Could be a bubble in your oil line.... Could outweigh its previous chasis..... Could vibrate all the nuts and bolts out...... Oh wait... Cat might sue them for copying their idea to put out a successor sled chasis with more problems then the old one... I bet that would make them jealous!!! LOL.

First problem will be the T-motion snapping after a few hard landings.

Honestly I think the biggest problem is having to listen to and read posts of the non-believers, riding their old technology.

I have a problem with the new XM....Canadian pricing.....

huh??

thats why the hold their resale value?? so if you buy the new sled for 2k cheaper you will sell it for 2k cheaper 3 years down the road... where is the savings here? Perfect example is a Polaris Pro ya 1500 hun cheaper but its worth 1500 less in a year so same same right?

and if we all brought them from the USA they would ALL be worth less therefore no savings?

please explain to us??

back on topic.....

I was also fearful of the new design year after owning a 08xp but I am also hoping for no major set backs. they have put some hard miles on the xm and the chassis seems to be holding up. I am pretty sure BRP doesnt want a repeat of the XP first year lol


come on winter

If you take a look at the tmotion there will be no snapping of this. Especially since it moves very minimal. And once airborne it would go back to straight anyways. The front arm is the same but split...


The rear arm heim joint is very beefy. You will be breaking bones before that skid.

The chassis has been out since 2008 so I would expect it to be trouble free.
