I'm still riding my XM but am considering a new Gen 4, which I don't know that much about so i'm going to ask the dumb question. The Expert model comes with the shorter tunnel, is the thinking behind the short tunnel, when you're hill climbing or doing wheelies, the tunnel won't drag in the snow or ? If I can find a leftover 2020 Expert in the black and orange I may have to throw down.

It allows better snow evacuation when climbing and doesn't interfere as much when turning out or doing a re-entry.

I'm not much into doing re-entries, but where I really found the cut down tunnel helps is in the "pin and wiggle" for saving me from a stuck! A VERY violent pin and wiggle makes it amazing what these will pop out of!

And I will second "JungleJim" on the Pin and Wiggle, it works on that chassis. For some reason if I need to try that on my Polaris it wiggles down to where it high centers on the running boards. Not so much on the Doo. Funny how different things work for different chassis, It's not like the Polaris has wider boards either. Lucky I usually don't get in that situation too often to be a deciding factor on one sled going farther than the other. I believe it is most likely the track on the Doo that is to the credit.

Right on, thanks for the replies. I found a brand new Expert with a 165 in the color I was looking for, for sale at a dealership not too far from where I live, I didn't really want a 165 but may consider it if the price is right.

takes more HP to process snow thru a longer tunnel. shorter tunnel = more HP available to move you forward.
