The Top Selling Do Anything Go Anywhere Snowmobile | Ski-Doo Expedition

[@JB101inc]

Ol' Mark gave me his word in the spring of 2019. If I traded my 129" Viper for a 2020 Expedition Xtreme, I wouldn't regret it. He was right.

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

Very interesting that this class is top selling. I just got my first ski doo. 22 backcountry 850. Love it!

[@ernieferguson9513]

My third year on the Expedition LE 600r. Love it, love it, love it.

[@duanesnow424]

[@snorelacks7069]

Very excited...just put the deposit down on my 2023 Expedition SE with the 850 e-Tec. This will be my first Ski-doo.

[@UpNorthOutdoors231]

My expedition is the best machine I have ever bought, speaking for myself of course. Hauling wood, backcountry fishing trips, riding backcountry, trail riding, it truly doesn’t matter what I do, the machine impressed me more daily.

[@clemmersmetalworx7012]

Would love to see all the expedition models side by side comparison with option vs option .

[@mikedanaher2409]

Wow. That was a very interesting back and forth interview. I had no idea that was ski doo’s most popular line. It’s definitely a cool sled, especially with the 850. Cannot wait for the other parts in this series.

[@snowtrax]

One more to go! Stay tuned!!

[@800mxz]

Have a 2021Expedition Xtreme 850 - cant believe how good of a job it does at so many things. Live in central MN, does great in hard pack trail, and get to ride off trail in the U.P. 5-6 trips a year, I dont change a thing other than limited strap position. Even went to Buffalo Pass in Colorado last year (11,000') and did nothing but clutching changes and out rode a lot of "mountain" sleds. Can't see myself owning anything else for awhile.

[@jleard]

Got a 2022 le and it is amazing . Loved my summit but this is the way to go ! Cheers and safe riding season

[@ryanloon8533]

i would say a skandic and tundra’s is a go anywhere skidoo where i live no one has this kind of skidoo just tunrda’s and skandic’s in north ont and we go everywhere making trails with those skidoos awesome video yo

[@cavscout43]

Got a Turbo SWT snowchecked this year, only had it out once so far but the floatation is unreal. Doesn't have the power of the Sidewinder (for obvious reasons), but it really a "jack of all trades, master of none." It can do trails endlessly and comfortably (fan radiator + 4 stroke runs cool) with plush performance, you can tow a sleigh or load up the huge back cargo rack for an overnight trip, you can boondock deep in the backcountry solo with minimal risk of getting stuck. Floats right over sugar powder that aggressive summit sled tractoring would trench 2-3' down into. They really knocked it out of the park mating the big utility sled strengths like the VKII and Skandic with the handling of a "sport" sled with few losses in either category. You have more exposed suspension compared to telescoping "pogo" utility suspension, but that's a minor weakness to get the full suspension handling in return. I'd look at the Polaris Titan too if they started offering a 4-stroke option, or maybe the 24" SWT track. That floatation in soft bottomless powder can't be beat.

[@danestrada2522]

We use to all rock summits, now that were all getting older. Most of us have switched to the expedition. Very nice machine.

[@bigguydiy2184]

Funny, our group has RMKs and Summits and we are looking into the Expedition because we are getting older.

I ordered a 2024 Expedition 900 Ace Turbo. I'm very excited to get it. I've ridden Yamaha all my life. This will be my first ski-doo. I need a sled that is the jack of all trades and a Swiss army knife. Excellent video series.

[@Trollet456]

Why not a Viking RS eps ?

[@gregggirardin6147]

A few reasons. Yamaha is getting out of snowmobile. The Viking isn't a comfortable riding sled. My brother works at a ski-doo dealer.

[@notmyname3883]

That same thing that happened to me with bikes has now happened to me with snowmobiles: You have priced me OUT OF THE SPORT. You simply don't make a $5,000 basic ADULT sled anymore. When the cost of a snowmobile rivals that of a good rental property, I'm done.

Love this sled. Have not been in the sport long but I started with a 06 Yamaha SX viper. Wanted something brand new so I bought a 2021 Expedition LE in 600R engine and I put a lot of accessories on it. I love it. I trail ride sometimes and also head out with an Uncle who still traps. Works great everywhere. It is heavy though. The 600R is about 620 lbs I think. The only think I wish is that their accessories were not sooooo expensive. The LINQ system is awesome but very pricy.

[@duanesnow424]

hey I just bought the same sled, 2022 expedition SE. How many miles on yours? Any compaints? So far I love mine and we got a ton of snow this year :)

[@sabraitis]

Great show guys. Love when you two get together.

[@thekoolkidsrock]

If I had a trapping camp this would be the sled I would be purchasing

[@dashcam3098]

I have the 2017 expedition SE and love it, I only wished that they made a turbo for that beast.

[@LiamG903]

I have a titan but same kinda class. I think the reason for this class being popular is they can tow, ride two people good for making trails and some off trail fun. They are capable on the trail and really the Swiss army knife of sleds. A sled like this allows you to still head out ice fishing and getting some firewood while also hitting trails when we get good seasons. More specialized sleds you really do need to get good dumps on snow and can be hard to swallow when you've spent 20 k and can't really head it much if at all.

Titan is a great sled too. Thanks for commenting!

[@jonasgussvattnet]

Luke, check out the Lynx Commander GT. That one is almost a fully kitted out Grand Touring version. 😃

[@helenep6674]

We had few grand tourings before and now were sitting on a 2018 expedition 1200se which we love but missing from the touring is bigger passenger back rest, front and rear softer seat, plug in for boot warmers,wider mirrors and quieter track but higher the lugs noisier they are but its not a deal breaker, we like the stowable winch under the seat,high low range to crawl around, cooling fan (no more looking for loose snow for heat exchanger) and off trail capabilities and reverse capabilities with the tilt up track...now what I hate about the new gen expedition(i have the 2018 version) and hoping they change when i decide to upgrade is go back to manual forward reverse high low range lever operated there's so many complaints about this electric set up that doesn't work half the time(were not that lazy as to move a lever instead of pushing a button!) and yeah get LED headlights and wider skis(stock not optional skins!) and arched front a arms! And bring back the winch on the se, BRP is selling optional LED headlights so you know the stock ones suck ! like supertrax says: bring on a GT expedition!!!

[@snorelacks7069]

What would you say the biggest difference in comfort is for the rear passenger. Looking at both this sled and the GT and want to pick the one that is most comfortable for my wife on back. Happy wife...happy life. Thank you.

[@hamag1973]

I really like my 2014 Expedition sport. Now whit 7160 kilometers on it. I'm thinking of changing the sparkplugs for the first time🙂 I have done som mods to it, changed the seat, extra LED lights (ski-doo original parts) so it fits my needs a bit better. When the time comes to change my choise would be a Expedition but I think whit a wider drivebelt as the LE or SE. But my dream would be with a new really good tube suspension front end for the best preformance in deep snow but also really god on the trail. I mean better then they are to day. Maby some day Ski-doo will offer a new tube suspention at least as good as todays A-arm suspention. Got to have dreams😊

Well.. Really need to test drive the new Expedition, because old one is still awesome. Then again, now it will be more a comparison with the new Lynx Commander, which is easily the best wide track sled I´ve ever driven. Company I work for just bought 1 and next season we will have 3 more

Just snow checked 2024 Expedition SE 900 ACE over the GT only because we will be 95% trail riding, we will also be fishing on occasion and we like the ample storage on the Expedition for long trips compared to the GT.

Guess not much to report on from Polaris, hmm except for their/my Snowcheck debacle. Sleds on the dealer floors for non-snowcheckers, and no sleds for snowcheckers. What a joke. Ski Doo lookin better and better at this point. Gorgeous sleds.

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

Ski Doo rules ! I think this Expedition platform is the most versatile and practical. I’m just trying to figure out which engine choice between the 600R and the Ace 900 . Input anyone ?

[@duanesnow424]

hi, I just bought a 2022 expedition LE 900 ace. Went for 1 ride 70 kms. Didnt like the engine/ throttle and clutching and engine braking. I found it twitchy or jerky. It was also a bit under powered. I returned it at the dealer and got a 600 R SE expedition. Great sled. Gobs of power and excellent throttle response and very linear power and smooth operation. Its a sled you can take a pile of gear, 2-up ride, tow logs, or go for a fun blast with your buddies. Unless quietness is your main desire, and engine longevity, I dont get the popularity. I doubt if the fuel consumption is much different in the 2 engines also. Hope this helps :)

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

@@duanesnow424 Hey thanks for you feedback ! That’s what I’m looking for , real world riders who know from experience. 95% of my buddies who ride are telling me the same thing… Go for the two stroke ( no matter what brand , they’re mostly Cat and Ski Doo aficionados) but they all advocate the simplicity and pure brute power and responsiveness of the two stroke , plus the lower cost of a rebuild when it necessitates . I’m looking at the Renegade Enduro 600 or the Expedition

@@NorthwoodsNomad hi The enduro is great for trails and comfort. The expedition has the wide track and articulation for maneuvers in reverse.
