the problem I have with these testimonials is nothing different the ski doo release, you might as well listen to a ski doo ambassador. any problems we will have to figure out next season. Did any of these guys mention the new left hand throttle control sucked last year?

2023 xrs shocks suck.

You should have got the mxz xrs pro 40’s with rebound adjust up front and stiffer rear valving. Lol

Ski- doo ambassadors, what a joke.

We want to see, hear, and meet the engineers and designers, and put the head bean counter and CEO out to face the music 😊

This from another thread on this site. “Went into dealer today and asked about ordering one and he said that he was aloted one trail turbo xrs and there was only going to be 700 North America wide.” I had heard 1,500 total. If true that is a small production run.

For anyone thinking it's only 180 hp, you'll be surprised. I had a 850 NA summit and rode at low elevation often. I rented a 850 turbo R in WY a few weeks ago and even at 10k feet it feels WAY stronger than 180. Seat of the pants if no one ever said a hp number, I'd guess 40 more than a NA at low elevation!

40 more hp would be amazing!

Has anyone found gearing specs? Sure hope its not 25/45 like my 23 XRS. What a disappointment that was.

Yeah should be at least 27/45

10!!! That’s the most I’ve heard any dealer receiving. Mine only got three.

I want to see what skidoo is going to do with the G5 quick disconnect coupling issue.This loose fit condition is resulting in chain case failures in the mountain sleds.one vendor has addressed this. Let’s hope this doesn’t result in issues with the trail sleds.

I think Mountain sleds chain case is different than trail. I have NOT heard of any issues in the trail segments.

Yeah that’s a huge dealer.

The continued tightening of supply by BRP suggests prices aren’t going down anytime soon and that even if they head north it won’t be dramatic. I assumed supply would ramp back up and that with the cost of money/recession we’d start to see inventory sitting and significant manufacturer’s incentives. Perhaps not. Long story short nothing makes much sense anymore.

Bingo!! Will definitely dyno more than 180 stock. Some bigger Tunes are already ready for it. Low production numbers are what makes these awesome!

Yeah forgot it’s a 137. I’m betting it’ll pull a 27 though

As I recall the 900 TRs are 27/45. Would have thought 27 all day long.

My dealer said 27/45. I'm thinking this ecm is going to be harder to get into than the mountain sled. Pretty sure with launch mode and the water injection it's a different ecm. Talked to a aftermarket shop that has tunes for the turbo R mountain sleds. He's thinking it will be locked up also. As with anything, IF it is, somebody will eventually get into it.
