- Jesse, Mike and the boys head out from Amos on a 460 km ride to Chibougamau. The trails were freshly groomed, not a single mogul all day! After sunset everything started to change.. one sled doesn't have any brakes, and we all get stuck in the same spot!!

Hey guys enjoy your videos . We have been saddle bagging for years up in Quebec ( Lacking good snow fall here in VT / USA ) with our 4 stroke Ski-Doo Renegade Enduro's Non-Turbo's ,( cheaper price point and non premium gas saves $ ) and I couldn't agree with you more 4 stroke is the way to go up there . This year my friend & I will plan a trip to do a 1200 /1300 mile loop thru Chibougamau starting out of Saint .Michael -Des Saints, Never been on that part of trail 93 and west side of trail 83.We have done most of the central and East sides of Quebec, Hopefully we will catch up will you Sledaddicz's
somewhere on the trails this season .Be safe out there and pray for lots of snow ,Later Skip
Wow... Looks like a fantastic trip! I put on just under 3,000 km's on my 22 Renegade 850 Xrs this year just in District 2. Can't imagine how much I would have if I book ended for next year a trip in late December to Cochrane and late March to QC or NB? Thanks for taking me on all your rides this year, it's been great to see all these places I've never sledded before. You guy's have the best video's on UA-cam and nice to see them coming from fellow Ontarians.
It was probably the best trip I've been on, although Jesse is riding in New Brunswick right now which looks unreal. That's a great season for sure in district 2 and hands down we love these renegade 850 XRS sleds! Those will both be excellent trips and we appreciate you riding along with us Don! Thanks for the kind words and support. It's been a lot of learning and work to keep up the content this year! Cheers, Mike
Yup that is 4 stroke country. Great trip, it's on my bucket list.
It really is. There is no better sled for this kind of riding than a 4 stroke turbo for sure if you are saddle bagging it. Most of the sleds in these parts of Quebec were 4 strokes. Cheers, Mike
My girlfiend and I went to Amos and we were like the red headed step children riding our Polaris 2 strokes.
@@BCJ371 haha yep.. a lot of doos that way forsure
That 150 km railway bed awesome makes tracks in a hurry.
Yeah it's a very quick 150kms for sure! Mike
Man I can't believe you guys have that much snow, beautiful 👍👍
haha yep! One final ride this week - im heading north and that will be a wrap! Stay tuned for more riding videos over the next couple weeks (part 3 and 4 from Quebec, my New Brunswick trip, and possibly one or two more day rides :))
Cheers, Jesse
Nice, my favorite area to ride. I said it last year the trail from Sennetere to lebel has it all my favorite trail of all time. Wish I was with you guys. Should be a great sled Mike, I ordered the same one. Power on guys
I agree that this section is 100% one of my favorite trails too. I went to see it in person last weekend and it's really sweet. Gonna be a long wait! Cheers, Mike
Been there its was 24 below zero but the people were amazing hope to get back there soon
Yes, we really loved it here. Great clubhouse and riding in this area. Cheers, Mike
Best description I have watched, ready to move! What an amazing ride, and trail look awesome! Thank you for taking us along!
Thanks so much John! Glad you enjoyed it. This is what we do - try to bring informative, funny and enjoyable ride videos throughout the season! Comments like yours are why we continue to do it. Those trails were some of the best we have ever ridden. I really appreciate the support and thanks for watching. Cheers, Jesse
That is a bucket list trip for me. Not that area, but going to CAN for a week of riding in Quebec or New Brunswick.
Definitely some fantastic trails and riding opportunities up this way. Let us know if you ever need any help planning a trip! Cheers, Jesse
The more you ride Quebec the more the 4 strokes make sense. Ever try a dialed in Sidewinder? Our winder crew hooking up with you guys would be fun. I think you guys should be called Dooaddictz. 🤪
Definitely. I haven't tried one but Jesse tried one that was 300hp and said it was absolutely nuts! Haha we definitely Doo love our Doos but we aren't brand biased at all and we did give Danny's VR1 a good amount of seat time this season. There still isn't anything that compares to Doo in our opinion but I could see a winder being nice for Quebec for sure. Cheers and thanks for watching the Dooaddicz lol 😆 Mike
And that my friend is why i do 90% of my rideing there
Absolutely Mark! We are doing more and more over there too. Mike
Looks like an amazing trip!
What are the "capters" you referred to on your handle bars?
Look up Knarlabs CaptR. It's a device that controls our GoPro's from the handlebars. Cheers, Mike
460kms aw man you would have to tow me in the last 100kms
haha hey Garth! It felt like an easy 320 kms to be honest. A 120 km rail line with no stop signs or turns makes the day go by pretty quick. Also most of the trails are pretty quick running up that way. Cheers, Jesse
When you were in Chibougamau did you ever look into going north to Mistisissin were the trail ends? Just wondering if it would be worth doing?
Hey Joe! Great question. I have heard it is actually an excellent trail. We wanted to do it this season but it was closed off when we were there due to COVID and not wanting to bring it to a remote community like Mistissini. Cheers, Jesse
How recent did you ride these trails in Quebec? There is no snow left in my area and debating on heading to Quebec for a weekend.
This was Feb 19. Cheers, Mike
Mike, are you still running the snow trackers? Do you have them dialed in yet?
Yep. Great solution for these heavier 4 strokes. Cheers, Mike
@@sledaddicz did you end up adding more ski pressure then what they recommend on the initial setup?
Did they cover the snow flap under warranty. Couple of us had the same problem with are MachZ.
Hey Lucy! Mike's snowflap on his Mach Z was warranted by the dealer. Cheers, Jesse
Besides your little speed runs what is the average MPH?? Those trails are beautiful....
Average is 70 kmh. The speed limit 😊
Would like to see a review on the LinQ 40L dry bag. Have not seen one on UA-cam. Is it made from a rubber material? Is it flexible when it gets really cold? Also considering trail pro bag, what is your opinion on that one? That bag received a lot of bad reviews that makes me leery of that one ie bad buckles and straps and dealers claiming a lot of returns and people unhappy with it. Otherwise it looked like it would be a great size and functioning bag. What would your recommendation be between the two.
Great suggestion David. I will put a video together on it. It's not made of rubber but the part where you seal it up is. These are 2 different bags and I wouldn't actually recommend one over the other. The 40l bag is really just for touring and packing clothes. The trail pro bag is a more functional every day riding type of a bag. I have now had the pro bag for 2 seasons and 15k kms...not a single issue with it. Depends what you are looking for. Mike
Thanks for getting back to me, I am a saddle bag rider taking 3-4 day trips. Your channel is one of my favorite’s for that reason. There are a lot of day rider channel but few that feature touring or living off what’s on your sled for several days. Sounds like the trail pro bag may be better for me. Another interesting LinQ accessory is the 10 liter modular stackable box. No videos on that ether, I was thinking that could go under a LinQ bag for tools and things that you wouldn’t want banging around in the semi ridged bags. Thanks again for talking time to produce videos that are relevant to long distant riders.
Where did mike get his oxygen helmet wrapped? Looks sick
Adjust the chain tensioner on that Mach z after you do your belt deflection. Should help improve the RPM
Everything was adjusted before I left for that trip. It's still not running tip top. Have a friend helping with me it, as it seems to be some of these new 900r's - at least with the Machs. Hoping I get it sorted for next season. Mike
Check out o2wraps.ca and get in touch with Gary from Mudbrats! He made them for us a couple years ago and yes they are AWESOME! We have a video on them too. Cheers, Mike
Nice trails do you need to make reservations to a the hotels ahead of time or you can just show up
To all the hotels
Yes we always make reservations. Cheers, Mike
Great job on the video guys. Great way to see the country. Curious - did you buy your return permits ahead of time? Online?
Hey Jake! Thanks buddy. Glad you liked it! What do you mean by return permits? Mike and I had full season FCMQ permits and some of the guys but multi day permits ahead of time online. Cheers, Jesse
How miles will ur sled go on a tank of fuel? I can go 160 miles on one tank
Which sled? The 850 or the Mach?
@@sledaddicz both
@@bigmurph1447 The reality is that its all how hard you are on the gas. As soon as you are moving on the wide open trails of Northern Ontario or Quebec, you are going to start using more fuel. We have seen as low as 170 kms to a tank on an 850 before it runs out of gas. The 900t does seem to be better on fuel - the 600r is hands down the best. Mike
@@sledaddicz yeah I know what you I was just curious. I have a 2022 600r backcountry
i wont lie i do not like 4-stroke snowmobile to me it don't sound like a snowmobile
Hey David! Have you heard a Mach or the new 900r? They sound pretty amazing with all of the popping and hissing of the turbos. Cheers, Mike
