163 vs. 154 = more weight.
ETEC vs. PTEK engine = more weight.
I wonder where the rest comes from?
So why are ski doos so heavy?

Yes, and I did forget to mention that the xm has electric start. Must add 1t # or so...It's certainly not apples to apples, but I tginknits interesting.

Personally I'm not going to concern myself with weight anymore. Today, ALL sleds are manageable. I drove an axys 155 last year and a viper before that.. You can do what you want with either if you take the time to get used to it and set it up how you like. As long as its not bending out of shape or cracking off I couldn't care less how much it weighs when it comes off the assembly line..
That 08 was the first year of the XP, the year Doo had the 399# TNT, and the 425# Summit. I was writing service then, and they were folding up like Popsicle sticks. We were dumping them with heavy discounts by the end of the season, the sled got rapped pretty hard on the web The XP added #'s every year since it's inception
Couldn't agree with you more, I still ride a 08 Yamaha turbo nitro that I really enjoy riding and can go pretty much anywhere the two stroke can.
I also just picked up my 0-14 Summit XM and that's what I'll be riding for a while as well.
That being said, there is something to be said for like weight
That way be, I did buy the 08 a few years back just for weight, it had served me well and I haven't had any chassis issue besides a mild tweak in the flying nun.
