i recently attended an event with several other riders who were invited to discuss with a moderator the direction for new sled builds for the year 2021. although no manufacturers names were mentioned, it seemed clear that ac/textron was behind the discussion, many aspects of sled design were discussed. it was interesting that the moderator brought up the interest riders might have in a factory turbo, two stroke. he also asked how many riders present had turbos, price spent, etc. other questions and discussion centered around the importance of different design concepts, what was important, what was not. also asked about our impressions of all the 4 major brands, advantages and disadvantages. 4 concept drawings were shown, and input from the attendees was solicited as to design features. it seemed clear that whoever did the sled renditions was not very experienced in sled function, etc. maybe someone with mostly trail experience. anyway, it's clear that they were thinking about and testing the interest level of a pump-gas turbo, with warranty and price point for sales. :face-icon-small-ton
