What a way to start a Saturday morning!! Egg and deer breakfast sausage with fresh coffee and a Snowtrax review.... All before a SxS ride!! Gonna be a great day! Thanks guys 😄😄😄
Have an awesome day!!
@@snowtrax Will do! You guys as well.... Keep up the great work this is my favourite channel on CZcams!
I'm loyal to Ski-Doo, however Polaris' GPS system, the 650cc two stroke, and the ability to customize colors (and LED's) is further ahead of what Ski-Doo can offer. Hopefully they can come up to par for the 2023 model's, as I was going to order a MXZ-X 600 in the 1 of 2 color choices (Gray and Red). I'd still like to ride a yellow Ski-Doo.
SnowTrax Tv should come to Wabush and Labrador City in March and April months. We still have 4 to 6 weeks of good riding left in this area with world class groomed trails and scenery! You can't find a better place to test ride the 2022 skidoo's ........love watching your tv and youTube shows.
Spring ordered my Renegade XRS In black, smart shox, regular wide display, glove box extension for cell phone display/heater ( this is the best accessory, used all this year, with Ontario maps/Haliburton forest maps excellent)
Thank you guys so much for the original content you guys keep pushing for your CZcams audience! Also the stupid shock dad joke was perfect.
Sled prices are going up up up and lately winter’s are shortening. I’m with you on the 2 stroke, I had a 4 stroke and you can’t beat the lightness of a 2 stroke!
Mach z is only like 40 pounds heavier this year
@@Michigan_Highlifter 40 pounds is very noticeable off trail
@@osquad1346 for a 4 stroke tho that’s nothing. Not the typical weight difference. New z turned out to be a pig anyways
I don't know if anyone else knows this but one thing about headlights is a more yellowish light reduces glare in bad weather. In our sport we get a lot of snowy conditions and glare of the snow. It's not a bad idea to have halogen lights in the headlights even though they aren't as bright as LEDs, if you can find an H4 or H13 yellow fog lamp that would be ideal if not you'd have to out a yellow film and reduce the over all light output of the headlights.
I believe this is the real reason brp hasnt made the switch, and the dealers selling LED to customers that want it is just a side bonus
And the halogen lamp are warm, so the snow melt better on the light surface.
Dead on accurate with the track comments! I went ice ripper 8 years ago now and never looked back.
Great walk around. Can’t wait for the ride review next season!
My 2019 XRS has the clutch vent on the left outside knee panel. I’m pretty sure that was introduced in 2019. It was in response to the 2018 G4 mountain sleds burning up belts and iSki-Doo included the 2019 Renegades vents as a last minute add. Incidentally, I replaced my original belt after my second season with 5,700 miles, so the vent isn probably helping. Nice video, Luke. I like the color too!
Very good advice regarding color choice when it comes to brake and exhaust on colored panels or tunnels. It's a lot of work keeping them clean.
Great video and info Luke and STT...great job
Clutch venting has been there since 2019.
Just wanted to point out that the heated visor outlet is not standard. Ski-Doo is not offering visor outlets standard on most sleds because they want to sell the E-LinQ system which, is way better than a standard outlet imo. Also, the flip out mirrors are not standard either.
That's what i thought, my 2019 didn't come with them.
Yea just ordered the 2022, with flip out mirrors and E Linq system, extras and no visor plug included
Great stuff Luke!
That's a sick sled I wish I could afford a new snowmobile like that but iam gonna enjoy my vintage sleds I love my ss440 and elan
The old blue yamaha
@@jimknox8720 ye got out on it allot this year got so decent footage too lol its pretty fast for an old unit
I would ride 24/7 if I got a new sled... But I cannot put 20k on a sled
@@percllee I agree so that's why I buy vintage sleds there old but still a blast to ride
Can’t wait to see more of this sled this season
Love ya Luke, but some of us don't have the luxury of hard pack snow the entire season, so stubs are a must! Only our "cup of tea" by necessity!
Great walkaround video! That is a sick sled! Nice to see that they added the mounting brackets for the accessories and the heated shield outlet.
Hey Paiste boy I got ne w renny 850 did you get the same
Great video Luke... Just purchased the same sled, but without the smart shock package. I went for the adjustable pkg, had it previously on my MXZ-X and loved it. Also, love the look of the yellow/black combo, just enough yellow to know it's a Ski-Doo! Was a little disappointed it didn't come with the LED headlights, but simply enough upgrade. I also upgraded to the 1.5 ice ripper, what are your thoughts on the 1.5 vs 1.25?
I think the installation at the factory of Link brackets in 2022 is more in response to the Kimpex Connect arrival to the market than the Polaris system. The BRP customers don’t have a choice to make from now on. Smart move from BRP
Glad they went to the black ski handles, looks so much better
My 2019 XRS didn't come with the heated visor plug, about time they added it for the price we pay
Enjoyed the review luke.
I would love to see a review of the renegade competition package being offered this year.
I know it's unlikely because there's no new advancements, But it would be nice to see the beefed And added race components.
But your review of the renegade XRS is pretty much the same thing besides the smart shocks...
Just would love to see the competition package even just a walk around would be great. Ordered mine a couple weeks ago and there's very little online about it.
Thanks again...
I love it
Mach "zed" 100%! I'm just sad I'm American and can't pull it off with the same moxy. Keep up the great reviews!
Best color scheme ever!!!!
Classic yellow/black.
Good job Luke, I wondered about the shocks as well. There were days where I would only adjust the front, and times where I would adjust only the back.. I’m sure down the road they could absolutely have an app to tweak the ride in each setting.
We'll have feature about Smart Show this week! Stay tuned!!
Great overview, agree with the need for LED...staying with Halagon to get rid of old stock?
The cluster needs to catch up with Polaris 7S Sat Nav.
Seat storage built in like Polaris, a nice to have.
That XRS looks sick for sure.
Out here in BC some sled dealers say I need a 2" track and not the ice ripper...I prefer the idea of the pre studded track.
Curious to hear what you think of the smart shocks on that brute.
The mach z has the clicker on the rear shock as well to answer your question Luke.
I think smart shocks are a great idea, and I'd love to see the in-depth review. Not a current fan of Skidoo models (G4), I'm riding a Polaris now and absolutely love the new 2022 XCR...I'd love to see a comparison between the two XRS vs XCR.
We're finalizing a feature on Smart Shox that should be ready for next week. Stay tuned.
Definitely a sled I would like to ride!
Nice review Luke, informative and interesting. Look forward to ride report. I ordered one with turbo-R.
Its not an MXZ, just Renegade. Fold out mirrors and visor plug are not standard - dealer extras.
Personally I would have preferred the new red/grey/black like the mxz but Reny only in yellow or black 😕
I was billed on my Mach Z order for the visor outlet and same mirrors. Can we confirm
Are you gonna have a 2022 enduro? I just spring ordered one.
2022 renegade with smart shocks coming shipping in December. Can’t wait!!! What did you think of the shocks?
I get wanting to adjust the front and back separately, but you CAN adjust for a heavier rider with the torsion spring and preload on the track shocks to make sure it will sit right. The best thing about smart shox is that they are like the QS3, anyone can understand them and get on and ride. I do agree it wouldnt kill them to allow for an "advanced" or "individual" setting to adjust individually just like many high end cars do.
Torsion springs are manually adjustable like in previous models...you can actually see it at 10:53. Obviously, you can also adjust preload on the fronts as well.
@@Rizzzzzler yes that was my point. A heavier rider can adjust the ride height for their weight upon purchase, and the smart shox will still function as intended. Front and back adjustment is not necessary even for heavier riders
@@WeekendWarriors87 Hey sorry I miss read your comment, I thought you were asking if you could adjust not saying that you CAN...LOL...my bad.
@@Rizzzzzler no worries! lol
I was wondering why people call a Mach Z a Mach Z'ed. Don't care just curious. Love the video Luke. Can't wait to get mine.
"Zed" is how most of us Canucks say it. "Zee" sounds weird to me.
"Mach ZEEeeee" vs "Mach Zed"
"ZEEeeee R" vs "Zed R"
*shrug* whatever :)
what do you think about the 1.5" ice ripper instead of the 1.25" ice ripper. I just ordered a 2022 Renegade XRS 900 TR w/ Smart Shox
I think this years XRS graphics are the best since the G4 came out, I like this scheme alot, understated and clean on both the MXZ and Renegade
What is the best sled to get for a beginner I’m around 5’9 but have some experience on motorized stuff so I don’t need something crazy smapp
@@loganm8498 600r Renegade would be a good option, Adreniline package
@@gregc247 thank you
I spoke with my dealer about not having led lights, and his answer was the dealers dont want it from the factory, so they can sell the led light as a accessory
Looking forward to the suspension comparisons with the Lynx!
Hey Luke great vid as always, I was wondering if you guys still have trail snow where your at?
It is like late May where we are.
100% agree ! Don’t know why BRp doesn’t make the leap to LED lights??? It’s like they almost want to give other brands
A fighting chance and not completely dominant the industry ?! Lol Same with the new gauges, I would have thought they also would have something very similar to Polaris 7s package with gps??? Strange? Great review as usual! Anything else on the lynx coming?
We had to give our Lynx back but expect to have one next season and you can bet we'll be covering more of it.
What's up with 3 idler wheels on front rail on right side.and only 2 on left side?
When do we get the heated Ipod warmer?? Some things you just can't live without. Until then, its just me and my Bravo! 😁
Does the xrs models still have tunnel ajust?? I don't think they do but wasn't 100% sure
Can you guys do a review on the Renegade XRS Competition Package???
Can the throttle be reinstalled forward instead of back?
The XRS might come standard with the heated visor outlet but the tnt does not, just bought one and had to have dealer add one.
Good review. Nice sled
Thanks 👍
I just ordered a 23 renegade xrs 900r with smart shocks and 1.25 ice ripper. Normally a polaris guy. Nervous about trying something different. Hopefully I love it
Curious how you got on after now you’ve had Polaris and Skidoo experience?
Halogen lights keep ice build up off better 👍
I love sledding in general so if it makes smoke and moves I'm in. 😆 but if I'm spending the money its gotta be a upper model Polaris hands down.
When will we see a comparison on Renegade XRS smartshocks vs VR1. Does the smartshock help cornering?
I’m waiting for my Renegade XRS 850. I got early delivery. I’ll do a CZcams video when I pick it up. 🥰💪🏻🤭😊
She arrived at the dealer this morning! Hehe 🥰 needless to say Jamie is a happy camper! Lol 😊💪🏻 video coming soon. Thanks for sharing your video. Really appreciate having a preview. 🙏🏻😊
The led lights don't keep the snow and ice melted away.
I'm guessing that the reason there is not more adjustability with smart shocks is because there is a huge amount of programming that is involved to make the system work. Someday with A.I. you'll probably have infinite soft to firm adjustment.
How do this suspension compare to Fox IQS?
Great video. Mach Z, Mach Zee! Hahahahha
I’m never riding a non-studded track again. I’m still nursing a post-separated shoulder from a spill on a lake from a patch of glare ice years ago.
Why the third bogey wheel on the right side?
I have a light green sled, I’m cleaning every ride cause the exhaust makes the red skid plate black
Also I bought my sled in Quebec, I’m from Ontario, and the sled came with those flip out mirrors
Why are people leaving the heated visor plug in ?
I had led lights on my nytro and they didn’t produce enough heat to keep the headlight from frosting over or melt snow off it. That could be one reason for the lack of led lights.
You are so right on that! We ride in -25
I’m not looking forward to Bluetooth app adjustments ..sorry but in -30 back country I want a manual dial. Great review !!! I agree with soft seat we have this sled (husband) I’m upgrading from 2017 MXZ X so this was super helpful!
Anyone know what American $ Retail is on this beauty?
I was told the reason no led is because they would have to redesign light housing to b dot approved, so probably won't be till next gen
So is the smart shock the same thing as arctic cat atac suspension system that has up to 5 separate setting?? The one they came out with like 2 years ago?
No, Not the same. Cat system makes adjustments, but they dont automatically adjust on the fly as they react to trail input.
Similar to DYNAMIX on the Polaris RZR.
So essentially same shocks just with sensors all over the chassis giving the computer inputs based on the multitude of sensors that are electronically controlled and the computer gives directions to servos on the shocks ?
@@snowtrax But the same as the Smartshox on the Can am Maverick.
why does one side have two bogie wheels on the outside and the other side have 3?
That adjustable riser is a $160 ish accessory you can buy from ski doo
Wish they included the heated visor plug on the Enduro.
Comes standard on the 2022 Enduro.
@@MrJacrider Not on the 22. It's an option when you build it.
@@kevinseniuk1104 Hmmm. Here in Ontario, when we ordered 2 of them, it was just part of the base unit. However, I agree it should be standard!
how would you compare this to Lynx Rave?
Check out our video comparing the Renegade XRS to the RAVE RE.
Honestly the LED lights are terrible. If you follow any sort of rally racing they run yellow lights to help eliminate glare on the snow. The LED lights are way too white and are great for creating glare on the snow. They make it look expensive and nice but I think a good pair of halogens are better.
And taking a look at cars and such when the LED headlights go bad you have to replace the whole unit costing some massive cash.
True they are very expensive to replace but I would rather ride my axys with leds than my skidoo any night. I don't get glare I just get to see the trail
I hear ya there. Guys that don’t have LED lights want me to lead and they say they us my light to see. Lol
Put leds in my 07 apex and love them!!! Just as good as my 17 switchback!!
The yellow tint is contrast based at 2700k and standard led tint 6000k-6500k is closer to the natural sunlight making an equal opposite contrast at night time or in inclement weather especially at night. Choosing the optimum between the two can be done when choosing the led bulb. A good tint for poor visibility at night is 5000k.
Can you do a test on a polaris switchback 600?
We ran out of snow but have a SB XC we'll test next season.
LED lights don't use any power off the stator. They would have to re design the magneto if they went led
LED lights suck from keeping ice cleared off your lenses. I have them in my car and if I leave that parked outside in the winter it's a pain to always have to scrape the lenses to be able to get projected light to go where I want it. Also, LED lights are bad at clearing out moisture from the lens. If you're someone that leaves your sled outside in the winter, I don't recommend getting LED lights at all.
Now that is definitely the first time i've seen the term "Renny" in refference to a Renegade lol
Really? We've used that term for years for both the sled and the ATV.
That suspension is years behind arctic cat factory FOX
Instead of buying the $400 auxilary led buy a pair of GTR Gen 2 leds for $200 and you'll have the brightest and best coverage led on the snow. No light scatter or dark spots like cheap leds. Plus lifetime warranty.
So who do I have ro be nice to to get a ride on that lol
What's going on with the idler wheels there's 3 on one side and two on the other
I was wondering about that too. The 3rd wheel is outboard on the right skid and inboard on the left. Is that an R-Motion X thing or new this year? Looks odd and not up to Ski Doo engineering standard.
That is a new xrs add on for 22
It’s only like that on smart shox sleds. 1 idler moved outside rail to make room for extra hardware inside.
Wondering how expensive it will be to service the smart shocks? Lol
Weight?
Think it’s 495lbs
TCat EPS coming soon or no?
We tried so hard to get a Thundercat from Cat but unfortunately they just couldn't work out delivery. Hoping we will have one delivered in the fall to use for the season and we can do an overview and evaluation as soon as the snow falls.
15,000 dollars later.. Sled does look sick though.
Doesn’t the Smart-Shox system already notice that you are a heavier rider once you step on the sled? Do they have a pre-programmed weight into the system?
Aren’t dumb-shox from skidoo valved for 180lb rider? That’s what I have read at least.
I asked brp about the rear arm shock having a clicker. At the old forge ny show both the machz and xrs renegade had a remote resi with a clicker, but reps were saying some other demo sleds didn't have them on the smart shox and production sleds might not have a clicker. Brp's answer was it will have the compression clicker, but you shouldn't use the clicker, leave it where it is. Maybe the snowtrax guys can get an answer?
Led lights do not produce enough heat to melt the snow that can cover the lenses I have led on my trailer. I have to wipe off the snow.
Your neighbor is a ham radio operator Like your location.
This show has gone to the dogs....Lol. But its still great!
I also don’t understand why skidoo doesn’t offer a LED headlight. Come on doo these are premium sleds 🤷🏻♂️
Totally off topic but is arctic cat like dead??☠
no pizza oven???? i heard lynx has a new pizza oven attachment. get real.
The 6000k most LED lights come in while brighter, glare alot more off the snow and in snowing conditions. A halogen bulb while not as bright it'll cause less fatigue to your eyes and in inclement weather, visual fatigue is a big no no
I wish they’d ditch the yellow. And if they need to look at other manufacturers for color schemes/options that would be great too. Otherwise awesome sled
Miss the orange colors that ski-doo had in the past. Not surprised about link attachments , I'm guessing the dealers didn't Want to deal with them all the time with a new sled. Gee I didn't think lights was that big of a deal.
I see the snow is melting ☹️ must be climate change.
Smart shock is stupid. When it breaks the dealer gets to throw parts at it
Now there's a nice sled instead of that bs electric sled.
Stop complaining about no LED lights and just buy some for $50 off Amazon. Takes 10 minutes to install.
If they're that cheap then Doo should add them. Pretty damn simple ain't it
@@wasupfool5692 if you can’t afford $50 lights you shouldn’t be buying a $17k sled
No one wanted to see the 850. That's old news. We wanted the 180HP 900.
