I am looking into a Gen 5 900 ace turbo or ace turbo r. I currently run a renegade 850 and a Yamaha Nytro. Is it worth it to spend the extra money on a turbo r? I'm not too concerned about top speed but I like to open the throttle when possible. Based on the numbers for both machines, it would seem like the ace turbo is similar to my Nytro. I am thinking about a new Viper as well but not sure if I trust the Cat side of things.

the non r does not have a intercooler

If you enjoy the 850 power, get the Turbo R

I went with an 850 this season after having 4 strokes since 2010. My last one was a 900t with 150hp with intercooler. I am actually going to get rid of my 850 and going back to a 900t at 130hp. I just don’t need an 850 which is also why I didn’t go 900R. Just being honest with myself. This 900t I would think is still capable of doing 90mph and even then, do I need it to do that?

If all out top speed or being the quickest isn't number one than the 900T is good. We have the 900, 900T and 900R. The R is faster but the 900T has enough power to be lots of fun 0-80 mph. Pulls good!

The question is what do you not like about the 850? If you can answer that then you will know which 4 stroke to get! The 900T and 900R has a 50-60hp difference. Its won't be just about top end speed between the 2.

I wish torque curves were published by manufacturers. I think they would be very helpful in understanding the performance of the motor.

I have a Yamaha viper, just spring checked a Renegade 900t x. The Viper is great but iits the little things you have to do to keep it reliable. I have driven the 900t R and it is more than I need. Alot more than the Viper, of course difference in hp. I am hoping that the 900t compares or betters the viper.

does the added air volume of the intercooler increase turbo lag? seems like it should, but I could also see how it might not be noticeable.

She will do 90+. I have the 900T and I just could not justify the extra $$ for a motor that would barely every get to fully stretch its legs. 2 seasons in with the 900T and I am a huge fan.

I cannot really speak to the difference in performance from the 900 R to the 900 T but I'm sure it will perform every bit as good as the Viper in a straight line and it will do everything else better.

Where do you ride the most? Trail type dictates how much of the motor's potential you will get to use. We have a group with 1200s along with 130 and 150hp 900 turbos. To me the 1200 is not fun anymore after riding the 150hp version. I haven't ridden the 130 horse sleds but my buddy who has the 150hp version has and doesn't feel it is anywhere near as fun. We ride a lot of open groomed trails where the higher hp shines.

I have the 900T as well and am very pleased with the performance.

I have the 900R and am very pleased with the performance.

So if u r rolling along at 10 mph say and r all side by side ,where is the difference in the sleds when u accelerate?

My buddy has a viper and I have a 22 130T Enduro. Mine will beat the viper. Both stock.The viper is also generous on the speedo by almost about 8 mph compared to my ski doo side by side. I have hit 102 on my speedo. So if you liked the viper you will like your 130T even more.
EDIT... Plus the ski doo will start in the cold without a jump by just pushing the start button instead of cramming your hand in by the windshield to use the key...LOL

U don,t think ur BRP speedo is out ?Take a hand held GPS and see how close the speedo is?

The 900R leaves the 900T pretty hard. No question, there is a big difference. We had them both out on the gun a couple weeks ago and in 1500 ft the 900T hit 97 and the Mach was 114. The 900T pulls stong to about 80ish.

 

[Roger colgan]

Always get the most bang for your buck trade in better ,faster is better, sleds already heavy compared to the 850 ! The R is more ! Just my thoughts

I now have almost 2,000 miles on my 2022 900 T130 and they have been flawless miles.

Oil level has not changed.

Engine temps never go much past 201F.

Starts right up no matter how cold it has gotten over night(single digits Farenheit).

iTC and the three throttle modes are calibrated perfectly. Most of the trail riding has been done in Eco mode and with the throttle block on trigger. I like the Eco mode as it is a lot easier controlling the featherlight finger throttle when it can be pulled closer to the grip/handlebar and anytime I need/want more power, when at WOT, the motor still spools up and moves right up to 50-60 MPH. The 900 T has way more power than I'll ever need or use on the trails and makes me NOT miss the 2019 600R I had traded the 900T for.

In Sport mode, the throttle response and liveliness of the engine is outstanding.

I've been averaging 15 mpg.
