Still no SHOT included on the 600 XRS Comp despite Doo proclaiming the 600 class gets all the goods now. So frustrating... customers have been asking for literally 10 YEARS. Why would they not want to save an additional 20 pounds in the XRS Comp especially when its heavier than the competition.

You guys need to address the 10.25" screen with GPS so people know what they are getting, or really not getting in this case. Adding GPS only allows the map to track you and will drop bread crumbs. What BRP isn't talking about that needs to come out is, if you still want to use the main features of a true GPS system like creating a route, seeing points of interest to route to, etc, this still requires you to plug in your phone and run the BRP GO app. Huge miss and I feel people are being mislead. Plus no buddy tracking without cell coverage. How many years is BRP going to screw this up?

@sledaddicz8 ай бұрын
Very different.. The turbo in the freerides and summits is more of a compensator. Meaning as you gain altitude, the turbo kicks in to continue to deliver the same consistent 165 hp. The 850 Turbo R in the backcountry and mxz models gives you a full 180 hp at ground level, so you definitely notice it compared to the NA 850s. Cheers, Jesse

I've heard this before and I'm a Doo guy now after being a lifelong cat guy. They all have great sleds now and imo there's a reason skidoo has 50+% of the market. I'd gladly add 1 of each manufacturer to my stable if I could.. I feel ST represents all sleds openly and honestly hence why I value they're opinion. This new front end was the missing link for doo and it's ski-doos reveal maybe that's why it feels doo heavy.
