This years dyno HP numbers.

Im designing an electric multicolor, light infused, snow suit with built in speakers. That way people can recieve the attention that they need even when they are away from their brightly wrapped sleds.

Slim Schaede beat you to it.

This is like a deck on a half ton circus.

Ok but seriously how would put an ear bleeder, panty ripper, look at me 2000 can on an electric sled?

Where is bikeman. What altitude?

Here is his dyno runs on stock 850 after break in. Looks like 169-170hp, clutch for 8100rpm.

Yup,.. don't need 8250

All jokes inclusive, the sleds of today are really close in performance - Remember - peak power means nothing, so you can put zero stock in any of these posted numbers. Even moreso for mountain sleds who run up in elevation. These numbers are corrected to sea level for optimal parameters, not 5000 ft in Revy at 95% humidity with 2 ft of snow on the hood and high pipe / air intake temps. HP is only a calculated #, move the torque to just the right spot in the RPM range and you can gain 10 HP just in the calculation. Mountain riding is so throttle variable that its unlikely you are on peak power for more than a few seconds or a minute maybe at a time.

Hell, we used to have a 340 race sled that made 100+ HP....at 12000 RPM... for 1000 ft with BSFCs way too low for trail running. For comparison - in 1994 Cat dyno'd the 700 Wildcat at over 140 HP. Again, this was on a cold pipe and crazy lean.....and even sounds like this Unicorn Poo 174 HP # was on a lean tune....The 900 cc T-cat came factory with 162 HP. So 24 yrs later and 50 cc's less and we are mustering a whooping 10 HP more... but a triple - triple was not known for being a great mountain sled (qualifier - I'm completely disregarding the fact that todays sleds are much lighter (except for Yamaha's haha) and better handling...but you get the point).

We probably don't need a fancy measurement technique - We should just be looking at average corrected torque and HP between 6000 and 7500 on crate sleds after break in. This will give the average values in the actual riding RPM range and eliminates the statistical outliers on the bell curve at each end. CVT works more efficient at lower RPM... and...Of course this looks only at the HP equation and discounts any other factors i.e. Ability to keep clutches cool will get more traction to ground, an underpowered sled with a great track design will outperform many sleds with stronger motors, or poor suspension calibration causing trenching etc.

Very similar numbers to what Dynotech produced on their testing. A very nice power package, and probably quite a bit more to be had with the power adders companies will develop! Can't wait!!!
