Currently looking at buying one of these, this is definitely making my decision easier…. Now if you could do a video explaining to my wife why I need it, that would be great!😂
Ross, this is the best Lynx video I’ve seen yet. I spent all last year on a Shredder 4100 learning the sled … made some tweaks to it this year on clutching/gearing and suspension tuning and like you’re alluding to in this video ‘made it mine’ …. Those tweaks changed my initial perception of how this sled handled and the last couple rides validated that. So, IMO …. This sled isn’t for a new rider. It’s for riders who have a few years experience riding and tuning …. But if you fit that description, you’ll wind up making it work really well for you and want to ride it every weekend :)
I would just say that when the terrain gets rough, Lynx lights up. xterrain 850re atm, would have had the brutal but did not have the PPS2 rear (it is over the top good suspension). Spring ordering the new version.. Turbo might be nice for the flufflufluf, but for my needs 2t is good. If going for 4t, then turbo for sure.
Hopping off my turbo alpha, and onto the turbo Lynx.....the power on the Lynx is very linear, and it definitely has the ski-doo riding feel I'd guess due to the classic doo steering shaft angle. I really like the sled, but the super wide stock skis on it seem ridiculous, but perhaps id get used to them with time as doo always has been.
I have had a lot of Yamaha in my life. The last one was a Sidewinder Mtx 2019. I have had only one Lynx Boondocker in my life. A 2016, 800 and in 4100/163" for a couple of years. Great machine. My wife has a Ranger 49 Pro with the 900 ace and that is a 2020. Bought the Ranger brand new in 2021. Have only had the Ranger the last 2 seasons. Now im thinking of buying a Boondocker again 850 and a 4100. So im going used snowmobile again. Dont think its worth the money buying a new. But hey. Thats me. I think its cool as hell that North America got to try and buy these machines. I have always wondered why the Lynx took so long to get to the US. Greetings from the north of Sweden.
I would think you would like the shredder for the dual rail skid and suspension characteristics especially in the more technical terrain. would take you a few rides to get used to the steering GEO compared to cat.
@@Rossxr thanks for replying! I think so to. I live in Sweden so lynx is a well known brand. But since the pricing is so steep these days a little homework needs to be done :) keep up the good, and thanks for all the content
Awsome build! But you spend 4k swapping out the best shocks on the market? Not very reassuring. The sled costs 27.000USD stock in Norway, not very keen to spend much more. What ruined shirt? 😂 Won’t the wide skis work against getting on edge again? How much wider is the body of the shredder vs summit/freeride? Hoping BRP revisits the spindels for 2025.
Im wokingin with fox for a few reasons. one they have been a longtime sponsor of mine. Two, they are significantly lighter than the stock shocks. I also said best shocks that come stock on a sled (not aftermarket) The fox's offer me more adjustability without having to have them revalved. They also have more features Like QS3 (quick 3 position switch) on both rear and center shock. This allows me to make changes depending on conditions with just the flip of a switch. For skis yes the lynx is a little bit harder to GET on edge. but once on edge it is more predictable and holds an edge easier. The body is the same width as the summit and freeride.

I'll write some things up for my next video!
I have a 2022 G4 Except & DS 4100 the Lynx definitely will rip through the bumps nice and smooth at high speeds
Love our Shredder RE! Insane sled right from the crate!

boom! couldn't have said it better myself. thanks for the comment!
Ive had a rave and now an xterrain 850, love them both

i'd love to rip the ranger around. happy lynx makes some "different" sleds for the market. thanks for the watch!
I am on a alpha, being eyeing the shredder for a while now. Anyone made the switch alpha to Lynx? And is it worth it?

Why is steady getting refreshed
What air pressures in the rear skid shocks? Front rear? Both cambers, lets hear it?
currently working off reccomended shock pressures from fox. bumped them up a little bit in air but just 10psi.
👍👍👊

I love the factory suspension. The only downside is weight. The fox's save 20lbs. Body isn't that much wider than its cousins
