Ski-Doo 2023 REVEAL

[turboless terry]

Nope, haven't rode one, but would like to. Stagnant is more than fair with regard to dry weight, as discussed. Would be good to see some weights after running around in the snow, but that's easier said than done. If you're talking about things like "feels lighter," I'll happily defer to someone who owns one, but that's obviously not what I was saying.

That's fine but they are better in every way. People get too fixated on dry weight. 408 was an 800. They have lost weight but haven't made it up with what they gained. You could put a single cylinder in it if so concerned but how would it run? So i guess i don't think stagnant is fair. Apples to oranges

I went with the big gauge in hopes that it will include buddy tracking by the time they are released or shortly after. That is not a difficult software addition to make, IMO.

I agree that dry weights are just part of the story, and blindly cutting weight usually means bad compromises. Seeing the Matryx gain weight was kind of a disappointment, but considering how much heavier my sled's tail is after a day of riding, I can believe the Slash is actually significantly lighter in practice. No question it's better to ride. I'm still hoping for some real movement in terms of lighter weight in the next 5-10 years; the technology is there, but I don't think any accounting department would green-light the R&D investment, given the market.

Is it true the warranty is only two years now …? Is that on all models ? That’s brutal

 

[TreeThrasher]

Sure would like some more info on the fancy gauge…im out on it unless;

I can text or email from to my crew and/or

It has buddy tracking

Yes - unfortunately that is true.

Two lousy years of warranty coverage. It was 4, then 3, now 2.

Totally lame.

 

[Jimlad]

That’s a massive deal breaker for me … holy crap. Can’t keep a machine two seasons and sell without losing a huge amount now, I definitely don’t make enough money to flip sleds every year

 

[Devilmanak]

It doesn't cost much to flip every year if you take care of your stuff. Been on that program for ten years now, and trust me, I ain't rich, lol. With 2-3 sleds per year. I sold my 21 146 Freeride for $250 less than I paid brand new, with 901 miles. Can't beat that.

 

[caper11]

Cool thanks.
If the nav on the new gauge Didn’t need a app, I probably would of got it In the hopes of the group ride to be added at a later date.

I do not feel comfortable at the moment having my phone on to use nav on that new gauge. I’m probably overthinking it but I’m not a avalanche beacon expert, I’m just remembering my avy training.

 

[caper11]

Yes - unfortunately that is true.

Totally lame.

It was two years on my first turbo. The 2020.5 turbo were one year.

so how much off of MSRP is your dealer giving you to be able to do this? Do you pay setup& freight? Most dealers I know are very proud of their snow checks.

 

[Pinchecharlie]

Two years is at least good coverage for large repairs isn't it? I have a year old competitors sled with a 1k dollar repair that's not covered at all lol.

 

[Jimlad]

It is but the resale gets nuked selling a turbo sled without warranty. I for sure wouldn’t buy one

Than it’s your loss, you probably won’t by a NA sled without warranty as well. Both are just as reliable.

 

[Jimlad]

I have a turbo. I just wouldn’t buy a used one without warranty

I'm wondering if skidoo will let us flash the 22 skidoo to the 180 hp and not lose our warranty

 

[turboless terry]

Doubt that because it will take away 23 sales

 

[Jimlad]

The ecu , injectors and other components are also apparently different so it’s more than just a tune

no cause you would need all this
revised cylinder head - better spark plug cooling
new injectors
reinforced cvt components
reinforced chain
new airbox
new ecu

 

[ziggity]

Brutal theres only 2 years warranty even ordering a NA, big difference from the 4 years i got on my 19.
