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.
Would love to see all the expedition models side by side comparison with option vs option .
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.
Very interesting that this class is top selling.
I just got my first ski doo. 22 backcountry 850. Love it!
Got a 2022 le and it is amazing . Loved my summit but this is the way to go ! Cheers and safe riding season
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.
One more to go! Stay tuned!!
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.
🤣
Personal problems
They havent made a 5k sled since a car was 12k
@@bradenns2417 you're missing the point
Awesome to see snowmobile vids back!
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.
My third year on the Expedition LE 600r. Love it, love it, love it.
I just bought the 2022 600r. Very happy with it
We use to all rock summits, now that were all getting older. Most of us have switched to the expedition. Very nice machine.
Funny, our group has RMKs and Summits and we are looking into the Expedition because we are getting older.
Great show guys. Love when you two get together.
Thank you for bringing my question to BRP. Very informative.
Very excited...just put the deposit down on my 2023 Expedition SE with the 850 e-Tec. This will be my first Ski-doo.
Love all these videos with Ski-Doo!!
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.
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.
Interesting thoughts. A worthwhile conversation!
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.
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 :)
Luke, check out the Lynx Commander GT. That one is almost a fully kitted out Grand Touring version. 😃
I have the 2017 expedition SE and love it, I only wished that they made a turbo for that beast.
It does everything so well, dont ever think these are slow machines. VERY trail and boondock competitive! And pull firewood 😄
Great video, I absolutely love my new Expedition. Looking forward to years of enjoyment and winter work with it. Kudos to BRP on a great machine.
What engine do u have??
@@duanesnow424 900 Its just the sport model. all I will ever need .
Great interview. I love that BRP actually listens to and interview customers .
May have to take a closer look at the Expedition when I replace my Renegade
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!
nobody cares
@@sausages6135 your parents didn't thats for sure.
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!!!
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.
Great video and insight guys, weird question but what song do you use for the intro?😂 I like it
Where did your guys review go on the summit expert and backcountry x?
If I had a trapping camp this would be the sled I would be purchasing
Would like to know all the track widths and lengths of all the Expedition models. And ski widths as well.
Should have reminded him that us consumers want LED lights lol
Awesome Segment👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am just getting back into snowmobiling and wondering if there is a fishing special Expedition sled I noticed a lot of my CZcamsrs I watch use the 900 turbo Expedition, but I was wondering if there's a fishing special.
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
as aperson who patrols powerlinesin deep snow and moutainous conditions withthe600 e-techskandic SWT and find it amazing there are times wishit came with the 850 e-tech, if I were to by sled for my self it would be the Expedition Xtreme if they would offer it with a 24 inch track
When will the super wide skandic get the 900 turbo?
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😊
I have a '14 with 12k on the clock, still has the factory plugs.
Can’t wait for my SE 900T to come in!!!
I want an LE version of the sport with 16 wide track. Have the 600r as an option. Also expand the 850
@luke Lester Looking good dude! you have leaned out it appears ! P.s. im on a diet too but its one of those where i am barrowing from my food funds to pay for a 22M850 Boost K. S. 155. Should be a wild year if it ever snows
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.
I have a question that needs to be awnsered. Why did my 2022 Expadition Extreme priced at $25,000 (after $3000 in accessories) not come with the deluxe gauge cluster?
My 24 900r turb on order 28 out the door 3k in accessories.. still no Delux gauge..
Not sweating it il be eyes forward hauling the mail lol
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.
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
imho this market segment (actually I'd say the expediction spans multiple segments due to the extreme) is the biggest miss right now for Yamacat. Especially since both companies sell sleds in Russia.
I would like to hear more on utility machines
We need to get the curved a arms like the lynx
For me, the extra 4 inches of track width and low range that comes with the WT was not worth the extra $2500 so I bought the Sport 900 ACE to go along with my '14 Sport 600 ACE.
How is it running so far?
@@rocb4222 3700 flawless km so far, my only real complaint is that the feel of the electronic throttle is a bit weird.
@@ih302 that’s where I’m hesitant to pull the trigger,be nice if I could test it out first hand, I gotta admit that reliability that’s getting my attention that’s for sure
@@rocb4222 To me it's not a deal breaker, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
Expedition Sport 130 turbo would fit perfectly between the top of the sport and the bottom of the LE. Call it the touring and you will sell every one made.
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 ?
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 :)
@@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. The new gen4 expedition is fairly nimble, especiallywith the 600R. Its response and lighter feel helps as well. The rmotion on the enduro probably has a better ride with 1 person but the expedition is better with a passenger imho
Nice ski doo but they should do something about sock in gas tank 20 that I No now have trouble with it
If I could find one I would have one
How does the 600r etec do in the powder when it comes to power? Interested in that motor on the se model.
Its amazing...I just bought the 2022 exped SE 600 R. It has plenty of power. Very torquey. Lift the skis no problem. Very pleased. Had the 900 and returned it
@@duanesnow424 did the 900 seem anemic compared to the 600r. Thank you for your reply.
@@inupik23
Yeah i guess it did , it had lots of pull and torque at low rpms but seemed to run out of legs fast. The 600R has better throttle response and is more linear power delivery. This makes it feel more nimble. Its slightly louder than the 900 but still just about as good on fuel
@@duanesnow424 We just snow checked a 900 for next year (non turbo) is it that much of a dog?
@@mikeperin6142 i owned both engines. The 900 has good power but i preferred the 600r power and clutching. It was smoother shifting and linear throttle response. I found the 900 very jerky when off and on the throttle. The 600 is more fun for sure
skidoo is awesome
Agreed. The price of these sleds is absurd. When I can buy a good used vehicle for the same price something is wrong with your price model.
So, if this does everything, how is it different from the Backcountry models?
I haven’t actually looked but it’s probably clutched/geared different to haul heavy loads.
It’s more of a workhorse than the back country, much bigger in stature, the backcountry’s line are much more nimble and sport tuned
A few key things. For me, the two speed gearbox, radiator and modular storage are indispensable. The 20x154 adds a lot of confidence and really doesn't get in the way.
i got the sport exp 600 efi; new to sledding; enough power for me and my 13 yr old grandson; mine came with a 2 up seat; $1200 to add one; gearing different from what i have been told; great on trail and can hit some powder when i want to and ditches; although just learning how to do that lol
Why do the 850s blow up?
Surprised they even did a ski Doo video since they are in Polaris back pocket
Welcome to the Ski Doo channel!
It's strange seeing it. They've been a Polaris channel for so long.
This might be the funniest comment I've seen this year. I'm taking a screenshot to save for the next time we're accused of being paid off by Polaris...
@@snowtrax you guys have been pushing Polaris hard the past few years. I was seriously considering ordering a new XCR after being blown away riding the VR1 last year. Instead I ended up on a 22 MXZ XR-S that someone backed out of at my buddies dealership. Does this mean Mark has to stop wearing his Indy undies?
@@snowtrax Settle down Beavis, it is all good!!
Just a little positive sarcasm that is!
@@stianmathisen4284 Same.
Do you know anyone that has a ski do expedition, extreme lava red for sale?
No, but keep your eyes open online. Something will eventually come up.
Yet again you want sled info and specs you watch Snow Trax!!!!!
And, ah, and AH, Ah, Ah and Ah, and AHHH, Ahhh....Sound familiar. Trudeau...lol!
Its crap, my 2020 hasnt run right since i bought it and the dealer here wouldn't send it out for warranty. Bring back the open hood concept so a person can fix it out in the boonies at 40 below.
I’d pretty much bet there’s no dealerships in Florida.
Should say DRZ 400 on the panels
How do you justify paying 25k or more for this model and only being able to use it maybe 4.5 months a year...I bet they don't sell to many at that price and then all the other expenses that are associated with owning a new unit like this insurance gas oil transportation etc....pretty ridiculous and then the high level of depreciation as well
Hi
What I've seen these things pulling 3500 lbs in alaska with ease on a daily basis
These are just some touring snowmobiles, heavy and the design makes them hard to drive
True powder snowmobiles:
Lynx 3900 GL
Lynx GL250 Syncro
Aktiv Karibo
Yamaha BR250T/TR with flip
I can’t buy a $30000 machine for 2 months of riding.
Why not point at and show/tell us the tecnical advantages of this & that? This is a lousi commercial.
Bah! An old beat up Skandic(Lynx-Bombardier) with WIDE TRACK(24"SWT) is far better...you cant follow in deep snow!
Too much money
Does anyone else stop watching after hearing “uh” a hundred times?
My wife being French Canadian....no.
Sounds like a democrat here in the states.
Ask Ski Doo why their website SUCKS.
You can tell Robin is not enthused he has to speak English and not French
