Noticed that detail too. Nice when the engineering team gets into fine-tuning the product. Also may allow for better snow evacuation in the tunnel. This may be the first sled I literally do not touch other than clutching/suspension tuning.
Think Im getting the 163 T3. Sounds like a good unit. Kinda sucks that I have to spend 3g on new shocks for a brand new sled. Wish Skidoo would put decent shocks on there Top of the line mountain sled.... one of these years they'll listen to me...lol

It appears the 3" only comes in yellow and no e-start.
I cant stand the yellow and honestly it turns me off the thought of that thing blinding me everytime i see it....looks well suited for white sunglasses
I think Doo used the phrase "turn up the volume" at least two times....Loud is not nessassarily a good thing, Doo.
If yellow was such a popular color there would be yellow cars on the road and we all know only cabs and peeps wearing white sunglasses have a yellow ride.
boooo!
Correct me if I'm wrong but were there not more color choices for regular X models for 14?

kind of, red and black, black and red, or white black and red LOL
love the yellow but they better release at least a black model for the yellow haters. skidoo needs help with color options. the colors they choose are usually nice but for a spring check you need to have 5 options not 1 or 2
