maybe you have a good dealer. Not because it’s the best performing snowmobile available.
Remember Sean. Only in the age of fake news could Skidoo keep losing HP in their top of the line mountain sled even with a turbo bolted on. But this is what we have to deal with in the age of misinformation.

Did this thread go sideways or am I just reading it wrong?? What was it about again? Something about Maxwell being washed up and moving to a touring sled with training wheels?

it started sideways with an attempt to correct the course. But anything with my name and Polaris involved is usually doomed.

There have been years that Doo lost HP and years they gained HP for no obvious publish reason but I agree with you there is nothing I have seen that would indicate they are less than 165 HP. The N/A G4 on the other hand seems better than previous. Likely though the better performance could be linked to loss of weight, better clutching and short tunnel in some models.

forsure. If you get on a 2017 Summit x and then a 2021 Expert NA. they are 2 completely different machines with the same engine, track, chassis and drivetrain

This ^^^^ I don't understand. How can they be completely different machines, other than a snow flap and skinner bars? That really makes zero sense. Generally that means people believe what they want to believe.

i dont know, you would have to ride them back to back to understand what im talking about but minor clutching, gearing, fuel mapping, geometry changes and shorter tunnel really change a snowmobile. Its not that it feels like it has 20 more HP it just feels more refined and feels like its working better than its predecessor. Its a good thing.

Here is the gospel truth, I ride Chrisco's sled tons when he is wheezing and coughing up blood and I steal Niners sled all the time when he is off playing with himself trying to figure out his sexuality and I will state this to be true to myself being the doo owner and now infected with the doo virus. 1 the polaris is an amazing sled that grows on me every time I ride it, no real complaints other than the ****ty track and rear shock, pretty minor and I would own one in a heartbeat, 2 The Alpha feels like a hooker on cocaine, get on it and hang on for dear life cuz you never really know where you will end up cuz its crazy responsive in the handling and it is so damn efficient that we are always amazed how well it does in every snow condition. 3 My doo, it took me 3 rides to start liking it and no complaints, not even the t motion affects me which I thought would, great power, no bogs ever, and the floatation is amazing, not trying to sound like a braggart but I can even ride with Maxwell and sort of keep up! The best part of our group, including Dragonweld is that we all criticize our sleds in a positive way and we are all competitive so we keep pushing each other, next trip out Crisco and Dragonweld will be duking it out for king of the hill and I will be sitting at the bottom trying to help Niner with his gender confusion.
