2018 Skidoo Predictions?

[skegpro]

New year, new rumors.

1. Updated clutching.

2. Re-designed chinesium bulkhead. Or sway bar removed.

4. Carbon fiber coolent bottle.

5. Space age coil over rear suspension.

7. X package will come with Elka stage 5s.

8. Factory Turbo.

9. Snow check exclusive Maxwell bobble head.

And go........

 

[kanedog]

A truly pull and go flawless game changer.

 

[JMCX]

20lbs heavier.

 

[teeroy]

hopefully a guy can get the bobblehead without having to snocheck

I think bold new graphics and a focus on elimination of reliability and durability. The only time your rewarded with a maxwell bottlehead is when you do major damage and did not take out tree and rock insurance. A turbo version will come out in 2019 if they take care of what I identify in the first sentence.

Major pieces are there.

Clutching issues IMO are calibration based. Factory or aftermarket there will be a fix

In terms of durability, few small changes there again IMO. Adding 3-5lbs in the casting in the bulkhead would go a long way if put in the right places.

Would not be surprised to see a new rear skid next year. Something that is a blend of a t-motion and a lighyweight PPS skid. The PPS works really well... just heavy.

Sorry to many acronym s in my life, what does PPS stand for?

10% increase in belt prices due to short supply. All the 850's are eating them at an alarming rate.

There is a rumor, BRP is merging with Polaris after the Gen 4 flop and a Gen 5 is in the works. A redemption model type hybrid or mongrel. The Gen 5, PooDoo or DooPoo, stay tuned more to come at your nearest dealer.

That almost happened 12 years ago...lol

Calibrated clutches
New engine calibration
15% less oil consumption
Gain of 10lbs to beef up bulkhead but no change in dry weight rating in the brochure
Easier to read display (colour?)
Same crap skid and shocks
Possibly a 35lb heavier Freeride model

I am. My wife's 850 rocks. I hope there is a 174 option at minimum.

Ill be spring checking a 3in freeride if there is one, can't say I find it worthwhile changing my 16t3 for a gen 4 and doing the whole shock chassis upgrade if they dont have a freeride. they need to figure out the bulkheads and clutching. gen 4s do ride amazing tho.

Be sweet if they made a 163" 3" Freeride.

That would be a bad ass sled, Axys with the Doo 850 motor

Much much lower sales volume.
No changes from 17s.
