Any idea if it has the belt drive? Added the C3 belt drive to an SHR 860, and it made a noticeable improvement. Haven't had enough time to test durability, but otherwise impressed. Bored carbs next. Etecs w/ turbo's and the boost numbers I've heard people being able to run w/ them, would be hard pressed to keep up w/ the big bores when setup properly for most conditions. I have a turbo before anyone starts to disagree w/ me, granted it is not Etec. Seen the same thing w/ Polaris 860's and low boost turbos.
Watching Micku ride makes me feel like a stiff old man, and I'm only 32. He moves around quicker than my kids when they are trying to convince themselves they don't have to pee.
On straight long pulls the Turbo has the advantage but on /off technical climbs the BB will shine, been there done that.everything has its place

are you kidding? that thing is pointed up non stop. It looks like he is constantly fighting it from turning up. Imagine that guy on a sled that CAN actually sidehill....
also, in the first part of that vid, does he have the limiter straps out or somethin? i havent seen an 880 xp before but the 860s ive seen would not even come CLose to pullin the skis up like that....

ya the pre planned routes that burandt takes are sooo much easier than the lines in that segment... :clap2:
EDIT: just to clarify... this was sarcasm
Then maybe he could even lose an ecu, voltage regulator, or top end and have to be towed out! It's all in the operator, some prefer how the XP handles and some don't. I will take the XP any day. BTW, this IS a Doo forum ya know!:face-icon-small-win
I'll say it again. If you can't sidehill an XP, you need to grab hold of your man purse and go hang out with other metro-sexuals and their wives. I can sidehill all day long, BOTH DIRECTIONS with ease on my ancient old XP.
And I HAVE seen 860s pull like that. Phelan has a XP rider with an 860 that pulls like that.
You always get those Sheep in here.
And yeah, I think that kid hands down will be a more technical rider than Burandt.

I blame cory micku's segment in heavy metal 2 for the reason i bought an 07 800r. That guy can ride.

I was being sarcastic. Yeah, I do know what ancient is, I started riding on a 1995 Summit. And I could sidehill that thing.

Did someone say XP's are hard to sidehill?
DAMN...Just can't Sidehill an XP
DAMN...Just can't Sidehill an XP
nope not sidehillable.
Im sure it was worth.

the 3 lb nitrous bottle hidden under the side pannel helps quite a bit, but yeah corey is an awesome rider
Trygstad's website says the 872 etech is ready. Might be sooner than you think!
