mikerider Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Haven't heard much news about QuebecRiders getting new sleds this year. Bought mine today. Last four sleds were 900 ACE's, needed something different. Maybe at 70 I needed one more hot rod before I get too old. '24 MXZ 600R two stroke short track (129).

Shore1066 Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Mike I think it will be a great time seeing how you ride out of the same location everyday. I think you are going to be nimble. Lol. Oh yea stay on the trail. mikerider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Congrats on the new sled Mon Ami. You will be looking fine on that sled. Looking forward to your reports this winter. Your arms will be stretched this winter after running 900s. mikerider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted November 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Thanks everyone. Got my hot rod, probably won't drive any faster than before, but I will feel and look younger on this new sled. And the excitement index for this coming winter is through the roof. Reading DooTalk, never heard of the 600R engine going down. Shop foreman at my dealer says they haven't had one 600R go down yet in the several years they have been available. Steve, I really wanted a Polaris but they are pricier. I worry Polaris dealers are so backed up on recalls that if I had a problem the sled may stay too long in the shop waiting for it to get worked on. The Matryx is still the best sled I have ever driven. And Eastmark. Tell Lisa she can try my new sled if I can try her new Cat Turbo!!! I thought my new sled would attract all all the women. But after seeing Mark's new Lynx, I will have to settle being his wing man. mike 800steve, jak, doo4adoo and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvt Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 The 600 is very, very nice. When it ends up in a red one, I'll have it 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 600 of yours is a GREAT sled. I love the new Polaris, and it has been trouble free, but I understand your thoughts about which one to buy. It is a lot of fun to ride it.

Mark if a guy is riding 90% groomed trail is the Lynx a viable option or would a Renegade be a better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvt Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) RAVE RE and Renegade are both 137. Renegade XRS has the best suspension Ski-Doo offers in a trail sled. Lynx is next step up, more like a "XRS+". It's geared towards stability in the bumps. Sit and cruise guys will be more happy with the Ski-Doo options. I like them both 😏 Edited November 24, 2023 by markusvt mccaffrey, Fuse6, GSX800 and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFARJM Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 With just under 23,000 miles on a 900 ACE Blizzard, I decided to get a 2024 renegade adrenaline enduro with a 900 ACE, pilot 5.8 skies (not the TS skies), and KYB front shocks. Love the 10.25 touch screen. Lots of learning time to keep me occupied until snow time. smclelan, GSX800, nyskidooerinnewhampshire and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
