I've been thinking the same about the Sidekick for a couple months now...
A little bit different pricing I'll bet.
Thinking the same thing.
I think Poo see's the market for factory turbo sleds is too small to make it worth their while. Sleds already have enough problems without having to mess with a turbo. Sorry I forgot all turbo sleds are pull and go, never need any adjustments or tuning
Don't see them doing much for '17, BNG's, colour options etc. I think they're waiting to see what Doo does, and for '18 if needed will have a reply without having to go completely nuts.
All that's needed would be a slightly more aggressive exhaust setup. Clearly there's HP left on the table when almost everyone who tries to make a pipe is seeing 8-10HP gains, between that and dropping anywhere between 5-10lbs on the can as well…. Wouldn't be toooo difficult for them to add 5HP and lose 7Lbs. Think we'd all be for that ?

BNG and fix their track clips on the 155s is my guess.

Since we are dreaming...
Electric A/C motor driven sled utilizing the same motor Tesla is using. No more clutches, motor sits where jackshaft is. Hood now encompasses batteries. Instant throttle response. Nobody complaining about noise.
300 pounds all in. (seriously, this is what i'm waiting for...)

Its funny that they advertise that they dont need any tuning, but all the boondocker "athletes" are raving about their vohk tuned sidekick's. Means they still need to be optimized to the sled and rider.

Or meaning they are sponsored by Vohk...

My understanding is that VOHK did the Sidekick tuning. Maybe that's what they mean.

Tuning also deals with clutching for turbos. VOHK "tuned" sleds are impeccable. From mapping to the clutching they are so dialed and reliable.
LOL, The "Sidekick" needs no tuning......The rest of the sled needs it for the sidekick.
I wonder what it would cost to buy one of these Vohk RMK's? Because they sure seem to run incredible.

and you can run it for 20min between charges

Currently, yeah, battery life would be an issue. But I still say its a future that'd be good for everyone in 10-15 years. (not just for environmental reasons but for performance...)
A motor that would out last the sled, wouldn't that be something?
the sidekick definitely needs tuning. I'm not sure what you guys are defining tuning as but if you don't ride at the same elevation all the time it is going to need to be tuned for specific elevations. Clutching, fueling, ect.

Isn't Competition great!
Polaris raised the bar in 2016 considerably and now look at what Ski-Doo and others are doing in 2017! If rumors are true then the bar will be raised a bunch by Ski-Doo in 2017. Again competition is great!
