So, snow checked a G5 and started to wonder if they will be delivered on time. No one will know until then but it got me to thinking, was the hold up on the SkiDoo's last year the gauge and ECM?

I totally agree with you. Hope all goes well…..

true
but likely FAR LESS so that component UNavailability.
Working with manufacturers, including a Tier 1 supplier to sled and automotive OEMs, the only prediction is more unpredictability right now. Anything coming out of ghina is a blindfolded dart toss. Scarce resources will go to the strongest customer relationships. Labor has become more stable and predictable. Materials and costs not so much. Watch how the three deliver ORVs in the next 90 days, that will be an indication of how well they got it managed.

I ordered a Polaris RZR Pro November 13th 2021 and it's STILL sitting on "confirmed"

China is still a mess, and as of today it looks like Bejing and its 25 million residents are about to go into FULL LOCKDOWN for the very first time.
DEglobilization is now the key phrase being used by American Manufacturers.

So you’re saying Doo is on track to deliver the 2025s on time then?
C
There were a lot of sleds that were delivered on time In 2022.
Ordering anything right now is a gamble on delivery.
With the price of gas and fuel right now, if any manufacturer in powersports screws up on delivering on time, I feel it will definitely hurt.

And even MOAR that weren't .
We are all hoping this does NOT happen this fall again.
Yep your not wrong.
I’m trying to stay hopeful, and positive, my cup is half full, lol.
I sold my turbo, I’m sledless.

I think we're all hopeful. I held on to my 2020 until my 2023 shows up. I would rather have a sled then no sled.......
Can't speak with authority on this.

I suspect BRP and Polaris will move Heaven and Earth NOT to get beat up again next season.
The fact that Doo and Poo cut orders and made up for it with. big price increases, and limited certain options, indicates to me that someone in those companies took a hard look at their production capabilities and suppliers and made a realistic estimate of what they could deliver on time.
If Poo or Doo blow it again this year, then Cat will be ready to swoop in with promises of their new 2026 models.

All manufacturers are lacking right now. Try getting a new diesel pickup within 6 mths, the GM HD went up 2g and lost features.
For Polaris they usually shut down their snowmobile line for the summer, this year I believe they kept one production line open and continue to build sleds nonstop. Hopefully everyone that spring ordered will get theirs on time.
what's a typical price increase from year to year? i just compared my 2020 Freeride's price to what a similarly configured 2023 Freeride's price is and the increase over 3 years didn't seem out of the ordinary not to mention the large number of updates done to the new chassis.
yeah I did not find prices were bad at all. Poo raised prices alot more than doo.
