Who's dyno sheet? You mean the one Dynotech Jim did on that beater pre-production RUSH 800 with 1900 miles on her that showed 143 HP? Amazes me that the Doo die-hards keep going back to that as their proof. Ask Dustin Pancheri or Kelsey how much the Pro makes (even uses a different head design than what was on that RUSH). They come in at somewhere in the mid 150's. Less than the Etec, to be sure, but not far enough out to make a diff in the steep and deep.
Bottom Line - Doo needs to lose some weight and Poo needs a stronger motor before either of them will see a dime more of my money. I think 2014 will be a much improved year for both brands compared to what I've seen for 2013.
Have FUN!

Ive seen dyno numbers for all 3 brands done by an independent researcher for both the 11 and 12 sleds..pretty consistent with what others have seen over the last 2 seasons ..poo 151, doo at 158 and cat at 159.....even if you give the cat and doo a 10 hp advantage at the crank, i bet the poo is at minimum on par at the track if not ahead of the other 2..and that may show more next year with the belt drive...all the manufacturers are bringing great sleds to market right now and thats great for us consumers....

I ride my Etec with 3 Pros every weekend here in BC. We are all very competent mtn riders. The Pros are great for technical riding, they make it look easy, but they can't take it anywhere that I can't follow (or lead!). On the other hand, on the steep and deep climbs, they can't keep up. I've seen it time and time again. They're amazing at sidehilling out of bowls though!

How do you like that? Honestly.
Touche'
How is 141 subtracted from 163 equal 5? Lose weight, get rid of the crappy exhaust can.
Gash basher?
Been saying that for a month. Do as I say, not as I do.
So's yours. She rides like a Yammie though

If you draw a line, inline with the new Summit steering post, then measure up the height of the riser........it sits pretty close to the Poos steering. It also turns with little effort as it turning directly on the post and not in that factory arc.
It was never the chassis, it was the steering.........now I have the option of riding it back like the Poo or forward like the Doo, without changing the position of the bars!!

From a science standpoint....
Polaris 417 lbs cool thats great. the problem i see is polaris reduced their weight by adding carbon fiber to their chassis. Carbon fiber gets a small chip or splinter an the strength of it is greatly reduced. and unlike aluminum it cant be bent straight or welded when broke.
Just my .02

Actually 47 lbs. Fill a 5 gal jerry can full of water and lift. That's the diff.

From a practical common sense standpoint.
So how would a person chip carbon fibre tubes that are above the engine compartment?

the last time i see track dyno numbers poo and doo made better hp to the ground then cat.
If carbon fiber gets a splinter it isn't as strong as before OK correct but if you bend aluminum and straighten it it isn't as strong either, welding is different thou as is taping carbon fiber that has cracks. I am glad Doo is progressing look forward to riding one
I believe the poo composite parts are all replaceable tubes...damage them you just replace them like anything else. They are just a cf over aluminum, not a true cf tube. Its really more of a trendy " look at my cf parts" thing, in the areas its being used i dont see any advantage over using an aluminum alloy... More marketing than anything else IMO.

Hey Brew, did you see the two holes on the rails where the rear sissor mounts? Like the rear sissor relocate? Even the angle of the lower part of the sissor looks the same.
