How is it in deep snow?? 😂😂😂

CHA-CHING $$$$$

SNOWTECH Magazine just had a great article comparing SMARTSHOX and DYNAMICS. SMARTSHOX is better all around with controlled dampening and rough trails, plus its less expensive. Love that SKI-DOO feeling 👌

Yes...Polaris is pushing hard on the Gas to bring new products. Unfortunately, they bring STOP RIDES ... due haste makes waste on product design and quality. OMG 😲, not AGAIN!

What the hell happened lynx was always an Arctic cat snowmobile not a skidoo when do they sell the name😊

Would love to have an episode on what you all think of the state of the snowmobile industry with Yamaha and Arctic Cat leaving the market and what you think the future looks like given the high prices and low sales of new units.

I have been a polaris guy for years, from the start of my snowmobiling life actually... last one i bought was 2020 850 assault.. awesome sled... however, due to the continuous recalls and horror stories i switched to skidoo.. had to, its a trust thing... otherwise awesome sleds, loved them when they were dependable...

When I worked in the snowmobiling industry decades ago, it was clear that the Big Four manufacturers didn’t want tough questions. Snowmobiling was the love of my life, but I was concerned that this industry was committing corporate suicide by making one unwise decision after another that repelled so many customers that Arctic Cat and Yamaha are now circling the drain (likely with 2025 being their last snowmobile production year) and overall industry sales plummeted alarmingly. Many years ago, I thought their strategy of burying their heads in the sand would accelerate their demise, and sure enough, it did. My tough questions were intended to get them back on the right track, but they wouldn’t listen. As they lose their jobs and paychecks, I wonder if they will ponder their mistakes. A relevant quote from Walmart founder Sam Walton: “There is only one boss: the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.” Potential snowmobile customers have fired many snowmobile manufacturers with more unemployment certain to follow. Another relevant quote from Robert Schuller: “Big egos have little ears.”

Yawn zzzzzzzz frrrp

looking at the Backcountry XRS coming off Riot ,,can I put the powdermax 2" on the 43" front end?

vmax, and srx viper legendary, yamaha built the best 2 stroke triple ever! and pioneered 4 stroke sleds. now, they packed it in. yamaha would dominate again if they'd just develop a lighter, snappier 2 stroke sled to compete with ski-doo and polaris. their sleds hold their value and are fast, powerful and reliable. its really too bad they have stopped production. new genesis 4 stroke was amazing. power, light weight, reliable and could handle heavy modification but it was a mistake to partner with arctic cat on chassis and designing. i have a 2014 anything that has gone wrong with it is arctic scraps design or parts. also own 3 700 vipers, still give new 800s, 850s and bigger turbo sleds a run for their money even after 20 years. dad had a 70s srx racer back in the day. ran on aviation fuel

I will take whatever one don’t win lol

Play this at 0.25 speed at midnight and enjoy the laughs

It's funny how every year snowmobiles supposedly are always light years ahead of the old models. But if that was the case they should have been perfect years ago. Sure they are better than snowmobiles from 40 years ago especially in the suspension department. But snowmobiles from 30 years ago had great suspensions and most were well balanced and powerful. I would say that the difference between 20 year old snowmobiles and new ones are almost negligible. It's getting to the point where there's not much more you can do to a snowmobile other than to hype it up. I would say the biggest improvements in snowmobile technology was from the mid eightys to the mid and late ninetys hands down.

too expensive

Great review

Put a two stroke CR250r motor on that badboy and it will fly

What did you pay for it in $Canadian

Sold my $14k 850 sled for an old indy 500. Don't need things like electronic suspension to have fun. I feel this is lost on the industry.

Wow Polaris trax tv showing . It’s biased yet again.

Wow. A brand new episode and not a single word, video, pic, or ANYTHING about Arctic Cat. One would think SnowTrax would be on top of this colossal news event. SMH.

I just bought a 2025 600 Blizzard 137. LOVE IT!!! What a great sled!!!

These manufacturers are pricing themselves out of the market. In their zest to stay relivent.

Born in the 50,s. Grew up in Thief River Falls. If you know you know. Ski-Doo was and is my preference

Looks slow .

really love the assault s/b but how many "stop rides" am i gonna have..leaning towards the ski-doo something,w/ yamaha pulling out...nobody has the reliability of a yammy before they jumped into the litter box,all though primo price,more times than not,you got more than what you paid for,bring back the suit sucker twin w/non-ratchet drivers,rebuildable kyb's and a1.50"/retractable picks plus dig a hole in 12"of ice, start a fire in the middle of nowhere and of coarse side scan radar w/shot start,good vid,Merry Christmas to you all!

Would love to buy new but at those prices hell no!! And I would never! With only a small window each year I can’t justify it. Hell last 3 years in Michigan we haven had rideable snow in the southern lower. Prolly put on 20 miles in 3 years! Don’t always have time to drive 3-4 hours north!! Would rather spend it elsewhere like a side by side or older sleds that are more reliable and affordable!!! Keep those prices up and the last 2 developers will also reduce production and stop all together!! Greedy fks! Yall keep pooping in the hands that feed ya! It’s almost comical yall are creating the fastest path to your extinction!!!

still need a comp pkg in 600 and 850 NA with shot!

I have had 2 sent to me neither one fits. Supposedly they are working on fixing the problem.

nice to see you are back on snow

Read the fine print in your warranty , because there will be costly repairs.

Very sad, for Yamaha and Cat.

Arctic Cat is not going anywhere folks. Once u bleed green 💚, u always bleed green

So what is the difference between the 2023 and 2024 assault boost? Simply the tune? Does a 2023 with the upgraded software ride like a 24?

Great to Polaris and ski doo bring new models.

Great video ST TV

Snowtrax can you guys point out where in last years reviews you said the 850 boost feels soft on the bottom and that you preferred the 850 NA?

Guess I made a mistake... i bought 2025 polaris vr1 boost with dynamics

As it seems we've now lost Arctic Cat as well I hope Ski Doo and Polaris are taking copious amounts of notes. Get the price of these sleds down or at least focus on 1 decent trail sled under $15k or we won't have a sport left. Snowmobiling is about escaping the daily grind so why do we need to focus so hard on gadgets and smart shocks etc etc? It's about enjoying the ride. I know alot of folks buy these expensive new machines but alot more don't. Dollars are harder to come by these days than ever before and if we want this amazing sport to survive the prices have to come down.

Great machine but why couldn't cat/Yamaha fix the problem with the front cross bar bending issue.

Do I have to run 87 octane and ethonal button on ? Recall

Spacely Sprockets , Polaris , Vs , Cogswell Cogs , Skidoo , poor Arctic Cat , never owned one , always wondered though , his machine rocks , Green Machine , I had a Big Wheel , take that back , did buy a ported 1999 Thundercat , got 7 mpg , sold it immediately , got more than I payed for it , she looked nice , heavy bitch

2025 is the last year for Yamaha Sleds.. It looks like it's the last year for Arctic Cat Sleds too. The two sleds I own now that are already paid for don't have many miles on them because we don't get much snow anymore in Southern MIchigan .. I hope to make it the Upper Peninsula for the first time this Winter.

Happy Holidays Hosers ! The Great White North , Bob & Doug McKenzie , album , you must have it ? I do

What’s impressive is an Alpine , Twin Track , it’s a monster snowmobile , makes a Titan 850 look like a baby mouse , who will back flip the first one !

Great to see all the new stuff every year.. how about a year to work on reliability.. looking like now we may only have 2 makers of sleds and will be looking north of 20k for a sled.. refine a price point sled to keep the sport alive...thx

SICK CONTENT!!!!

Sic snow scoot 🤔

I used to have the scorpion, little whip,

I love living here in Algoma.
