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?

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.

 

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!

 

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?

 

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.

 

Sorry for the late response. I love everything about my 850. I am just looking into something different. I'm confident my 850 will last long but I know a 4 stroke will last longer especially since I'd like to pass that sled down when it's time to sell my Nytro.

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

It's a front mount turbo. Lag is almost zero on the intercooler equipped sleds, really no impact there.

 

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 900R and am very pleased with the performance.

 

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.

It’s crazy how in Sport mode it feels like a completely different engine. Instant power and for a lack of a better description, it feels aggressive, in a good way. I use standard mode oin windy trails and sport in wide open spaces. I think Skidoo needs more praise for this feature that often gets overlooked

 

That ended years ago. The procross mileage and speedo are very close to accurate, especially if you are studded. My 2020 TCAT was off by 1-2 mph over GPS.

 

We went on a trip. My 19 skidoo showed 520km, my buds 15 procross was 565km.
And I had actually put on an extra 5/10kms looking for another in our group.

 

6,017 miles on my '22, no issues and no blown belts. I've gotten a tick over 17mpg multiple times and it has started flawlessly as low as -24°F.

I rode more tight, twisty trails this season and l was worn out by the end of those days. The 900R engine is simply amazing but after riding a Polaris Matryx back-to-back on the same trails, l've decided to give the Matryx a try next year...

I'm clearly the unpopular opinion here but the digital throttle is the reason I ditched my 900. 850 all the way. The throttle response of the 850 was telepathic...the 900 just isn't quite there. I honestly didn't mind the weight on trails (though it IS notable), but I couldn't stand the throttle.

Just my apparently unpopular two cents!

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

On most vehicles this is true, but on a sled it's not quite as useful. Don't get me wrong, you still feel it, but a well clutched CVT should keep an engine at peak torque very effectively, so that the rest of the curve isn't as important as it normally is.

 

Throttle on my 22 900r acts like normal, before that they were brutal.
I came off a 1000 sdi and although I miss it on occasion this is a fair compromise.

 

We just ordered the 900R as it was only $1200 more and should have better resale value.

 

for sure the R will be harder to tune up
most Ts ecus can be easily flashed
