Hey Maxwell, this is a perfect example of how much G4 wheelies affect climbing ability. Classic case rt there. The track is barley(sp) on the snow, and the skis are 3 ft in the air. Ewww. It’s a frickin useless pogo stick. No traction, just spin, no momentum. Dude has to let off to control the sled. G4 sucks but most of the sleds are Doo, therefore they are the best. Doo owners are so dum. I own a doo. Hmmmmm.

Maybe it’s a 154” 2.5”. May the excuses and denials soar they the pages of Doo and Mud. Bahahahaha

If you wheelie in the climb you are missing the boat. LMFAO!!!

Of course the sled will wheelie, but if the wheelie hinders the handling and climbing ability, the sled sucks ballz. I present the video as evidence. The sled sucked, wore out the rider and may be wrapped around a tree. Not fun to me but then Doo riders are an odd bunch. Hahaha. Funny Norona never posts stucks or sketchy riding/climbing. Hmmmm.

I am looking frwd to the new chassis. I gave up on performance improvements to the g4 as did all the reputable aftermarket peeps minus the clutch guys who live, eat, sleep Doo clutching. Can’t wait to spend a bunch of mental time making it better. Nothing new in the sled world for a few years now.

Thats a good example of a poorly setup sled, the 850 doo is a good sled, and even better when setup properly.

Yea, it seems not to go anywhere, even when poaching. Definitely missing a large portion of performance.

As much as I hate the g4, I feel it is the best sled for new to intermediate riders. Doo has all the accessories and well made products.

That sled doesn’t sound right and you can hear the RPM fading hard coming in and out of load. Sum ting Wong

Nothing to do with the chassis I could pull that hill on my 154 2.5”

Doo needs a new chassis big time. Less weight/narrower boards/different suspension/actual hood vents to keep the engine bay below 300f/floating secondary/get rid of brake rotor housing and chaincase in footwells. the list go on. Drive a cat or poo and you see how fast the doo is a distant 3rd in chassis. Turbo smurbo crap chassis

Max and the Minions are gonna make you pay for putting that out there.

What can i say, some guys purchase a sled and because they spent their hard earned money on it, its the best thing ever. Then theres the guys that actually ride them all and know the difference. The SKIDOO chassis could get lighter without a doubt but at the end of the day Power is king. Weight is the only thing polaris chassis has on it. The rest of the Polaris chassis is just plain wrong. Running boards included. The engineering is a train Wreck, But its kind of hard to look away because guys keep buying them and thats entertaining.

No one that starts riding in the mountains ever buys a Second Polaris. If you do its only because you just LOVE them, no other reason, because its certainly not a performance driven decision LOL. Hey i get it, i like my GMCs too, they arent the lightest truck but theyve treated me well.

The SKIDOO chassis must get way lighter without a doubt but at the end of the day Yamaha Turbo Power is king. Weight is the only thing Doo chassis has on it. The rest of the Doo chassis is just plain wrong. Running boards included. The clutching and engineering is a train Wreck, But its kind of hard to look away because guys keep buying Doos and thats entertaining.

Fixed it for you!
Sorry about that, bored at work.

The N/A Polaris 840 has more HP than the N/A Doo by a couple. The Doo however does feel like it has a bit more torque. So if power is king, come on over. Or you will all need to spend $25k for a turbo Doo if you want it with 4 years warranty. Everything else just plain works better on the Polaris for extreme riding. But let's say you want the T850 for 4 years. Do you really think by then it's going to match performance of the 2024 sleds? and what will it be worth as soon as anything with more power is released? It might not be Polaris that ups the game, it might be BRP with the next chassis with more power.

The real question is: Would the T850 have made that impossible climb or would it have wheelied over?

Sorry were talking about mountain sleds here. what is the N/A you speak of? i think thats old technology and irrelevant now. Considering we ride at elevation i think we can only compare compensated machines.

N/A sleds are great around the farm

LMAO

Wow, I'm sure you were not bad-mouthing them this past Fall? Funny how the best sled in the world (N/A G4) is now only good on the farm. Good thing for me that I find good riding as low as 4000ft. Is the Doo turbo worth it at that elevation?
