Well not really, so the pricing is not set in stone.
The tariffs that our dummy in Canada imposed on the US will hurt Canada but more so for the US. There is alot of US built parts in a skidoo.

But that still leaves a rather HUGE price increase that we would have to swallow from the Tariffs?
I’m guessing you can decide not to take the sled without penalty.

Let Trudeau get his act together before another person just like him gets voted in.Vote to save Canada say your sled costs.

I would be taking my deposit back and running my current sled another year if they hike the price due to tariffs.

It’s been a few decades but ok. Have you ever hopped on a summit with a kmod skid? Night and day better and fully adjustable.
Thats an aftermarket suspension, and are you seeing the benefit from a revalved aftermarket shock and geometry over the factory calibration. Yep you are.
I did aftermarket suspensions and torsion deletes in the past on the summits, they made the sled ride rougher on the trail and the spring rates are alot fussier because the shock and the spring are cycling on the same plane. A torsion suspension controls bump absorption on a seperate plane from the shock giving a wider area to calibrate in making the suspension Calibration more precise. Am I willing so sacrifice ride quality so I save 2 lbs? No I am not, but doo’s goal on the X was lighter weight.
Might want to check in with engineering on this one.
Go ahead, I knew this anyway, but I just repeated everything that the doo engineers said in the snowest podcast interview I listened to on my way to work this morning!Might want to check in with engineering on this one.

Well, I just got feedback from two separate guys who rode the 2026’s. I am hoping to get on them as well in a couple of weeks.
The expert is the sled of choice, best handling and side hilling doo he has ever rode, very smooth. The X with the coil over?, polaris guys will like it because they are used to a rough riding suspension, hopefully that suspension just stays in the X he said, its good to have choices.

Did they give you the low down on steering? Sitting there turning on them, I couldn't tell any difference. Both were tight. I also couldn't tell the 30% more swing.

I did ask about that. The steering was much better on the expert. I asked if he thought the steering was the biggest factor in the handling over the 32” and he believed that was the case, because I thought of adding the 34” if I committed to ordering one.
I had been putting some thought into the expert before I got feedback from the guys I know. It kinda would be nice to still be able to adjust the ski stance. I get that getting rid of the spacers tighten up the steering. In my area we have long trail rides to get to the alpine and wondered how its trail manners were.
I hope to get a chance to throw a leg over them and see for myself.

I just edited my post. I couldn't tell if handlebars turned more compared to X. My buddy couldn't either.
The steering is one of the bigger appeals to me. I actually like it better than vertical with my shoulders. I just never liked the twitchy steering, or what I call the death wobble, and the insanely deep keel on their skis. It always seemed to me they steer twice as easy but you have to steer them 3 times as much.
People get too caught up in the coilover thing. The doo actually rides better. More than one way to skin a cat. Same with steering. Preference and what you're used to.
Dave claims the 32 handles the trail and corners better than the x. I take him at his word because he is a tmotion, flex edge and X guy.
I am also hoping they are right that they sidehill so much better because I don't think they hold a line like the polaris. I am also not wanting them to handle like a polaris. Turns out polaris makes a package for that.
The expert was easily my pick after looking at them. My buddy, who is also a die hard polaris guy, is getting one for a spare. That is crazy because he never liked my doos. He did think my lynx was more fun than his pro boost after I changed the skis. He also loved the motor.
I will get to ride one as long as work doesn't get in the way. I just not sure when.

Does anyone know if the Adrenaline with edge package got any of the changes for 2026? or is it more similar to a 2025 summit?
