If the cam was in the upper position it won’t be as playful. Most of us move it into the more transfer position to get the full lively front end.
Yeah im not sure how he had it set up i just jumped on and ripped!! But it was a fun experience either way!
Both engine choices for skidoo are great. The 850 feels more playful and aggressive but the throttle response and smoothness of the 4 stroke is better though. The 850 feels faster for everything besides wide open on very long stretches or across lakes. If you compare the most popular model the renegade XRS the power to weight ratios for the sleds are almost identical.
850- 165 hp/ 488lbs
PTW Ratio- 0.338 (Higher is better)
900R- 180hp/ 525lbs
PTW Ratio- 0.336 (Higher is better)
Power to weight is almost identical
I love my 900 turbo, l had a 2012 1200 and a 2017 1200 . Will never go back to a 2 Stroke
Nice the 900 turbo is a good trail machine for surr
I have the same machine. I can't ride it in sport. To jumpy. I keep it in standard. Makes same power at full wack with out the jerkiness. Great review thanks.
Yeah the jumpy and jerkyness is definitely there i tried some good throttle control which helped but there was times out of no where it hit and I was like oh ok there it is lol
Jolt vs no jolt =Turbo vs non turbo. Kick ass vid on this monster in action 👍🏼
thanks man appreciate it!!
First time I have seen your videos and I suddenly realized you are in my own back yard! Great stuff I am now a sub.
Nice video. I Like that you test out different sleds. I have a 21 Xrs 900 Turbo and it’s a awesome sled. I enjoy your unbiased opinions. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tobey means alot!! I enjoy to test out different sleds and get a feel for them!! There is alot of good choices on the market!!
I ride a 900 turbo and this is a great review of the sled. It sure does feel planted when you lay in the throttle! I'm not sure why it dosen't feel as spinny as my past 2 strokes. Skisoo also does need to upgrade their dash. I bought the garmim GPS mount so I can see the trails
Yes there dash is lacking for sure but I was impressed it just hooks up and goes and has a really good mid range on it!! Thanks for the kind words!!
I love this review. I just put in my order this past week for a 2022 model. It should arrive now on November. This full video made me glad I made the choice. Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate it.
No problem thanks for watching!! Hope you enjoy your 2022
Did you get yours yet? I’m still waiting for mine!!!
@@erihaas yes, the machine arrived in the middle of November. I was literally one of the first here to do a spring order, so I lucked out. Many are still waiting! I hope yours arrives REAL soon!!!
I remember my uncle buying brand new 98 skidoo formula z I was 15 and that thing would weely for miles What it would leave them stranded I’m a Polaris man myself I’ve never owned one that has ever left me stranded knock on wood
Liked your impressions - well done video again
Thanks bud!! Appreciate the support!! Ride safe bro!
While I was watching I was thinking to myself, looks like Pittsburg. Tall Timber is the best! Went there regularly for 15 years until I moved out to MN. Great video!
Hahah great eyes man its was fun up there first time for me!! Ride safe man!
The Pilot X skis are much better than the TX that are on the sled your on. Put some Bergstrom triple points up the middle and just a round wear bar on the outside and your golden. Have your buddy watch the Accelerated Technologies video on suspension set up, really improved my sled. Thought i was dialed in until I had them set up my suspension. Glad you liked the Doo.
Gotcha ill have to let him know!!
4 strokes are great if you wanna be fastest on the lakes but not a trail sled by any means. It is what it is
Well thats not true at all lol. The 900turbo is a better trail sled than the 850
The 4 stroke turbo 900 ace is a better trail sled than the other 4 stroke turbos its only 30 pounds heavier than the 850 xrs
Swap out the exhaust and save some weight..
”Trail” more like a highway 😂
Sounds so much different than my 850 Etec, think I will have to try one.
Trails look nice !
The trails were better that day for sure and yes I would jump on one and give it a try for strictly trails the thing rips hard
I'm old enough to admit my ditch banging days are over, but young enough to still do it.
The newest sled I've had was a 03 Edge 800, sad to say. I have ridden newer rental sleds out west for yrs though.
Thinking of ordering a new ride for 2022. 900 ACE turbo SkiDoo is up there on my list. A Matryx 650 is also in the running. I want smooth, quiet power and gas mileage on a sled that can deliver 250 mile days without beating a guy up.
Matrix 650... or Renegade 900T?
Matryx 650 would be better I think than thr 900 turbo definitely hard to steer than the 650 polaris and that 650 has some good power!!
That thing does seem like a beast. I got to rip on a 4 stroke max like 5 years back for a good 3 hour ride and I was impressed by how it felt actually. Stayin team 2 stroke for the foreseeable future though
im team 2 stroke also but it was cool to ride the 4 stroke turbo and feel how it rides also!!
Great ride video, maybe one of the best!
thanks!!! appreciate the kind words
Great fun man !!!
Cant wait for my Renegade X 2022 with 180 HP !!!!!
Bet that thing is gonna be an animal!!!
@@KotaBearTV Had the 2020 X 150HP engine...twas scary then...lol
Imagine the 180 HP...
30 more horsepower I bet it will be pretty scary then lol
@@KotaBearTV More than enough...dunno where you are in the USA but here in Québec the speed limit is now 70 kph so about 45 mph...and after some disastrous deadly seasons...they definitely enforce the rules here...
By the way your more than welcome to visit us here in Québec....home of Bombardier Ski doo and the best trails in the world
👍😊.....
Bienvenue chez nous !!🇲🇶🇲🇶
Sounds like most places now a days unfortunately which makes it no fun!! Mabye some day I will make it to Canada
people think that this sled has turbo lag but it is actually the throttle itself that lags because it is electric which I can not stand! I have a 2016 zr9000 and you can notice the difference on how the throttle is. mine is also built but that's another story lol!
Yes there is supposed to be ainti lag with the new 900 ace so your supposed to get better throttle response and tell me how built are we talking lol
@@KotaBearTV it's not a drag sled but it's pushing 260hp and trail friendly. definitely a lot of fun to ride!
I bet its an animal.. does it just spin like a bastard with all that torque
@@KotaBearTV I have it studded so it doesn’t spin as badly as you would think. But when it hooks it’s a monster for sure. Maybe if I ever run into you in old forge I’ll show ya.
Would be cool for sure!!
What an awesome video!! You are cool as a cucumber while narrating the video at 95 mph! I just bought. 2021 900 turbo xrs and this just made me feel happy about my purchase. Thank you
Hell yeah man!! I think you will be happy with your purchase for sure its a trail slayer!
@@KotaBearTV I'm stepping off a 2013 cat f1100 turbo with bikeman tunes and many mods. I will be 50 this year and it's time to go back to a normal sled. I ride with a couple of guys who have the non turbo 900. They are so reliable and they have logged on mega miles. We ride central NH so trails are smooth and then you have the goat path trails. Seems this sled will work for me. Your video is one of the best I've seen so far. Slowbee has a decent video on one as well.
Thanks man means alot and the 4 stroke turbo power is different than the 2 stroke but still strong and like you said super reliable so you can put alot of miles on and not worry plus it sips fuel so long trips you don't have to worry about oil and fuel mileage is really good!!
@@thesmallengineguy4694 Not new to riding but looking to purchase a new sled would you recommend the 900 or the 900 ace turbo
Trail 140 looked good on that ride, glad you enjoyed the trails in the Burg, I have a camp on Lake Francis
The 900 turbo is a great trail sled, I have a 16 1200 4-TEC, but I am strictly a flat trail rider ...
Yeah the trails were really nice for sure wish there was alittle more snow but can't complain! That 1200 must be fast as hell??
i have one too
@@KotaBearTV they are
How do you like it??
@@KotaBearTV its amazing, really fast. Have had a little problem with the battery but otherwise its a really Nice sled.
I had a 19 900t and was a good sled but I did sell it for the sidewinder and it was better for me!!
I've never rode a sidewinder unfortunately.
How is SW compared to 900T?
Kota B, Another Great Video, conditions look Great! I hope all is well with your work situation and things are coming along.
Thanks man!! And I have acouple prospects its just not gonna be anything near what I was making before...bit one step at a time
i think you guys should see if you can get your hands on the new mach z that thing looks amazing.
The mach Z looks cool for sure but I don't think any of us will be getting one there is to many other good sleds to choose from
Cool to hear your input on the 900t , I would like to try one.
Thanks bud!! If you have one of your buddies that has one beg them to let you try lol thats what I did
Should of lined them up on the lake. You on your sled vs 900 ace
With my 2 inch track all I did was spin didn't hook up at all
Curious if that sled can handle deep ditches an tree lines drifts every once in while or even break fresh trail after a good storm .
In my experience it it will not more of a strict trail rocket
170 seems pretty hot eh my sled goes to over heat at 184
great video I will stick with my 2 stroke
Same here!! Love the 2 stroke smell and pull!!
If they were to make an SKS out of the Matryx platform, would you take that over your Assault?
That is a very hard decision I can tell you it would be very close which ever one I choose both sleds have great things about them that I like! So I would say right now its a 50 50 of what I would go with I would be extreamly happy with either
Does that have the adjustable wear bars? Maybe that's why it was pushing need to adjust them down more
Yes it does sir he adjusted it alittle here and there it wasn't fully set up yet how ot should have been
Yup that 900ace turbo is heavy till you get on the gas aye, then when your on the gas it becomes light weight
Fun sled to rip around I wouldn't buy one over my 2 stroke 850 assault but still a fun sled to rip with
@@KotaBearTV ive tried a few arctic cat turbos just not the latest and greatest turbos they were heavy till i got on the gas the 2009 arctic cat tz1 turbo short track and another tz1 141 turbo same twin spar chassis diamond drive machines
The older ones I rode from arctic cat all they did was spin and never hook up good and you get in a foot of snow and you were stuck wasnt a fan
@@KotaBearTV i tried them 2 on hard pack
Pierre-Luc j'ai hâte à l'hiver et j'ai pas encore sorti mon bateauj.
What do you think about the 2022 Summit X Expert Package?
After watching this vid I think the 900 turbo is to fast for me
you can ride it as fast or as slow as you want!
I wonder if it is louder than the regular 900 ace?
What do you think of the 180hp type R Turbo theyve announced
That machz with the 180 turbo I bet is an animal hope someone I know gets one so I can test it out!
was that truck TROY powersports NEW HAMPSHIRE where are you riding NEWYORK ?
damm ... nice clear video ... what are you using ?
Gopro hero 8
Looks like Pittsburgh NH
good eye!!
Great review
Thanks man!!
For a four stroke, that thing sounded pretty good and looked pretty quick but I’ll still take my two-stroke. I’m sure the Mpg of that isn’t bad and that’s cool you don’t have to add oil to it if you’re doing longer trips and stuff that’s a pro but you probably gotta give her an oil change once a season. Before we know it they’re going to be making electric snowmobiles LOL
Haha yeah it was fun but I love my 2 stroke the smell the pull everything and yeah they already have electric snowmobiles i think it may be on the market 2022 or 2023

@KotaBearTV the feasibility of electric vehicles is a BOLD FACED LIE! It's a great money maker for people, but it just can't work yet. The mining process, and the building of the batteries 🔋 is one giant ecological nightmare. Plus the fire's created when vehicles are crashed can be extremely hazardous, and hard to extinguish. Then the electricity used to charge these "electric" vehicles, over 65% is created using fossil fuels! The cold has a terrible effect on anything electric!..smfh..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
@@billallen4793 I couldn’t agree more. I agree with you 100%. From upstate New York.
@djg1028 my family is from upstate New York, in the finger lake's area, I was born in Hornell..lol small world 🌎..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Is this the 150hp version? Btw you should make a video where you try the launch control 🙂
Yes this was the 150 hp version and it was my buddies so I won't be able to make anothrr video with it sry
What is the size ... 16 inch 20 inch or 24 inch ?
Have you tried the Sidewinder?
I have unfortunately not got to try a sidewinder
The sidewinder is just insane.
Hopefully I will get to try one some day
Looks like u have to constantly oversteer it, doesn't look to predictable from this point of view
There was a few times I did have to for sure but overall it corners pretty smooth also I think he needed to lower his carbides lower to the group to get more grip
That Forest Gump say "only 150hp"
great video
thanks bud!
Nice sleds ole bud
thanks man!!
where do you guys like to ride ?
I ride mainly new york and maine
Let's see you line em up :) that doo would get smoked
I get way to much track spin unfortunately if I had studs he wouldn't stand a chance
Great vid! Might be my next sled but gotta say still loveeee my 850 Etec with 165 horse. Thing pulls like an animal and the top end is unreal! Pulls hard all the way through. #TeamSkidoo
I haven't got to test the new 2021 xrs 850 etc but when my buddies raced on thr lake it was very close between the 2 sleds!!
@@KotaBearTV hajj
What do ya think Wheelie King you flipping brands 😊?
I switched, doo makes a really smooth sled
I don't think that's gonna happen i like my assault to much and the way the polaris 850 motor hits!
@@KotaBearTV you should try the 850 etec then. That thing screamssss
Max I've rode one before wasent a huge fan but I will prob jump back on one again this year and c how it feels
What the difference between the 900 ace and 900r ace?
The R is ridiculous- 180HP!
30 more horsepower than thr regular 900 ace is crazy wish i could have rode 1
Scary. I'm cool whit my 900ACE and 90 horse. I loose my vision when I send it in sport mode. I would kill my self on one of these. And 2022 they come whid 180 horse, jiiises🤣🤣🤣
Hahaah yeah its not for everyone corners come up fast for sure!!
I got a 2016 900 ACE Blizzard ... got plenty of power for me at 67 years of age ;-)
180 hp not 150 hp ….. get your story correct
Mabye you should do some research before your out here talking shit this is a 2021 skidoo 900 ace turbo which has 150 horsepower the 2022 skidoo turbo mach z has 180 horsepower
Has 4 stroke in the past....Never again, The weight sucks at the end of the day if you go off trail.
I had a 16 arctic cat 4 stroke and I felt the same way but this sled feels different and only weighs 30 pounds heavier than the 850 xrs 137
@@KotaBearTV That's not to bad. Just not a huge fan of the looks. But that's why they make different sleds i guess
This is true everyone has there preference for the sled they like that is why there is so many!
