Last weekend I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take an 08 Rev XP 800 for a ride. Talk about dissapointment. It was awful. I'm certainly hoping the production version will be much better than the prototype I rode. It "darted" from side to side so bad it was virtually unsafe to ride in soft snow. On the trail it was marginally better however still wretched. The hood on the machine was already broken from a previous rider being tossed over the bars by a sudden dart to the left the sled decided to take on its own. The motor felt very similar to this years 800 but it sure is light. You can just about do arm curls while lifting the front end of the sled. 425 lbs!!! My other advice to potential buyers would be buy an extra pair of Helly Hansen long underwear because your gonna need it, it's COLD!!! That being said I have faith that Ski-doo will release a much more refined version than the one I rode. However I won't be trading my 900 Polaris on one any time soon!
