- Jesse and Mike got the news that sled 1 of 3 has arrived and they head down to Team Vincent Motorsports to build the sled with them. What a great time unboxing this beauty of a machine, and also going through the build and PDI process. It was also cool to see how Smart Shox get calibrated for the sled. Huge thank you to our dealer TVM, for continuing to provide us with the opportunity to get involved with the build process. We had a blast as always!

Congrats, Sweet ride.
Thanks man!
NIce to see Ski-Doo screwing crates together. I was a setup guy as a kid I always swore the shippers at the factory were paid by the nail. It was easier to smash the crate to pieces then pull them apart.
Hey Greg! Cool. Haha ya good to see Ski-Doo is getting better in that regard! If you aren't already, please consider subscribing to the channel to stay up to date on our newest content. It helps us out a lot! Cheers, Jesse
Congrats on the new sled Jesse!
Thanks Paiste!
Can't wait for snow! I just went out and put the trickle charger on our sled batteries. I'm ready to start sledding.
Woohoo! Winter is coming :)
Cheers, Jesse
Congrats on the new sled , Jesse
Thanks Brian!
Nice lookin sled! Can’t wait to see videos of it on the snow
Thanks man! We really appreciate you watching. We aren't slowing down all winter! VIdeos already scheduled out into December before we can even ride lol. Cheers, Jesse
Excellent video👍🏼 cool to see what the new sleds bring with them. Looks like you bought the perfect “cross-over” sled
Thanks Patrick! It was a cool and new experience for me as well. I had a lot of fun. I wouldn't say perfect crossover - that sled's ETA is still unknown :)
Cheers, Jesse
How convenient, friend of mine just recommended team Vincent for my seadoo winterizing and now im seeing this.
Haha. Small world man! Thanks for tuning in. Cheers, Jesse
Awesome sled. I'll need to wait for a used one in a couple years.
Hey Mark! All that matters is that you get out sledding and make memories. Sledding is sledding at the end of the day! Cheers, Jesse
Sweet looking ride can’t go wrong with this choice for sure
Thanks man! Super excited to try it. I finally got my hands on an 850 turbo r but the guy wanted 4K above what he was paying for it lol. Cheers, Jesse
Great Video.
Nice Renegade.
Thanks man! It is indeed a renegade in my eyes lol. Cheers, Jesse
Cool! Excitement in the air!
It certainly is!! Cheers, Jesse
Why didn’t you get a 4 stroke for all those long trails? You must add more than 5,000klm per season?
It depends. Now that I am back in school I have less time to ride. Last year I only rode about 4000 kms. The season before I rode 13,000 kms. I'm much more of a two stroke guy. I like the snappiness and lightness when putting on 450+ km days plus I also love backcountry riding. I usually trade and get a new sled every season so the kms of a 2 stroke don't concern me. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz wow. In 1 season you took a 2 stroke straight into a top end rebuild amount of km. That's amazing. I'm lucky enough to get out nearly every day in the winter and I haven't come close to over 10,000 in a season.
@shperax thx buddy. I rode as much as I could that year that's forsure. The sled still lasted all of last season tho and blew up on the last day at 16,800 kms! Still was able to run it back to the hotel on one cylinder. Cheers, Jesse
I like how you put the tail light on and then decided to put the tunnel protector on lol
@@sleddheadxp800rwe didn't.. we put the rad protector on and then riveted in the tail light.
Congratulations on your first build. Looking forward to your videos this season.
Sudbury is waiting for ya! 😅
Thanks brother. We've got another season of content coming! Haha hopefully I can get back up to Sudbury to ride and maybe do some more grooming. Who knows! Cheers, Jesse
Sweet ride buddy congrats bring on the snow lol see you in Cochrane .
Thanks Paul! Haha we will see you there. Mike is heading up the 16th and I can only get up there the 22nd. I have an exam at 9am on the 22nd in NY and then flying to toronto and connecting to timmins and Mike is picking me up at the airport lol. We will both be there till the 31st. Cheers, Jesse
So you guys got 2- XRS 137’s? I thought one of you got a Backcountry XRS for this year? Who is the 3rd sled for
I got a mxz xrs 850 137 and mike got a bcxrs 850 and a renegade xrs 900 137. Cheers, Jesse
You’re right on the screen not sure why it’s not a proper gps. I had to get a new screen after last season under warranty. Same issue Mike was having how it would just black out in a ride.
Yup! That issue was happening on older model sleds too. Our understanding was it had something to do with bad connections and snow dust getting in. Cheers, Jesse
I wonder if youd be able to use the Budds suspention travel for the smart shocks to be able to balance out the weight transfer of the sled with you on it. Would be so much easier then throwing it on scales and doing it that way
Hmm that's a cool idea!
What track are you putting on that bad boy?
Check your DMs :)
Cheers, Jesse
16.5K USA money?
MSRP on the website is 24.5K CAD so 17.9K USD I believe. Cheers, Jesse
Hopefully you are not going with a Ice Storm track, as I had that combo last season on my 23 Renegade XRS, and it didn’t go particularly well, the inboard idler in the skid is not spaced properly for the drivers on that track, and drivers on the outside are also very tight to the outboard idlers on the axle. The inboard idler was resolved by using a G4 generation wheel, the offset or profile is slightly different, couldn’t do anything with the rear, and anyone that followed would say they could smell like a rubber or plastic melting smell, and it wasn’t the hyfax, it was the wheels rubbing on the drivers of the track, you couldn’t track it either direction.
No ice storm for me. That's great to know though! It was on my list as I had heard lots of positive things about it with the shorter outer lugs. Cheers, Jesse
Too much smart stuff for my liking for the amount of snow/ riding I do in a year I'd be more than happy with the regular shocks and guages. Less to go wrong that way in my opinion. Still a nice sled though
Thats definitely one way to look at it! Nothing wrong with regular shocks and gauges. But at the end of the day as technology progresses it gets incorporated into modern sleds. The new gauges have not let be down once and let me do so much more then I could have done before with the analog gauge. Cheers, Jesse
So what did you build? Id be impressed if they just sent the parts not together.
Hey Mike. I'm not sure I really get the point of your comment. All consumer sleds come from the factory like this and have to be "built" - which means put some parts on, check track tension, etc. and PDI the sled. Obviously we aren't building a consumer sled from scratch. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz If "build" is the proper word for it, then there is clearly many levels to this. Bought many sleds from the race dept in crates. Never felt like I "built" something. Not even when we trail converted them. Just my opinion.
@mikeh4053 fair enough. At the end of the day it's semantics.
@@sledaddicz i spell semantics C L I C K B A I T. So you got me. It's ok. Gotta waste my relax time doing something
@mikeh4053 how is it clickbait? You see the word "build" but don't notice the massive skidoo crate in the thumbnail? Every modern sled comes like that.
☃️👍👍❤️
Hey Bruce!
Holy smokes. So complicated!
It's not too bad once you get the hang of it! Cheers, Jesse
Why would you buy this? It’s the exact same sled and even the same exact color as your guys 2023 renegade lol.. seems like a big waste of money?
Thanks for the comment! Actually if you watch the channel, Jesse is coming off of a 2022 Renegade XRS 850 that blew up the last day of our Cochrane ride after 16,500 kms. He was due for an upgrade anyways so not sure why you think it's a waste of money. This is precisely the right sled for him to replace his old one with. Thanks! Cheers, Mike
@@sledaddicz o thought you guys shared sleds. I’m guessing you are the one that had the 23 XRS silver and red one then? I was wondering because you have the exact sled to the same color lol..
We do share sleds. Mike had the 23 XRS yes. However, Mike is upgrading his 2 sleds as well. It is not abnormal for us to upgrade from one year to the next, even if the sled hasn't changed much if at all. We put 6000kms + on each sled every season and with only two years of manufacturers warranty, we usually sell our sleds yearly. We upgraded our 21 xrs's to our 22 xrs's and they were the exact same minus the colour change. The 2024 MXZ XRS is also not the same colour as last years xrs. Last years was a darker grey this year is more of a metallic silver. The sleds do not look the same at all. There is also the new adjustable brake lever on the 24s. Cheers, Jesse
