There's a few 2-stroke ripchargers in the valley to compare with right now. Weight is still #1 importance for me and 4-strokes.

If it's a boosted 4 stoker, that's a huge let down. Those are so yesterday. Now a boosted 600 or 800 2 stoker or a big block, then we have something to take about. As long as it doesn't weigh the same as the old RT 1000 did.

Don't get caught up in the hype

Go over to DT too, it's all ridiculous Hype.
Hey, I've always been a Doo guy. I have been caught up in all the New model year release bs previously i.e. Mach z 1000, 07' 800r in the Rev Chassis, 08' XP. I have made that "must have" mistake too many times to care anymore. I for one, will not be buying any new sled either new motor or chassis until BRP does their own testing/tuning.

Guys, I got to spend the weekend with the doo snox team out here..

There is a new 180 class 2 stroke coming this winter, late but this winter..

of course its etech but no turbo ,, they like them but not enuf to be the first to offer one on a 2 stroke until there are at least 20,000 spare e tech engines on hand for replacement !!!!!( just funning,,easy aero guys):humble:

They are trying to get the injector pricing down to 3-400 each too,,( that is serious though ) at this time its much higher....

anytime you burn or deto a psiton it fouls the injector tip. luckily they are working very hard to make the price come down..:face-icon-small-hap

I was surprised to hear BRP is offering a single ski option on their new chassis. I wonder if it will really help with sidehilling.
