I will be buying one of the new Ski-Doo E-Tech sleds no doubt, 1400 miles on a gallon of oil, 20mph+, no smoke, plus the aformentioned superior ride of the REV chassis.
I went riding with a guy from work and we were with a variaty of sleds from Polaris Rush's, F7's, Apex's, Nytro's, new Phazer's, old Polaris XC's, old MXZ's, basically a mix of everything. We drove around 220 miles round trip the first day. By the second day most people were beat to shit, and nobody wanted to drive very far as the first day. I was driving a 2010 MXZ 800R, and my buddy was on his 2010 MXZ 800 E-Tec and we were just fine 
I am not brand bias by any means but the Ski-Doo REV chassis are far superior to anything out there as far as banging bumbs and rider position. They put you right in the pivot point where you dont' get creamed on every bump. I rode a lot of other sleds that day and nothing even compared to the Ski-Doo in any shape or form. |
I still think the new Polaris rush front end handles better over the skidoo (IQ and Rush) but I'll give the pro ride rear skid some time to develop before I think about owning one. Plus I like 800's and Polaris hasn't done well the last few years with that.
The renegade REV-XP I bought has me worried about the reliability of the 800's. Lots of crank recalls, and folks burning down a cylinder on unmodded 800s has me a little worried. I hope it's reliable because I really like the way the sled doesn't beat the piss out of me over those bumps. I wasn't even sore the next day after my ride on Sunday.
