Hahahaha

Who deemed Kesterke and Burandt the best in the world?

Even tho it’s not the guides job, pulling on a ski all day would be good exercise wouldn’t it?

I mean I think he's not wrong about the 146

😂😂😂

I’m surprised that you guy’s never even mentioned IceAge rails…..especially for a Doo! I’m guessing that you don’t realize how easy it is to bend Doo rails.

I also wear elbow and arm guards.

Well a 146 is ok if youre a small dude but if youre like 200+ you belong on a 165

My essential mods: - Handlebars, riser, grips, levers/controls - Storage - Clutching - Bumpers - Console kneepads - Upgraded ski rubbers

The KYB stock Freeride shocks are great but get them rebuilt. At the very least get the oil changed you’ll feel the difference just with changing the oil out.

Just had my walkers done. All redone and valved for my style. $500 at Monster performance suspension

Underrated podcasters!

No need for clutching on a doo

Skidoo already comes with the small grip dismeter bars.

I feel like the stock expert are 20mm vs RSI slim jim are 22mm thick.

From a ski doo guy, gotta get the bret rasmuseen post forward kit. Its a must have for more control and better side hilling on a doo. The polaris post is basically vertical, ski doos are laid down. When you install a post forward kit on a doo its steering is more like a polaris.

I pick up my Cataylst on Saturday, AND I even joined a gym (first time ever) to get into better shape specifically for riding (with a personal trainer).

From a ski doo guy, get the Salazzking ski rubbers over Durapro. Salazzking has a full footprint under spindle, where durapro while way better than stock, has separated "toes" that will still flex more than salazzking. same price

"Godd***** Bradley" 😂😂

Seems like the intelligent thing to do is switch, no matter what brand you ride if it don't run it's no fun. I agree you should do a motor swap and make a skilaris.

Shot is sooooo good!

Bought a 23 turbo expert, first ride on the driveway I found the track waaay too tight to prevent ratcheting. Before I even took it out and put avid drivers and I run the track real loose and never had it ratchet, toe holds, salazz kings ski rubbers, race rubber kill switch rubber, cooler guard and skidplate, seat box

Amazing we don't have better options to just mount a Pelican case to the tunnel.

Nice attempt at making a You Tube video. Just because this video completely failed doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying.

I own a 2024 Ford F350 SRW 6.7HO Platnium Tremor. Glad to hear you guys both agreed, other than the HO but I love it. The Carmelo interior is beautiful. IF GMC came out with thier AT4X package in time for the 3500 Denali Ultimate. I might have gone with that. They are hands down the best looking stock HD truck on the market IMO. For me it was the 500 hp and 1,200 pounds of torque that did it. Coming out of a Raptor and now towing a 42 foot long Brinkley Z3610 5th wheel RV. At 18k pounds I wanted something fast for my daily that also pulled well. The only option I didn’t order is the winch. At 4k I just couldn’t justify that one, especially when you can get the same thing installed for less than half that.

I would never go back to Polaris Reliability is the biggest factor for me! If I am going on a trip taking time off of work and there's no way in hell I'm gonna sit in the cabin and my my buddies are riding !! That's why I own Skidoo and a Lynx! All my buddies when I pull up to them and there hood is off and they say don't say a word. I just laugh in my helmet😂😂

BRP does not make airplanes

There’s no comparison in reliability between skidoo and Polaris, Polaris has 10x more engine failures than skidoo. The new gen 5 is a fantastic chassis.

Having a 24 Polaris and a 24 ski doo in my garage I can say the Polaris is like the hot girl in the bar and that is gonna bang the hell outta ya and the ski doo is her kind of ugly friend your buddy takes home.

What year was Aj‘S boost that was the lemon?

kyber anodized controls, ski rubbers, etc.

wherei live in British Columbia,you can't even find a 146.every used sled is either a 155/165 and the odd 175.if you want any shorter you have to order new.nobody resells their short tracks.

I just picked up my first ever sled.2024 expedition crossover.my dealer was blowing out all their 2024 models at very good prices but I didn't want anything crazy.I'm almost 58.i have a maverick x3 I used to run tracks on and an outlander as well.one thing i did learn is to get all risk insurance.my old side by side was a steaming pile of dog dirt,so I smashed a rock big enough to break the frame.they paid me out the whole declared value of 32k.all my machines have it.if I get a lemon....

What weight would you put on the having a shitty Polaris dealer vs shitty Manufacturing?

I have a 23' G5 expert turbo and it can hold a side hill great and hold a great line, but still struggle with it wanting to climb uphill on steep side hill even with the bars turned away from the hill.

Doing builds as a hobby is a complete waste of money. You decide to be the research department using your own money with nothing to sell for profit in the end. Unless you actually have a purpose such as racing your just wasting time and money. Making your machine 5 to 10% better is not going to make your trip THAT much better. Adding a few mods like studs or accessories is one thing, know where to draw the line.

Snowmobiles, especially Polaris ones, lose a TON of resale value because they make so many of them. That and I'm done with Polaris; I will NEVER own another. Too many recalls. I bought a new '24 Sportsman 850 back in March and two months later Polaris drops a stop-ride recall on it and didn't have a fix til SEPTEMBER so we lost the entire damn Summer. The quad and my one-season-old '23 Khaos are for sale. Probably will lose my butt on both of them. I'm switching back to Arctic Cat now that they have a good, lightweight sled again. As for Ski-Doo, I've ridden one and also a Lynx. They're stuck to the ground. I could NOT get them up on one ski. And their throttle was so twitchy it was hard to ride.

Good info about the 2 brands, lots of people on UA-cam/podcasts that ignore the issues their brand has and only talk about what color of wrap they are doing this year, and how loud there new exhaust is. I’m a ski doo guy for the record

I switched from Polaris to skidoo last year and also liked the Polaris chassis. To make the skidoo more enjoyable I did two essential and one preferred mods. Essential is the post forward kit and upgraded ski rubbers. The post forward mod took the cockpit from feeling jammed in my lap closer to the upright feel of Polaris. I used the salazzking rubbers but if I were to buy again I’d buy the iBackshift (iSidehill I think) version. While not essential the iBackshift clutch kit made the bottom end more responsive. My sled has been solid reliable for 1200 miles, never a hiccup and there is no way I’d go back. It’s predictable, sidehills well and I find it very responsive in the trees. The ONLY thing I don’t like is the flimsy track, I’ve had to glue or cut off a dozen paddles and have a new track ready when this one gives up the ghost. I hope the skidoo works out for ya, I love mine.

Brent, what did you do to your polaris boost to get the bottom end response better than ski doo 850 turbo r? I'm very interested!

Good honest back and forth. Loved my axys poos, seen the matryx’s be a headache jumped into a 23’ G5. As a poo guy get a rasmusen post forward kit, salza king rubbers. Or swap skis to grippers, durapro has a ski rubber for this. Will get it closer to a polaris. But it’s different for sure there will be moments when you miss your poo in the tight technical for sure but then the seamless G5 power hits and rockets you up the hill. The G5 likes to be on plane, if skis-are on ground it feels heavy. You will love the G5 no cloud of smoke when cold, starts first half pull then use shot all day, crisp clean power all day no matter what, so smooth on trail in, G5 track is great in deep snow. I dislike the G5 brake, no stopping power and dont like how heavy it feels going slow. Once on plane its weightless. I also miss working on my polaris always something to do. The skidoo just add gas and oil almost boring coming from poo haha ha

I’ve owned 3 arctic cats in the last 6 years or more and went from a 2012 Arctic cat M8 and decided to jump on the ski-doo band wagon because cat is so behind and I wanted to hop on a chassis with big changes and see what its made of. I honestly think you have to explore more brands to get a sled you really love.

What avalanche bag do you guys use and why. Co2 vs battery?

This is kinda like watching parn that focuses on dude not the chick lol half hr vid of watching a dude and hardly looking at the sled I think the camera man has a boy crush

Because I'm not a skilled snowmobiler, I would pick a 174. This way I could keep up with the other guys. Once my experience got better I would be able to reduce my track size.

That helmet in the background is wild👍

I have been on a 146 Turbo cat for 3 years. It has so much traction compared to Polaris. The 146 Turbo Freeride was pretty close. The Polaris track was so bad. I have a 154 and 165 turbo cat as well. The 146 has taught me more than any other sled. The 154 2.6” Cat is slow motion after riding the 146 in a good way. Makes you feel like a hero. A 165 is very difficult to figure out bow ties and hop overs on. The 146 comes around so easy. The 146 makes a bad snow day a fun day where a 165 wouldn’t be worth unloading unless you are just taking pictures. A 146 definitely has zero wheelie bar but it’s fun if you’re riding with slow guys or the wife a lot. It’s definitely a workout on a big snow day but I honestly like 3 day old snow over fluff. I ride Idaho not Colorado so this is all relative to snow with body that’s not exposed a lot.

agree with mostly everything in here... especially people riding sleds they aren't ready for or riding sleds that don't fit their riding style or area they ride. influencers flashing the 146 turbo as the preffered Instagram hot boi hopover edit sled has also probably contributed. 146 is great for 90% of mountain sled things... (if you are aggressive, very experienced and physically fit) they don't "suck" though...

Muskoka rocks that shit in Revelstoke all day long……..

154" is short for me. I Ride North, North Sweden. Its like a crossover for me. We have this super soft deep snow beginning of the season up here in the very north. 146" sure in packet spring conditions. Neee 146 hype will end soon.
