    If I wanted to do the loop with 3 teenagers and a camper, what would be recommended for things to do? Whale watching? Offshore fishing? Obviously, the loop itself is beautiful. I’m just wondering what they do for summer tourism.

    Mike,
    I will echo your experience. We have been riding BRP sleds the past few seasons. It was time to replace my wife’s 2019 900T. She really wanted to try a sled with smart shocks, so we were going to order one. I was looking around to see if there were any holdover sleds with smarties, and I stumbled across an 850 VR1 with Dynamix for thousands less than a Spring Order would have been. We rolled the dice and bought the sled.
    She has 4,000 miles on the sled and it has been flawless. She is constantly talking about how much fun it is to ride. Her pace has improved and she seems less fatigued at the end of each day. Her 850 is always within 2 litres of my 900R at the pump, but I always run out of fuel first because my tank is smaller.
    Every time I ride her sled, I don’t want to give it back. It is very easy to ride fast. I will seriously consider a Polaris for my next sled purchase if we can make it through another season without any issues.

    Thank you for all the tips. We had a wonderful trip.
    We ended up launching out of RDL. We spend the first night at Grande Village with lunch at Domaine Valga.
    Day 2 we hit the Chic Choc trail. We stopped at La Cache for coffee and Murdochville for lunch. We spent the night in Gaspe at Hotel Baker.
    Day 3 was the north shore. Visibility was not as good as we hoped, but it was still fun. Lunch at Delice was great. We stayed at Grand village again on day 3.
    Day 4 was back to the truck. Lunch again at Valga.
    We ended up riding a lot more miles than I was expecting. 1,032 in total. We are already making plans to go back!

    Alright, I have hotels booked so we are going. The way I have it reserved, we could run the north shore clockwise or counter clockwise. If weather were equal, which way would you run it for the best scenery?

    This may be a moot point if one day is sunny and the other isnt.

    We picked up a leftover 2025 850 VR1 to replace my wife’s 900T Adrenaline. She absolutely loves the sled. I have only ridden it once, but there was a lot to like. The Polaris is very easy to ride fast.

    We are from VT and we are not afraid to drive. I was looking at Matane as a potential starting point.
    I was playing with the Imoto app last night. Looks like 5 all the way to Perce, then 597 to 595 back to Matane looks achievable.

    Fuel economy is greatly affected my your thumb on this sled. I have ran out of fuel in less than 110 miles running it hard in sport mode, and I have made it 140 miles before in standard/Eco when I knew I needed to be conservative.
