1000 Xp

[vertical]

just wondering if anyone has got anymore imfo on the rumor of a 1000 stuffed into a XP

It`s going to be a new motor and it`ll be a 950cc. They are also working on a direct drive, I`m not sure how they`ll make that work with the secondary being so high up.

They might go right into the driveshaft somehow?

to do that they would lose the foot area on the XP now. What I heard is they are trying to make a direct drive so maybe they have to change something again.

I dont know, but I do know that this is why we aren't ski-doo engineers lol

Maybe they`ll put the clutches on the other side and go straight into the chain case...of course there wouldn`t be a chain case, or jackshaft. Less parts again and their motors can already run in reverse so it shouldn`t be to hard to make that work. I believe some after market company or small builder did that already and had it at the show a few years ago.

"Direct drive" means the driven clutch drives the drive shaft, though a gear case, eliminating the jack shaft and chain case... Cat has had it for a few years (since 2004) and it is smooth, less moving parts, lighter etc. However it has not proved it's self when it comes to putting power to the ground? I have seen, over the last few years, chain case Firecats out performing the equivalent ACT drive models by a good margin This is from my own Personal experience. I still prefer the Chain Case

The chain case is nice for changing gears, anyway it was just something I heard/told.
