RoadRunner Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 We have been pleased with Nh Vector's sled conversion, he took a 900 Sport Expedition changed the seat, rear bumper, installed pro 40 shocks and a 42 wide ras front arms to make a really fun sled. Great fuel mileage of between 15 and 20 mpg based on running conditions. We all love the articulating rear suspension on our big expeditions and this sport comes with that as well. We have not taken out the 900 enduros yet, one may go out today. RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow riding today, not much minimal snow lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvt Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Nice! Reports are it can be a killer trail in the dead of winter with deep snow. Edited December 7, 2015 by markusvt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmonkey Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Mark, we are on the manicougan reservoir. At Relais Gabriel. Had some issues today with all 3 of the 800 extremes. The driven clutch on all 3 are not shifting back properly at times. The boys will do some clutch work to see if they can straightened out. Heading towards Port Cartier today 20151204_100732.jpg Did you start at Relais Gabriel or did you start from Fermont? Coming down fermont Port Cartier trail in March thought maybe i could pick your brain a little. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Did you start at Relais Gabriel or did you start from Fermont? Coming down fermont Port Cartier trail in March thought maybe i could pick your brain a little. Thanks Started at the Relais, working both ends of that trail north and south, trail is 45 miles east of Gabriel. Can connect with you about that trip as we did that run in 2013 from lab city to Gabriel in 2013, the lower section from gab to port carter is very clean and open, north section much more challenging.

smclelan Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I see a picture of a lake, but see you did not appear to ride out on it. Has it been cold enough up there to freeze things solid yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hard to believe all that snow and the rest of the country is brown and snowless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it been cold enough up there to freeze things solid yet? SM We did cross it after doing several depth checks, we had 6 " where we crossed, but up above the wind chop ice line there was only 3. That lake is at 2300 elevation. Lower large lakes have less Need the polar vortex to drop! RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Port Cartier to Fermont......is that forest road riding all the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 A definite no, port Carter to Gabriel is , but from that point north it is an old road system but grown in and gone in many places. You have to run streams, lakes ect and that road now to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmonkey Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 How many miles from relais to Fermont and also From relais to Port Cartier? Also how is the 45 Miles going east to trail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 How many miles from relais to Fermont and also From relais to Port Cartier? Also how is the 45 Miles going east to trail? Port Carter to Gab is 150 miles, 145 miles logging and reserve roads, one major road. wash out to portage around 30 miles out of Gab, and 5 miles of 4 lakes and portages, unless you ride 2 miles of 389. Great country up here if you come prepared. RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hard to believe all that snow and the rest of the country is brown and snowless.Mike, we have ridden the 900 enduro the last two days, a very nice package. The air suspension is sweet, engine holds at 7000 rpm nicely, and tops out on a norma type trail at the low 80s on the dream meter.We all are very impressed with this package from brp. Fuel mileage seemed better than the the 14 and 15 900s we had, our other 900s are only turning 6600 so it may just be in the clutching. You will be very pleased with your sled Best Regards RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
