Well about 3 weeks ago I demo?d the 2008 Yamaha Nytro RTX. And Saturday I got to try out the 2009 Skidoo XP 1200 E-TEC.
The SkiDoo felt more powerful than the Nytro, however it wasn?t in 1-on-1 a drag race or hill climb, so it is not fair to say that one is faster than the other.
SkiDoo 4-TEC advantages:
- Lighter and FEELS it
- Superior cornering and handling, sitting or standing
- Better ergonomics and more leg room
- More miles per tank, thanks to a 10.6 gallon tank
- Better wind protection
- Better storage and luggage options available
- 1+1 Capable Seat
Yamaha NYTRO RTX Advantages
- Reputation for quality (although the Nytros are not without their issues and Rotax 4-Stroke engines have a good history)
- Better Quality Shocks
- More track length choices for 2009
Lining these 2 great sleds up next year will be interesting.
