Trucks are all 100K + now, houses are 400k+ Sleds being 25K is all relevant. We keep asking for better handling, more power, smart screens, gps tracking, less weight. Well guess what they gave it to us and it's going to cost us. Well Polaris and Skidoo gave it to us. Arctic Cat is stuck in 2012 somewhere holding onto the Alpha Rail for dear life....

@@SlipperyDucky The Alpha is actually genius though. Off trail. Obviously ona trail it's gonna handle like shit. But Arctic Cat is literally the answer to all of this. They're simple, reliable, they work well, look nice, lightweight. And they don't cost more than a car. And the fact that they haven't changed the chassis in 10 years is actually a good thing because you can always find parts for them. And there's nothing wrong with that chassis, so why change it?

The thought of four stroke longevity is tempting to me at 50 years old and slowing down at trail riding. The new Polaris four stroke is 90 hp and 100 pounds heavier than the two strokes. No thanks. Even if they up the hp with a turbo I’m not dealing with an extra 100 pounds.

It's insane, prices are way up and riding season is becoming less and less. I use to ride almost 7 months a season in the Sierras because we had the snow. Now, we get half the snow, half the rides, makes no sense to buy a new sled every 2-3 years. Only a few places left in N. America that consistently get good winters, so it seems.

I snowchecked an rmk boost this year, I was split between Polaris and doo but I’ve been looking over the fence from doo for a few years and I decided to try the polaris for my step into turbos. Anyway I was comparing the 155/154, turbo, short tunnel, E start (I think doo would only let me select shot), fancy display. The skidoo was a couple G’s more due to shot start being $1000cad+ and the $2500cad for the new display. The rmk I ordered will be $30k out the door with BC taxes and registered and insured in BC. Only extra options I selected were the mini burandt bag, orange color everything, bumper, skid plate. It’s a lot but if your getting a factory cut tunnel turbo big bore sled then what do you expect.

As ridiculous as 25k might seem for a factory sled, it’s not terrible compared to 5 years ago paying $17,000 + $5,500 for an aftermarket turbo and clutching that voids warranty. These turbos make cleaner more reliable power, with 2 years warranty for the same price as most people’s 5 year mods and turbos. You can still buy new N/As for 18,000 but that’s not as exciting.

Everyone hates on Arctic Cat but I'm seeing a lot of comments in here about how sleds need to "go back to being simple". If you haven't noticed, that's exactly what Cat is doing. All the benefits of a modern sled in terms of handling, suspension, and power, but they're still just simple sleds. Mine is just a regular reliable 800cc motor bolted to a durable 153" skid. Nothing fancy, just something simple that actually works. I also think Polaris was doing well with this until about 2 or 3 years ago. The AXYS Pro RMK 850 was a really nice sled when it wasn't super optioned out. But Polaris had the reliability problem. Either way, I think a lot of people are gonna start switching to Cat soon

My big thing is why do we need this fancy gauges! Like am I the only one that dosnt need a touch screen display? Hell I don't know how much data I need to look at on a sled other than RPM, miles and mph. Can we just get back to sleds being simple machines and not with 10 miles of wiring in it just to make it start and ride. I can't see my self ever buying a show room floor new model at 20k. My next sled will be some 2016-2018 sled where the price is more reasonable. Ill way till the bottom falls out in the market and scoop a sled up for cheap.

I was in Fernie this weekend and the trucks were lined up for a mile down the road from the parking lot and that's just one spot. With it being more difficult to travel out of the country I feel like a lot of people got into sledding over the pandemic. I sold some older sleds to upgrade and I got more than I paid for all four of them and some I had for 4 years. Everything was selling like hot cakes. High demand plus low supply equals high prices. They are definitely getting super expensive but I know guys back in the late 90's that were dropping 30k on motors and I'm pretty sure these sleds off the factory floor would waste those machines now days. If you think about what u had to spend before to get a comparably capable machine as the ones today you likely had to spend more. And you can buy a 2 or 3 year old kick ass machine with no miles on it for under 10k today.

People think the prices are going up, in reality the currency is worth less each and every year. Inflation in the real sense is more accurately running between 12% and 15%. It's not that manufacturers are making more $, their margins are thin. I also agree we are at the end of snowmobiles as we know it. I have been sledding for +50 years, they are better than ever today I may or may not pick up a new one from the showroom later this year, no turbo, if there are any. You youngsters have the best days of snowmobiling and the worst ( prices too much to justify ). I think the sport as a whole will begin to be deemed too damaging to our environment, the dealers will slowly disappear , a long with the manufacturers for awhile. It has already begun with the banks using ESG to score business loans. Enjoy it while you can.

My biggest problem with the new sleds is longevity. There is no reason they shouldn't last 4000-5000 miles. Who's going to buy that $30k sled with 2000 miles, it would cost a fortune to repair.

When you take a step back and realize how much power these motors are making per CC - it's a wonder they run at all. Just to compare a typical 5.2L small block Chevy - if they made the same amount of power per CC as these N/A 850's are, your every day small block Chevy would be making over 1,000 horsepower. That's pump gas with no turbo or anything. Just think about that for a second...

Hang snowmobiling up. Buy a Motocross bike instead. Way cheaper, lasts longer, cheaper to rebuild, and can add a snowmobile track to it.

Whether it’s houses, vehicles, or toys - it’s all frightening. I’m concerned about the vehicle and rec markets crashing like homes did in ‘08. Everyone is financed through the nose and there will come a time when the banks say “no” to a bunch of people at once which will annihilate the market. I don’t know when, but it seems inevitable with so many people carrying over negative equity with each purchase.

Vehicle and recreational vehicle markets crashing isn't going to be nearly as catastrophic for the economy as home prices cashing would be. But it's crazy there are actually people buying 22K USD sleds, especially in places like here in the Midwest where we ride about 2.5 months of the year.

@shane677h 2 жыл бұрын
@@matth8924 I think this crash could be equally as dramatic for those that make payments on everything. I'm in Canada and know of many people that dropped nearly $30K and make a few trips to the mountains a year... so call it 15 riding days. If/when the market crashes and that sled is worth $15K and the balance owing is $25K, we're all in trouble. Us powersports enthusiasts are a special breed lol.

$30000 for a sled, absolute stupity. I find anymore instead of giving us a good track they give you a 10 screen. Really who cares. Your riding in a bush. How about something we can afford. Helmet face shields don't last snowmobile suits don't last $65000 trucks $10000 plus trailers to put on 2500km in a good season for the average rider. Just crazy

Electric sucks. Snowmobile trails aren't open half as often as they use to be. Winters dying wether or not it's global warming or what ever. Electric vehicles aren't going to save this planet. Every ones buying ATVs because you rode the.year round sort of ( plow snow) Or buying themselves a nice shiny new truck. And staying away from the toys . Because they can't afford anything else. And Gas is NOT ... Going to get cheaper. PERIOD. It's only going to get more expsenive from here on. Once my sled dies I'm over it. And electric sucks !
