I believe this will be my next new sled. Price tag is a little high, but over all I think this will be sled that will get me where I want to go.
The weight thing can be fixed by horsepower. I have a buddy who is 300#, rides an turbo Nytro @ 260 HP 163" X3 and he enjoys the mountains as much as the next guy riding a 425# Pro RMK with 155" track.
Whether its Nytro or Pro, they are all heavy when lifting in waist deep snow with the skid full of snow. Besides, you know you are having a great day when you are digging out your buddies and seeing the smiles and snow covered hoods.
Now tell me if an extra 50# or 80# is going to make a difference to get this poor Doo out. Wished I was there to help out!

Actually your statement is not exactly accurate. There has and is currently allot of R&D of the 4S motors developed and tested that are no more than 10% - 15% in weight than a 2S 800 with much greater HP & Torque... However the questions remains when or will it ever be put into production.
Just saying...

I'm 238lbs... Maybe 245 after breakie lol .... 5' 11" ... That's no gear!! So with my gear, av pack, shovel and my 4L of water and my 16" Zalas Pizza .. Gotta be pushing 255lbs.
There is weight to shed.. Exhaust, seat, battery "I'm told 50+ pounds"... Please correct me on that if need be.
I put more miles on rolling mine than driving .. Nope no oil.. All good .. Trust me on that one!!

Interesting....there is also engines that have been R&D and tested made of polymers and ceramics. It means nothing unless it is in a production unit so yes 4strokes are a lot heavier then its counter part and will always remain so. So Clode statement is accurate.

I haven't seen to many of these in full production, maybe reliability and COST are a limiting factor.

Pinko get in touch with me and I'll see what I can do to get you on one for a day.
On the rider weight thing I have been saying this for a long time it doesn't matter if your 250lbs or 150lbs you don't need to be a big guy to ride these sleds. I'm a lightweight (160lbs) and can toss a 4 stroke around just like a 2 stroke. Trick is setup and bar positioning same with any sled make it your own and become familiar with it. As for rolling them out of stucks solo I had no issues and nobody else did either. They pop out of the snow and roll out just as easy as any other sled out there.
I see an easy 50lbs to be shed from this sled with the above mentioned modifications, and please stay tuned for details and pricing on MCX upgrades we will he handling all of the MCX turbos for North America from Vernon Motorsports
Thanks to everyone who came out to ride the new sleds for the day. We were the first "Demo ride" worldwide to ride these sleds and your feedback is appreciative. I'm glad everyone enjoyed them as much as I did. If anyone would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks alot E-Z! Likely won't be until late December or early Jan. Really want to compare one to my PC.

That is a 100% stock sled ? No muffler/can mods at all?

There are some aftermarkets producing big power for not much investment. One just announced 250HP WITHOUT touching the ECU so no warranty issues (so they say). Added a fuel controller and exhaust.. Those testing the Cat versus the Yammi are saying the Cat clutches are allowing for a few more MPH on top, but the Yammi clutches are running cooler and easier on belts at the cost of those extra mph the cat provides. I think Yammi did a super job on this build!
Spend time on HardcoreSledder in the 4 stroke turbo section and there is ton of information coming out, most, if not al,l is good news.

I can't imagine this sled with 250 hp, with the extra torque you will need velcro added to the bars!
