Kind of looks like the new cat.

Ok, well we all want different things from our sleds. Make fun of me if you want, that's ok. Obviously Doo will build whatever will suit the main market/ desires of sledders. Which isn't necessarily our type of rider. I'm just saying, for me and what we do, they're kinda wimpy. We put our older Revs through way more abuse and they were stronger in most areas, not everywhere, there are impact areas on the xp that are tougher. I have been nice to this sled, not bashing it into everything like when I was learning to ride....
And yes, going down the trail at about 15 mph both drop brackets bent in and snapped, wrinkled the entire tunnel, no the running boards weren't really bent before that or any other damage or wrecks. I'm not the only one that's happened to. The dealer here even said this year a guy in the shop put his knee on one so they could release the clamp that holds the suspension collapsed in shipping and it buckled the tunnel. Is that ok for a $12K sled?
I would love to see stress areas stronger- tunnel, running boards, drop brackets, bumpers. I mean, the xp's running boards don't even connect to the tunnel on the back. But if that isn't needed by others and doesn't happen, I'll just keep doing it myself. I don't care as much about taking a few pounds off the sled as I do about making it stronger, has to be a middle ground. They keep getting more expensive, so we should expect more improvements, not just special looking plastics.
Sorry if that makes me a moron? Guess I'm just tougher on sleds than most people?
Hey, no idea how it would work or if they would ever do it, but it's something that nobody would ever expect and I have heard a couple people talking about it... Just thought I would put it on here to see if anybody else had heard anything similar. Either way, whatever they put out should be pretty sweet!
Maintenance, ya. I can't even explain how much maintenance I do on my sleds. My clutches are cleaned, often, bolts checked, carbs cleaned, I'm not a ride it and ignore it type of person. I didn't say 15 mph caused the brackets to break, I can't say exactly what did and neither could anybody else. Nobody found any obvious causes, but that's how it happened. Looking at it nobody could believe it. And it doesn't go to the dealers cause I don't really trust them, some of those mechanics have caused more problems than fixed.
I don't see how a knee on a tunnel can buckle it if it's strong enough for mountain riding. Is that really what people expect now? For them to be that fragile? I think everyone's idea of mountain riding is different. I'm not expecting a sled that will be tailored to what I want, but after I buy it, it will get modified to get there. The market is demanding lighter, more nimble. That's great, but I don't really need it lighter for me personally. It's set up to handle great the way it is. It's not my priority to have a 430 lb sled. It is a balance, I just hope they remember that and don't focus quite so much on lowering the weight since there are sacrifices that are made to get it there. Too many people seem to focus on weight weight weight without realizing what that involves.
Maybe that's part of it, that the older sleds were stronger in each component, so a little tweak or stress on one didn't take out everything else. Every little piece is more reliant on everything else on these sleds, that's a good point. Tough though if its a tiny stress in an unseen spot, you can't always find it.
I've read this five times now and still dont understand what you are trying to say at all?
Looks like the "old" xp with new plastic.
Thought
Think outside the box, this isn't about 2 skis, a motor and a track anymore! The new XPR will be so technically advanced it will leave others in shame, while they were working on running board technology our fellow Canadians are progressing how the snowmobile gets from point A to point B. Think about how a jet propels water in a watercraft, now apply SOME of that thought to the snow! This mountain specific SUMMIT is going to be the talk of the town..... No wait.... The mountain!
Nobody has got this yet!?!?!?!
Is it a fixed position or moveable position?
The jet propels the craft but also moves
