I’ve had a couple fail on different sleds back in the 90’s riding in fields… Usually take out the case too. I’d much rather have a belt blow on the mountain then a exploded chain case.

That can’t be right,riding on a kids sled as been mentioned about NA‘s.Its nearly impossible to get to alpine on a NA lol!
Dallas actually went back to NA after his 22 turbo. Too much fuel and oil consumption lolThat can’t be right,riding on a kids sled as been mentioned about NA‘s.Its nearly impossible to get to alpine on a NA lol!

There’s 2 guys I ride with that rode turbo‘s for 6 years,after market ones till doo’s early release in 2020 then new one every year till this year.They’re both back on NA’s and really liking it. They’re hardcore riders that ride a lot in hills.
Not sure if some of the younger riders realize most riding area‘s were conquered long before turbo’s were ever a thing.I had the pleasure of riding with guys in the NA only period and we layed some first tracks on some mountains in the Robson Valley.Not first of the season tracks but first ever tracks.

The old school thinking that an N/A sled loses huge HP at elevation no longer applies today.
The old 3% for every 1000ft was a carb. sled but with EFI and MAP sensors sleds today do a good job holding HP.
They still lose HP but less then 2%, while the turbo version creates its own atmosphere continue to maintain.
In most all your BC riding zones N/A sleds are running closer to 150-155hp vs the turbo 170hp, it takes a lot of HP to gain 1mph track speed but 1mph make's a big difference in certain snow conditions.
So yes turbo sleds put more track speeds down for them early deep days vs an N/A but the balance of the season.
