Lester family -i read your mags in the 90's and 00's -i watched snow Trax on oln or whatever it was back in the day -i watch on RUclips now. This is one of the truest videos you have put out. An old man freezing his ass on the lake giving his true opions. Congrats!
Non clicker front shocks... wow.That’s really lame considering the price and segment this sled is competing in. I think this is the most critical review I’ve ever watched you guys do. You actually said things that were negative about the sled and that was refreshing. I hope you guys continue with doing your reviews in this manner regardless of the brand. I’ve written off mainstream sled media reviews for years because they are fluff and hype and whatever the sled it never lives up to the glowing reviews. This video was far, far more useful than anything I’ve watched in years. Good job!
"Fiddler"... I prefer "violinist". In comparison to an 850, How is it on oil? How is it on gas? How does it work on a rough trail? How does it work on a smooth trail? How does it corner in hard and loose conditions? How smooth is it? Does it wheelie through the moguls well? What purchase options would optimize it's performance? How does it compare in value to an 850? Is it worth it? So many questions....
Thanks that was in depth and thorough analysis, thanks,Yes but you should state that it was in Celsius which is 14°F which isn't all that cold, that's what keeps the snow frozen,II am in arctic cat guy, ski Doo does make some nice snowmobiles but that one in particular doesn't strike me as all that interesting and it seems like you avoid ever mentioning the name arctic cat because maybe they're not paying you enough to promote them or even mention their name,
Have a look around our channel and you'll see we cover Cat quite a bit. Currently though, AC has not provided any of the media with press units to evaluate this season, which explains why you have not seen a walk-around in-season. However, we did do walk-around videos of the Riot and Riot x as well as the 8000 RR this past spring. Oh and the Alpha One won our RAD award at the end of last season. We've also aired the test ride of Riot and this week we are featuring the Riot X test ride.
Good review. Think they need to ditch the X and just have the XRS with adjustable shocks all around. Paying this much and Skidoo cheaping out on the piggybacks the luggage bag and no windshield...pftt. They need to rework the Ski carbide adjusters. So many reviews saying they are a pain. I'm looking at the competition more these days. Plan to buy a new sled one of these years.
It sounds a bit like a Kubota garden tractor. I would have rather seen the black machine shown in the thumbnail. Also Arctic cat Gear will keep you much warmer at -10. You looked a bit cold? Nice Video and Thank You.
@@rideswift I thought you were referring to the windshield that is being shown on the sled in the video which is a skidoo accessory windshield from 2017, higher than the stock mid height that it comes with.
Let’s be honest boys snap the cellphone into airplane mode while you record. Does that ever take away from your audio and is distracting as hell. Mind you seems quite unprofessional.
Anybody else think this channel is extremely underrated??
Aiden Hoffman this is like one of the only press channels
Only when Mark is doing the review. Don’t care for the other two when they are unscripted.
Yes! Especially since their tv show only comes once early saturday morning and once early sunday morning. Wish it was on more.
There's actually multiple airings each week. The full list of airtime is on our website.
Yes big time!!! Expechaly when you get a awesome review like this.

Congrats!
Wickedest compliment. Thanks AJ. Really appreciate you watching!!!
Mark does a great job on his reviews...love his funny little sayings like "under-nourished."
I also like the mid-size engine focus...so much out there on the big displacents 850s. Give us more!
Awesome video. I love the honesty. Thats what keeps us coming back.
Just discovered this guy, we need more reviews from him!
Just a little cold, but what a minty looking sled.

Loved the demo ride!!
‘Cause I’m getting one!850?600?think the 600 will be quick enough?i had the cat lay down 700’s scary fast!

Ill take -10 over -40. Thankfully its been a mild winter in north western ontario this winter. Just wish we had more snow.

its because the true reference in snowmobile is BRP and Polaris artic cat are far behind them in technologie and yamaha even more

Great review ! Can you share the windshield specs with us ? Thanks.
They don't make that mid height windshield anymore but if you look around on the internet you can still find them. I have one definitely worth it.
Great content has always those 600R with traction will stay in front of most 800 up to 80MPH +
Great review!!! - have to say i love the black color of the thumbnail better then the yellow
Good review.

Steve B I agree with you about losing the X, or have it standard with a set of QS3’s and leave the XRS with the KYB’s.
Just buy a pair of foxes with it. I don’t see why that’s such a problem
Makes me want the 850
Yeaaaa! Dads back with walk around. How about a walkaround on a Ski Doo Expedition SE the not so seen models ???

Underrated yep!!
It's cold but we are warm in are fxr suits. That was a commercial
Fxr suits are toasty?I haven’t ridden since ‘07 Would you chance the 2021 600 or get the 2020?
Wonder why they did not stay with the e-Tec and went with an EFI INJECTION 80HP motor?Changed the suspension front and rear?
Buy an FXR suit.
Non-adjustable front shocks but adjustable skis, makes sense??
Seather It’s between the carbide and the shocks so yes it does make sense
Thanks for posting. Great review
great walk around
All I heard was the phone vibrating😂 or whatever it was
Everything Loud 406 that was their teeth rattling 🤭😳😁😂😂
It was actually feedback from the wireless mic, which we were having troubles adapting to the cold.
@@snowtrax still a great video. You about have to pull around a heated room so all the batteries,equipment will work😁
Very insightful.
is this a 2stroke or a 4 stroke
Can am Dennis 68 Can am Man 2
Great review. U look freezing hahaha
It does show average, and top speed it's in the settings that's what I set mine to
Excuse me -10 is not cold come to oil country we’ll tuffin u up 😁
Nope, you guys are waaaaaay tougher in that cold. No argument.
That's the Factory windshield for X package, also, the new 7" gauge does have speed stats.
That windshield is not the factory windshield. It is a mid height that they don't make any more.
@@jeffbarnes5194 X package comes with the mid windshield, XRS comes with the deflector as he describes
@@rideswift I thought you were referring to the windshield that is being shown on the sled in the video which is a skidoo accessory windshield from 2017, higher than the stock mid height that it comes with.
Wow it looks like its missing half the tunnel it's kinda big in the front end

It is actually feedback from the wireless mic. Think it was having issues adjusting to the cold.
SnowTrax TV a wireless mic vibrates like that? Wow. My mistake. Excellent overview as always tho boys. Keep it up
I find my renegade to run cooler than other sleds in my group
I was thinking the same thing. My 2020 never goes above 110. Seems low.
Hows a summit 146 2.5 for cooling?
Snowmobill
So do you guys wake up really early to film these because of sleds going by?
The X comes with that windshield the XRS does not
What a nice engine stutter at 8:10 lol, bit of a fail.
catkillerppx he was clicking it back and forth between RER and gear
God they are SOOOOOOO Ugly! I'll buy any of the other big 3 before you could give me any new skidoo
Steve O Yeah sorry they tried to model it after you, soooooo ugly I think they captured you perfectly
Exactly what I thought
