She pretty good at keyboard jockeying?
I agree it's been beaten, yet Doo guys still seem to think anything and everything we have now is thanks to Doo which is far from the truth. As to 2003, I know what your referring to, yet fact of the matter is that the fast blade was the first rider forward sled in the late 90's. It was just ahead of it's time. Maybe you ought to research a bit without the Doo shades on.
I'll wear my Doo shades if I want, thanks though.
The Blade was not rider forward in my opinion. If it was rider forward like the Rev it probably would've made it. And I am sure for other reasons it didn't make it as well.
Racing style today, riding style ect. is attributed directly to the 2003 Rev and Blair Morgan. There is no denying it. It enabled riders to stand up more frequently. Unfortunately, it took the other big manufacturers a long while; over five years to come out with something rider forward. Doo was already on their 2nd gen rider forward by the time the others caught the REV.
Doo hasn't innovated everything, I don't think I ever heard a Doo faithful claim such a thing but there are facts you can't argue.
There is nothing wrong with the "wobble" it makes the system work. A gentleman from Quebec posted his mileage on his '17 850. 15,000 some KM nothing replaced except common wear parts. The system works.
Just waiting for snowmobiler’s grandma to show up now and outride all you guys....

A gentleman from zbroz racing told me at haydays that Ski-doo's torsion spring rear end works great. What it lacks is adjustability, that is it. Ski-doo's torsion springs setup is plenty capable.

Yes it can work really well, but either way, going from two torsion springs to one coil spring is a good way to save some weight.
Having had sleds with both types I still prefer coil springs, they seem to be easier to tune and if you have to change rear skid spring(s), which most actually do, changing one is cheaper than two.
