Even as a polaris guy, it's great to see a new line of sleds coming out! The competition makes everyone better.
Matryx hurt their feelings
Still Snowcheckin a SB 146 in a couple weeks 🤙
Just bought 2021 Indy 600 and 650 XC 129s.
@@maxmartz4665 Have to admit, the Indy 137 is making me struggle. Just wicked man. Have an 18’ Assault 800 SB 144 now that I love, but the new significantly narrower chassis is just to cool to pass up this year. 6 more days, stoked to see what they offer
Not a new line just another Doo. Mercury/ford thingy
These videos and the year end riding impressions videos are 10x better than any reviews you guys do for tv. Great to hear honest unscripted opinion. Keep them up.
Thank you.The scripted content for TV is necessary for us to meet time constraints for broadcast, but we are trying to find a balance to serve the RUclips community too.
Basically its a consumer race sled which is amazing
Never been a BRP person. I like the looks of this machine. Great video Luke. I don't think anyone does a better semi-unscripted review of a product like you do.
600 miles of smiles on my Rave and it has been incredible. Suspension set on Normal and it’s deep without being too harsh. I’m able to use every bit of it in whooped out sections or big G-outs, yet attack most trail chatter at crazy speeds.
Going to install more aggressive carbides before the next ride.
Everything Luke said and more!
Tons of fun!
Tom in Pennsylvania
Very cool to see a Lynx in North America and ST able to review it!!! Thanks guys - Cant wait to see the test ride!
I'm enjoying seeing the snow and the snowmobile. Even though I never have and probably never will own one.
Same
Hey where do you live cause if you live anywhere near Wisconsin I got a sled for sale its 500 bucks 12 thousand miles with a long track studed and a 2 up seat and comes with a 500cc engine
Good review man i do agree it’s a good looking sled can’t wait to try one out or see one out on the trails !
Im a Swede and i have never heard another Swede call it rav-eh, always rave.
Maybe the Finns or Norwegians have another way to say it?
Norwegians call it Rave.. have never heard the Rav-eh befor i saw the launch video where the CEO of Lynx said it.. so i think it is a Finnish thing :)
It's definitely a Finnish thing, since our language is "harsh" the E doesn't come out "smoothly" as it does in English or Swedish.
@@FarmMaster135 So everyone else say it wrong. 😉👍
Consider that the first RAVE from Lynx only descibed the first Rotax RAVE engine (Rotax Automatic Variable Exhaust) and it was actually written R.A.V.E on the hood for many many years. Google GLS 3800 R.A.V.E. to see the pictures.
Furthermore I'd like to think we have capacity to call em whatever the actual name is lol. I mean come on, give us a little credit
Milimeters to inches:
1 inch is 2.54 centimeters or 25.4 milimeters
A 3500 Lynx is a (3500/25.4) 137” sled 👍
Thank you!!
@@snowtrax have a question. Coming from the US. Seeing you, Osta and other Canadians using the standard system for quoting measurements, etc. Thought Canada was on the metric system? Or do you only use for speed and liquids?
@@doodrew800 in canada its almost un-explainable how and where and what system we use.. lol!
It will be nice to see a totally different sled on the trails. I've always loved the Lynx look. Refreshing!!
This is what we needed in Canada for guys like me who doesn’t ride on the trails and just wants a wheelie sled for ditch bagging
If u want twheelie , all u do is remove the coupling blocks..PROBLEM SOLVED.
@@randyb4105 then u still have ur coupler mount tho?
@@mitchellrolfe2356 yes youkeep the blocks, it is eay to remove them...but not much control in the turns when ur on the throttle , it it is loads of fun when u can wheelie your sled on demand.
@@mitchellrolfe2356 yes u keep it all intact , all u do is remove the coupler BLOCKS these r 2 rectangular blocks with a single bolt through the centers.
Be ware if you r on the throttle hard in the turn you will have to back off too keep the skis planted...It sure is a blast 2 be able to wheelie ur sled at will.
@@randyb4105 just loosen or remove the limiter strap you’ll go over backwards 😂
Ive been out of sledding a couple of years. Think I'm getting back in.
Been out since 2009 when my Dragon 700 was totaled in an accident. Nobody was hurt, just didn't invest in a new one. I think I'm ready too.
@@Mike-cp1ft check out the 2021 shootout results from snow trax and others so you know what is offered. Poo have seriously upped the game.
I put 100 miles on one last week and the suspension is everything they say it is, was very impressed.
this style of reviews on a sled is so much more entertaining then the super scripted reviews. Raw impressions with a bunch of info about the sled is great. More refined then what you guys were doing last season.
Thank you.The scripted content for TV is necessary for us to meet time constraints for broadcast, but we are trying to find a balance to serve the RUclips community too. We will continue to evolve these vids.
Lynx Rave is more like the mx-z. Lynx has a "rival" to renegade and that is the Xterrain. Rave is designed mostly for trails and the Xterrain is designed for on and off trail riding. And they have even shorter variant of the Rave and it is the Rave enduro. It has 600 engine and it is 3300 long.
Dont forget the Boondocker.
@@hamag1973 I said Xterrain and Rave bc he thought Rave was like the renegade. Boondocker is like the summit, but that was not the topic
The Renegade is NOT a crossover sled. Skidoo no longer makes that claim. The Backcountry is the crossover. The renegade is a 137 trail sled. An MXZ is a 129, this RAVE compares most closely to the Renegade.
North America finally got the king of snowmobiles-Lynx.
🤣
Lynx are made from the parts that fall from skidoos manufacturing line.
Zaihami lmao
Skidoo is great. Absolutely fantastic brand. Next good one inline is Lynx Boondocker 850. Worth a look.👍
This is the ONLY snowmobile channel. I'm going for the Lynx
Here’s my opinion you should send it to me and my two-year-old daughter and I will enjoy it for the season and tell you how good it is LOL it looks amazing. Wasn’t planning on a new snowmobile in the future but I would love one of these.
That being said you do an amazing job telling people what things really are about. Probably the best job in the world you have LOL
I watch you guys faithfully every time you show up on my screen. Absolutely love your videos.
Thank you!!
I like your video's and the one's on this sled especially. After watching all your video's on this sled, I ordered one for this season. I ride in northern Wisconsin mostly for the past 30yrs. I know my trails very well and me and my son ride very hard and fast but safe. I ride a 04 rev 800 and my son has been riding his trail converted 09 mxzx 600rs since he was 12. I bought it from a racer that got hurt before the race season that year. For the last 10yrs people have been trying to keep up with us and haven't. I'm 57yrs old now he 26yrs old. I been thinking with my age that I might need alittle help this season with more speed. I think this sled will help me go faster more easily. My son said it sounds like a sled he will be ordering next year himself. Keep up the good work.
Good review and great getting it out there asap with time for spring ordering.
Also wanted to say that I like these two quick videos on the lynx more than most of the show videos, just seems more real. Not that the show ones are bad, these just seemed more real and fun.
Thank you.The scripted content for TV is necessary for us to meet time constraints for broadcast, but we are trying to find a balance to serve the RUclips community too. We'll continue to evolve the format.
I think Canadian people talk awesome! I'm from Maine though! We talk funny too! Go Pauli Pipolla! PPS3 high mounted independent rear arm rising rate bump basher!
This is the first "CAT" I would consider purchasing
Lol I see what ya did there
@@yourlocalhooligan HAA...mint comment.
Lol just aboutbfellnoff my chair when u threw that on the side to reveal basically the rear skid only longer of coarse of everybyamaha sled ever built in the 80's 90's. Hated that suspension but of a sudden this one's amazing....
This sled is cool! I like how its just that little bit different in style, its refreshing to see! I would consider one of these!
Sounds like a ditchbanger made for saskatchewan
Umm yeah, I think it would be perfect there.
Read your comment a little to fast and thought you wrote bitchbanger 😅
@@Tandborste13 😂😂
snow pro 500/600 is all you need.
Cain's Quest
Before this video I thought I wanted it, now I know I need this!
You guys should have a factory trip to Finland, and while your at it ride around Norway/Finland/Sweden 👍
We have actually been to Rovaniemi a couple times and have done the Norway to Levi, Finland ride which was a really cool experience. I think it might be good to do this again.
Great review , although I am not a skidoo fan AT ALL , I have had only 2 "pretty good." BRP machines. A summit, and an XRS.
It's a good think I had awesome dealer support , or I would have stopped purchasing BRP sleds way back in 2004.
This is one of the most entertaining sled I ever drove, suspension is great and even if brp owns them this is not a skidoo repilca not even clutches are weight the same. I were close to go for a 2020 Rave RE but didn't pull the trigger and still running Polaris 850 assault m19. But the Rave RE is hardcore and maybe my next sled😉
Interested to see riding impressions. Just checked the msrp. Looks a little steep, even with today's sled prices, but if the suspension upgrades translate into an impressive riding experience, it might be worth it.
It is definitely not in the budget category. Think Ferrari. Ride impressions coming soon!
Price out an xrs, it’s the same coin. I’d love to try one of these things.
What was the price
@CHARLES HANSEN spec the xrs with options like this sled has, it’s the same price pretty much. Also I’m talking Canuck bucks.
Another point being a given suspension set up-no matter how good-can only work best for a certain weight range of rider.
“You speak funny because you’re Canadian, eh” 😆.
I am originally fm QC and I am NOT going to say Ravé lol ... RAVE it is !!!
Awesome review Luke !!!
I wouldn't be surprised if in Quebec they say it exactly like the pronoucation luke said Ravé but with just a regular (e) instead of the (é) :p
Jeah.. In Finland we speak language called Rally English. And here we call this sled as a " Ravé". You guys should call it RAVE. Ravé sound too gay.. lol Stay healthy and keep riding!
@@Makeh78 Cool ! The same for you, ride safe and stay safe always 😉.
To me the lynx actually looks like a snarling cat with its nose scrushed up.
Looks like a modern day Redline snowmobile that barely transpired back in the 90's(?)... kinda dig it!
Perfect timing for "unpredictable grooming" due to COVID, based on your description they knew when to realise this. Great description of what this sled is for thanks, and keep up the good work!!!!
The rear suspension pps is constructed by a finnish snocross god from the -90s, pauli pippola suspension, ski doo tend to behave better in deep snow due to suspension geometry. That said none of them are bad. I hope you get the boondocker and xterrain brutal, that is a test i would like to see, 20 inch track with 2.4 inch lugs 154 long with 850 engine
Lynx was ahead of many even before the 90s in snocross due to suspension etc.
I am from Sweden and i say it just like you. Love your content
Such an awesome looking sled. Hope you guys are having a blast!
Great walk-around Luke and STT you guys well deserve to get the first in North America.....Great jobs on everything you guys are doing.....
Thank you!
Totally a badass sled. Glad to see it come to North America. Looking forward to seeing the test
Just for the record, in my area of Pennsylvania there are numerous riders whom are notably more aggressive and faster than me. However with that said and what I think Luke was referring to is; he knows I like trails that are whooped out and challenging. It appears the Lynx Rave was made for the trail conditions I prefer.
In north western Ontario where I'm at there are a mixture of both groomed and ungroomed trails.i also prefer ungroomed but it's nice to switch it up and after this video I think I found my dream sled. Put some skid plates and a bumper on this sled and it would be unstoppable. But for 23,000 Cad (roughly) I may have to wait a few years before I own one.
I've been a Polaris guy for 30 years and this is the very first BRP that has interested me, ever... I would buy one just based on this video alone. That says a lot!
Imo this looks like a new improved 137 crossover that would have competed with the Polaris Axys Pro-X - which they discontinued in 2018. Without the Pro-X, Polaris doesn't have a sled that competes with this.
best looking BRP sled I have seen in some time, taller seat a bonus for our well over 6 ft tall.
Doo for the win and most will complain about price but it’s big time best shock package available on any sled and yes agree very nice looking sled 👍 for those that would use it for that type of riding thanks for the good info and break down
Luke, super cool review. I know Tom and Janice and actually Jamie babysat our kids. Also love the old episode where they actually went riding with you in ON. Keep up the great work!
Great show I watch it when I can lol...l like that there is no back doors and you tell it like it is when you talk about what ever sled it is that u r riding...keep up the great work and ride safe..thanks
Thank you!!
I’m obsessed with this sled
These things are awesome, love the walkaround format too. Might be my next sled!
Great video Luke ! I am not sure but I f my memory is right my VMax XT with Tss front suepension , had a none coupled suspension , the rear shocks was almost as high as the rave and we had the option of 3 position for the shock to stiff the ride plus of course the spring adjustment ,
Hey guys great show I’m a newer rider and you guys help out so much with your content looking forward to you guys test riding that sled
Awesome!
Great walk around Luke!
As someone looking at a Matryx Switchback Assault or BackCountry XRS for 2022...this Rave looks interesting.
Great job Ski Doo and Thankyou Luke for a good walk around
So exited
just bought one sight unseen!!! thanks for the GREAT reviews!!
Awesome! You're going to have a fun winter!!
Super nice looking sled. Big fan of red and black.
I may have to strongly consider this sled. As I get older my 2004 RX Warrior is not all that comfortable any more. BTW...we're neighbours, I'm over on Bat Lake.
It’s so cool that Lynx is coming to NA. I was always curious if they were different enough from Ski-Doos to justify it, and I’m glad that they aren’t just a “badge engineered” curiosity.
I wonder if BRP had to wait until the trademark on a snowmobile called “Lynx” had to expire from Arctic Cat’s ownership or something like that. Also, when you have Cat/Yamaha essentially using the same sleds, how can you be mad when a company under the same umbrella does something similar?
Might've been part of the settlement from the recent lawsuit between the two companies.
I have been a Lynx guy since I bought my first 800 Boondogger in 2012. Once you get used to that suspension and ride feeling, you just don't want to drive anything else.
There is one other interesting point too. Buy detachable extra seat and you can put you girlfriend or wife behind and double the speed compared to normal touring sleds and still have no problems when hitting a bump.
Great honest first impressions video again. Hopefully now BRP fanboys will finally agree with your first impressions and realize these are your " honest " opinions no matter what brand. * I'm not a BRP fanboy but it is a nice looking sled.
We're not gonna hold our breath LOL
This is exciting
Tug Hill NY would be a good spot for it...
Was thinking the same for Potter County PA.
Finally, there have been ungroomed trails up here in Nunavut since for ever. How did they over-look us?
I got a Pro-X just because of the trails here in Scandinavia.
@@Tmjpwns I hear ya. I always bought cheaper end-model sleds and did reinforcements and shock upgrades. After all the work I've done to the sleds I end up using my Race sleds for trail riding/hunting/racing. Hahaha
Hop, think anyone up north would try one? Mix a few of these in with the tundra
@@adampetten1009 absolutely.
Do they have groomed trails in Nunavut? Ways wanted to do a trip up that way ?
Its better looking than a ski-doo👍
Great review and explanations. Sounds like my ideal sled, that never existed here. Most likely ordering one. Just scheduled a test ride.
Sounds like a great replacement for the 137 freeride skidoo got rid of in 2021. Ditch banging and flatland powder/crossover if it had a 1 3/4” paddle
That's my thought as well
Sounds perfect for riding the “trails” in the Adirondacks
Been riding the Speculator area for over 30 years and seen it at its best and worse. This sled was made for that area!
Hi luke great review .it looks a bit like a arcticcat headlight down it's a sharp looking sled like the colours.
My 2017 expedition has the "flattened" area for your feet with a side hold. Just because it's not on the summit doesn't mean it's new tech
Didnt say it was "new tech". Its something I havent seen on a G4 before.
very cool, I would have loved a sled like that when i lived in Anchorage Alaska when I was a teenager and road ditches and moose trails all around were i lived off of Campbell lake.
We need more snowmobile like that in up north of 60 in Canada big time
when will you guys be getting the new mach z?
Hoping soon! This time of the year is crazy. We never know what's gonna show up day to day.
Im not a snowmobiler im a drag racer and that looks like a bad ass drag bike !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great review! Nothing wrong with screwdriver adjusted shocks, one less widget to break. Very clean looking sled, function vs fluff which is nice to see.
I think that's gonna be my next sled,can't wait to see some more reviews on it.
I had Ski-Doo's and Bombardier's Moto Ski and most models ( not all) were identical except for the colours. Nice that the Lynx is a bit different.
Will you include Lynx's in future Sled Shootouts? Would love to see how it compares to Ski Doo's and especially the newer Polaris's! Good Video
I feel like this sled is going to be featured in a bunch of shootouts.
@@snowtrax That is great to hear!! Do you think you will be able to get your hands on the new Lynx Boondocker as well this season or will you just have the Rave?
Awesome first review. Long term will tell if the wheelie issue become a problem.
Like one of the other reviews, accessory windshield would be nice. And when the 600 comes to North America, I am.there to buy one. Didn't catch it, is it. Electric start only?
Thanks again
Great discussion, pumped to see the coverage.
I looked Down at you subscribers and I see 80k you are so under rated keep up the great work
You Lucky B******s. Great video, great review, and I'm jealous.
Fast forward to today, I picked up the 23 Lynx Rave RE today. I decided after watching a few of the vids and having a friend that had one to make the change from the Polaris Assault to the Rave. Now I just need snow.
Awesome looking sled, by far my favourite BRP that I’ve seen in years might consider coming back to BRP, would love to see it running and good rip vid! And see what you guys think, I think this would be great in Newfoundland!
I could tell he was pumped. That's awesome
Nice to see that you guys got Lynx over there! It's been many years since i had an Lynx, Ski-Doo for me, but a big fan of lynx! Greetings from sweden!
Luke for future conversions just take what ever the mm and multiply by .03937 to get the inch conversion. Awesome looking sled.
Wonderful video. Very descriptive and informative.
That skid is like someone took the Polaris Pro-Ride chassis and threw the over tunnel shock under the tunnel. Very cool design. As a Polaris guy I could say i really like this thing
lynx has had a pps rear suspension since 2007. it is built so that the skis are in the ground at all times and are easy to steer.
Love your show! I record every episode! The nee Lynx looks like an Awesome sled! I rode my buddy’s VR 1 yesterday and it is very impressive! Hard to believe how much better it corners than my 2019 850 Indy!! Always enjoy your shows!
Great walk around ! Thanks for the info. Seems like a big time ditch banger and wheelie machine. It’ll sell real well! That’s a prairie machine for sure. 👍👍
I want one, looks amazing
Snowtrax- so here's my question.
You guys have been on a SB XCR, if polaris makes a matryx indy xcr 137, would you take this lynx over a polaris xcr?
That would be where my money would be going between those 2.
Lynx seems way more my riding style everything you said is how I ride.
Thanks
Nice review of the differences compared to Ski-doo. It is very helpful!
Cool
I thought SnowTrax was on the outs with BRP? And this sled would seem like it would fit Saskatchewan perfectly.
We're turning the show into a drama LOL
would be nice to get some seat time on one of these. i've had a couple 137 freerides and an XRS gade and this seems like the next step
I like your dog. He/she needs to be in more videos.
Haha, thats Roxy. Shes been caught lingering in the background of alot of videos.
Lynx is nr1 in Europe
Keep the videos coming!!!
Was waiting for this can't wait for you to rate them against there competition
100/Agree he said he thinks its better looking!! then ''matrix''. Seat is tall so should win sled of the year. huh
At last, the response will be interesting.
Good job too.
Also a lot of Lynx thinking makes sense if one consider their history in racing.
Like the suspension that was designed along with the race team rider Pauli Piippola, hence the name PP(S)uspension.
