Best ride I ever had. Made the trip a couple of times

My 600 ctec is no where close to my 850 power wise.

The need to connect your phone to use features is a terrible user experience.

Couple of spring checked BackCountry Xrs 850s for 2025. The wait is tough.

Need that white gold this year.

Fingers crossed and saying a prayer for good snow this year

Got the 2025 arctic cat 858 on spring order! cant wait to ride!!!!!

My question is where do I get the little black covers you removed to put the wind deflector on? I can’t find a part number or picture. I’m installing an ultra low windshield and removing existing deflectors on a gen5 MXZ. Thanks

Hey Mike, Grats on STV! You and Jesse are great ambassadors for the sport. I know I can trust that you guys will always give an honest review. I’m a Yamaha guy looking to make the change to brp. Have they fixed the throttle lag on the turbos? I put on a lot of KM’s per season but love the idea of a powerful quick response of a 2 stroke. Would you recommend a 900 or 850. 98 percent of my riding is trail and I prefer low end torque to overall top speed.

My ‘19 Adrenaline 900T seems so outdated now. Reason I purchased 4 stroke was longevity. With only 5k miles on it, I won’t be upgrading anytime soon. The 5th gen suspension and guage setup is sure sweet though. Thanks for sharing info.

I was gonna buy this but my head is ENORMOUS!

Hopefully next update will be wireless connectivity

I just installed one on my 2023 Expedition 900 but mine had a rubber base and that made it much harder to get those grommets on. So I read some comments and one guy used washers for spacers and a small screw. That’s what I did and it’s perfect. Did you forget you rubber spacer or did it not come with one?

I wish you people would show some of the base models like I'm getting the 900 Ace but not the turbo version and you don't see anything on that and I'm sure a lot of other people are too cuz not everybody can afford what could be their dreams led

What do u do incase of emergncey

Good stuff... wish i could be out there riding those trails, and the night stuff is sweet.

Hi there! You guys passed right next to my house outside of Matane. Glad you enjoyed your trek. Come back any time! :)

would the larger Tread 8" or 10" models fit on the glove box extension?

Interesting, it takes $20000 to make a Skidoo fast but only $2000 to make a Yamaha or Thundercat fast. WTF!

Cricket machine not funny at all. Only an asshole would do that.

I live a half hour from Point a la Croix and sled out there often

why would you have a link oil injection bottle when your etech gets approx 1000kms per litre??

Thanks Mike, love the channel. Struggling with the choice between the 43in and 39in in the 2025 XRS. Any thoughts? Is side hilling still possible in a 43?

Is there a part number yet for this new visor??

Very good How-To, thanks.

My question is, how do you get the sound to come out?

Hey guys enjoy your videos . We have been saddle bagging for years up in Quebec ( Lacking good snow fall here in VT / USA ) with our 4 stroke Ski-Doo Renegade Enduro's Non-Turbo's ,( cheaper price point and non premium gas saves $ ) and I couldn't agree with you more 4 stroke is the way to go up there . This year my friend & I will plan a trip to do a 1200 /1300 mile loop thru Chibougamau starting out of Saint .Michael -Des Saints, Never been on that part of trail 93 and west side of trail 83.We have done most of the central and East sides of Quebec, Hopefully we will catch up will you Sledaddicz's somewhere on the trails this season .Be safe out there and pray for lots of snow ,Later Skip

Hey Mike where did you get the bench ?

Is this the same setup you had in the 2024 season?

Where did you guys stay in Mount V ? The cabin is beautiful so if you can give me that information and be much appreciated.

SWEET! Your video has me missing my 98 Mach ZR!

I have a Harley trike myself. Lost some fingers on left hand. Hard for the clutch. I would surely like to get one of these. I'm hoping to find a place that would take my trike for a trade to help on the price. My Harley is really nice . If you know someone interested.

The changing of the jets was a simple trick dealers did for more speed when racing (lakes) however with the higher fuel flow if you try to trail ride at slow speeds the spark plugs will foul up and you will have a 2 cylinder engine and eventually a 1 cylinder engine, usually you will find one particular cylinder that will always foul the plug first so you will know which plug to change out first. It's actually a pain in the ass and some Mach owners went back to stock jets after a while..ask me how I know lol

For a $100 part for 23-24 sleds just load the BRP go onto the module and let’s have BRP go gps without a phone.. Soo stupid. It’s gonna be a junky base gps that won’t work in areas that arnt huge mapped trail areas I’m sure anyways. Sad brp 10 years later still has the shottiest gauge when compared to Polaris and Arctic cat. Sad really. The gauge looks pretty and has big numbers but it is still useless..

Me and 3 buddies bought these Cardo Packtalk Bold units 3 years ago and I have to say, we aren’t that happy with them. The features and bells and whistles on these are great. In the winter cold, three of us are getting about 7 hrs use ( talking only, not used to play music) but the fourth is only getting about 4 hrs use before his battery dies since day 1. Now the bad part, the range on these seems to be about 100 meters. Beyond that, they start cutting out and then disconnect. Once disconnected, I’ve even had one buddy have to pull within 20 feet of me before the units reconnected. I realize there are trees, hills and obstacles in the way but I was hoping the range would be at least 1/2 km. We updated the firmware but no difference. :(.

I just got an old 1997 Mach 1 700. I was going to get a Mach Z, but the Mach 1 was cheap!

From an insider at Skidoo and without any work done the 97, 98 & 99 Mach's were the fastest from the factory. Not sure if it was the gearing or carb settings or belts used but they were noted by Skidoo as such...

Another great video, Thanks guys. Question: You said this 850 was faster than your Mach Z. Faster for how long? 0-50mph? 0-70mph? I can't see it being faster at top speed?

What works best with glasses?

Thanks for the review, can't help but notice you wear glasses as do I, any problems fogging? I've had 3 seasons with the Oxygen now and I find most times have to ride with the shield cracked open a bit. That said it is hands down the best helmet I have used and I usually try a new helmet every year until I purchased the Oxygen.

Have you thought of using the LinQ adaptors on a Kayak? I have but not sure the 2 screws on the brackets are enough in plastic.

Are they gonna make me take the M test on 2 wheels even tho I want it strictly for the ryker? (Cause I can’t ride 2 wheels. It would seem very unfair if they did)

Thank You Thank You Thank You- I narrowed my choice of Helmet down to The Oxygen and Mission but could not decide which was better for me. Not only did you answer the questions i had about each helmet you addressed things i never even considered . Very informative video based on real world experience! Thanks to your thoroughness I now have the best helmet- just need the snow!

Will the 201 goggles fit in other helmets or are they sized different specifically for the titan?

Omg don’t do that , it dumps extra oil in , and changing plus suck !!!!!!!

Love your content, great info which helps me learn a bit more each time I watch. Ordered two 850 154 2" BC XRS for '25... Can't wait to pick them up. Wife's getting tired of me yapping about sleds 🤓 She's learning too though.

Can you install the Cardo edge in the advex

But you lose your warranty with Mcxpress 210 kit?

Snow machines

They should have the shaft go all the way through so you csn put a nut and a cotter pin. I have heard of the bolt coming out on those.
