Interesting point of view. I’m a Polaris guy at heart but I will buy any brand that has a better sled but I’m partial to Polaris. I’m sure you have had a bad experience with skidoo at some point in time but never say never. I bought the 850 turbo and it is a game changer. I ride at 8-12k ft. There is no comparison. I have an axys 800, I have a 2019 skidoo 850, and was waiting on a new patriot 850 from my dealer buddy. The new turbo came out and the patriot hadn’t come in so I bought the turbo, no regrets! No overheating, no misfiring, no tinkering, no waiting for my belt to cool so I can make another pull, no special fuel, no clutching, just pull and go with a full warranty. I look forward to Polaris coming out with a turbo but until then I will be all smiles😬
therealutahviper congrats man! I’m sure you’ll love it! I saw one in the backcountry today actually and the guy was loving it. But also I didn’t have a bad experience, I think skidoo’s are great sleds. Ive had the chance to ride several skidoo’s through the years and it’s more about the ergonomics, steering, rider stance etc that I couldn’t get comfortable with. That’s just me though, i have several friends that have switched from Polaris to skidoo. However after riding my 850 today after the most recent tune update, I can tell you Polaris is going to have to make a big boo boo for me to switch to skidoo, no matter how good the sleds get from skidoo (turbo, motor, suspension, etc) the saying is true, “never say never” but it’s going to take a miracle for me to switch haha. Enjoy that turbo though!! I honestly hope this means we see some big things coming to the industry as a whole 💪🏼
@@ColinMcEvoy I completely understand. I am pretty much in the same boat Do me a favor, ride either the turbo or the expert, then , let me know what you think of the chassis. I definitely prefer my Polaris chassis over the 2019 skidoo but the new one is pretty good. #polarishasnoanswer yet:)
I have a hard time believing when people say after market kits run perfect..... I ride in Oregon at 6k to 9k and with a large group of 15 to 20 friends all with turbos on Polaris and skidoo’s both Silber and Boondocker and none of them have ever run perfect day in and day out. There is always random sputtering or pre detonation at high rpm, blowing plugs, over rev, and any number of little problems. This is a factory produced and tuned Sled built for this Sled not just to fit a sled, this will make the performance way better than after market. I bought one and rode side by side with my Silber @7psi and I will tell you don’t dog it till you ride it! It’s very impressive even next to an high boost Silber kit!
My thoughts as well, i have been around alot of turbo sleds as well, and had a turbo axys at one point and it never really ran all that well. I stick to mostly stock sleds these days. save my money for suspension or trips
agreed! glad you are loving your ski-doo! The thing that people don't understand is that its perfectly ok to love one brand while your buddy loves another, its ALL personal preference and how comfortable you are on the platform and what works for you! winter is coming!
@@ColinMcEvoy For me about 13 weeks away sir!! I grew up in Warroad MN. 21 miles from Polaris. They tested all their sleds on the lake .5 of a mile from my house!! I know about 80 people who work for polaris and think they have a great brand and by no means bashing a Polaris. I'm just not as comfortable on them as a skidoo. And I have to admit I have only been on a 2017 800 as the newest polaris and I have a 2016,2017,2018 skidoo summit 800 and a 2020 summit 850 that I ride at sea-level only so I have not ridden any of these sleds in the mountains where they shine! Keep up the great videos!
Great vid , as a older teenager watching this with a slightly outdated 2010 iq shift , this would be a dream sled for me in next ten years or so ... going from a .91 inch to a 3 inch paddle with and extra hundred hp would be insane .....
Thank you andrew! and save up those dollars! if you get yourself a job and work alot over the summer, its possible! these days its wayyy easier to make money then it was when i was a teenager haha
I think its awesome when factories progress. It gives us options and pushes the other manufactures. It’s funny hearing all the hate on it. It’s a mountain sled made for higher elevation and I think 40 horsepower is a pretty significant gain over stock sleds that lose power with elevation. I would say it’s a game changer that pushes Polaris and Cat to step up the game. It’s a win win for us I think. I love the way sleds are going because they are incredibly capable and they keep getting better. I say good job Doo!
2021 850 Etech Turbo! Turn key operation, No mess, no fuss. Add pump gas, oil & go! So there I was in West Yellowstone MT. Feb 18th riding with this group of guys.. One of them had a Ski-Doo Summit 850 turbo. Can I take it for a ride I asked? Sure he said. We were at about 7,700 feet and about 23 F out. A bit earlier I had taken my Ski-Doo Summit '18 non turbo 850 (about 125 hp at 7,700 feet) up and down some hills and along a route I had picked out for comparison riding. The 850 turbo (165 hp at 7,700 feet) easy had 15-20+ mph MORE track speed than my ’18 850 on the same hills, route & elevation. The engine response was electric in nature!! With a flip of the throttle, power on and now! At that elevation you could hear the turbo most of the time. No lag. Power now and alot! It was so fun to ride! What a fun sled!! This sled overall cost less than adding a turbo to what you have. When you add in the time / cost of adding a turbo kit, and the tinkering to get it to run right. AND this turbo is made for this engine from the getgo! And it runs on 91 pump gas. AND you get a 2 year warranty. Would you get that with a kit?
I seen that video too and they said their shop where they dyno’d the sled was already around 1000’ so that’s why the little spike in factory power. Still, Mo Powah!!
I do think this is a game changing release. No I'm not buying or snow checking a new 850 Turbo as I purchased a 2020.5.... Since 2009 I have had a turbo Skidoo this one however is the smoothest Turbo 850 I have ever owned. I found the Rotex loves Boost but not over 5 lbs. and 3 lbs. is the best at 3 they are pull and go to tweaking at all I do not know why spend hours at 5 lbs. tweaking and couldn't get it perfect, at 3lbs. easy. Handling comment I would like to say, that I have always found the Polaris to be more work to ride than the Skidoo platform that being said I ride with Die Hard Polaris guys, we love riding and we are always competitive when it comes to OUR brand that we support. So we also Expect our Brand to support us by also being Competitive this is only going to take our machines to the next level or else. I have already heard this from My Die hard Polaris buddies step up or else.... I think Skidoo has a great platform and their downfall is their cheap shocks big downfall in this area. Polaris will have to make the power or be freight trained, I truly hope they step it up and apply some pressure on my manufacturer, in the long run the consumer is the winner. But I do like being on top with this new sled, I keep telling them all, it's just a stock sled i'm riding nothing special total stocker..
I think if a company could make a 800cc mountain sled for $10,000 would be huge. Sleds get spendyer and spender. Its gonna turner into a new truck or new sled here pretty soon
yea i think someone needs to make a mid level sled, similar to what the 700 was several years ago. an 800 with a few less features of the high end 850 (basic shocks, less carbon fiber, slightly heavier from different materials, overall basic) would be a great addition and seller... but it may take sales away from the 850 and top tier models... it really just depends on the market and the economy in general with new sled sales
You can get 800cc sleds for $10,000 right now, you just are getting new left over model years. If someone doesn't need to be on the newest sled every year there are great deals.
Not considering buying skidoo because you didn't like your friends is fairly ignorant. Every rider likes a different set up and needs to set up the sled to suit their style, height, weight. Out of the box Doo's are set up well for the average parking lot poser but they come alive with some fine tuning.
wfodickinson so I’m ignorant because I didn’t like like the 4 different friends sleds across multiple generations from 1996 to 2013 including a demo from skidoo themselves... not sure why you’re so mad about someone hyping up your favorite brand from a unbiased stance even though they have no intention of ever purchasing from said brand.. not everyone likes the same things bud. Learn to live with it.
Having purchased one I can say it's great! No cliches it's great. As for you phrasing "you would never buy it or any ski doo. Well that is exactly why the word opinion is in the American English vocabulary. And I hope you meant to state it that way. I rode an Axys and a Khaos and purchased a turbo ski-doo. So giving you my OPINION would be redundant.
what did you think i meant? "i dont ever have plans to buy a skidoo" is fairly clear... the internet is here to share opinions.. i dont like the way skidoos feel or handle.. thats not knocking them in any way at all.
Having seen and ridden with the 850 Turbo, and also having watched it get towed down the mountain a few days in because of gremlins, yes they are game changers, only because they are building what people have asked for, low boost, factory warranty turbo sleds. Its up to the competition to determine if its a viable business offering or not. Now would I buy the Doo? No because the chassis itself isn't what I prefer. That's the great thing about having multiple manufacturers, we get to choose what we ride. If Polaris does come out with a factory turbo next month, and since I was already planning on snowchecking it would be hard for me to spend near $17-18k CDN when there could be a turbo option for $2k more.
I think you nail it and i go farther i am from Canada and an a long time Polaris client the Turbo Rmk was coming for 2021 and Ski-doo didn’t want to be second :) let’s hope this is true .
After riding one of these I think anyone’s stupid to buy anything but skidoo. RMK’s honestly are kinda just a remake of the XP, Polaris hasn’t updates there platform in forever
Devin Krissler the Axys chassis has been out since 16, and the gen4 chassis is only one year newer so that doesn’t really mean anything. The Axys chassis works and they added a more powerful motor option last year. And saying the Axys chassis is just a remake of the xp is just untrue. They are nothing alike.
powerteker did you even bother watching the video? Because I can also tell you haven’t. You’re just trying to be intentionally negative for no reason. This video was made to hype up the 850 turbo and generate talk about it.. which it’s done. But I literally stated in the video that I’m interested in riding or demoing an 850 turbo and also was very straight forward that I’m a Polaris guy... soooo I’m not sure who you’re trying to make fun of because everything your comment says is that you just didn’t take the time to watch the video.. but thanks for the engagement 👍🏼
nt3523 this is why I wanted to hear from the community 🤘🏼 Buy a 15k NA sled and slap a 3k turbo kit on it, make more power but not have the piece of mind of a factory backing warranty... or buy a showroom turbo sled with warranty but less power.. Honestly it comes down to preference at that point. But if you can’t handle a stock 160hp and ride it properly, 190hp isn’t going to help. (Not attacking you on that last point, Just making a generalization)
@@ColinMcEvoy I get your point. I'm in Mt. and everyone thinks they're Burandt. We've already killed two or three guys this season. Anyway, I've got about a 1000 miles on a Silber Axys and can't complain one bit. One buddy on a Silber Doo 850, same thing, not a hiccup. Personally, I will never go back to an NA sled.
@@nt3523 i had a silber 800 a few years ago and it ran ok, i think it may have been setup wrong from the guy that installed it though because it never really ran right. have alot of friends running the kit with no issues as well
After riding this sled personally, and seeing it perform at 10,000+ feet it unquestionably stomps any aftermarket turbo kits with 7+ psi. Skidoo has no reason to boost it to 200+ horsepower if it already outperforms aftermarket turbos running more pressure and special fuel and with no warranty. This guy is just hurt he can’t afford one and his Polaris is devaluing itself just sitting in the background
I’ve been a skidoo fan for awhile. That’s all I’ve had. Been thinking about switching to a pro. This doesn’t really impress me at all that much. It’s super un attractive and I don’t really think it’s a “game changer” they’re already turbo sleds out there. Ya it’s factory. Ya with a warranty but what do most of us diesel guys do. Void warranties. I hope Polaris comes back with a 900 turbo or something so I can switch.
Brett Gingery despite what you believe so far the numbers don’t lie. The 850 patriot even with the oil line issue that caused most of the failures in 2019 had less engine failures than the doo 850 in 2019. You see all these posts about them blowing up and most of its fake rumors on forms and facebook. Thats why the guy posting it says it blew up and his profile pic is of him riding a ski doo and same with all his buddies. Right now polaris is the best power plant and now this came along to be on top. Unfortunately it looks so horrible that doo loses in the all around best sleds but thats no secret I mean the reviews are in so will see what the future brings.
Brett Gingery tell me what 2 stroke is better? Who has more hp, better power curve, more torque? Who had the best numbers? Your right it does make me laugh when I ran down artic cat and ski doo last week. I also laugh when you guys read fake stories and posts and buy into the propaganda because it makes you feel good but your still not on top so think twice before you get all brand bias and just be honest. If you motor was better I would admit it but still laugh at the horrible body wrapped around it and bad taste you must have to think it looks good.
@@softwashscience according to dump testing the doo 850 beats the Polaris in all of those categories there buddy. “Chasing down doo’s” bro, the skidoo makes more power and is clutched from factory to achieve a higher top speed, it’s been proven in multiple tests where the doo won. You literally cannot deny that Polarass has had the highest failure percentage in the industry, followed by cat and then with the lowest doo, do your research fuckwit. Finally, looks are totally subjective, I think the Polaris axys and matrix both look like piles of shit although the matrix looks a lot better than the axys because it closely resembles a g3 doo. Grow a pair and act mature.
How are you doing a video on a skidoo while marketing a Polaris in the background, and riding one regularly. It’s an ‘unbiased’ intent but a sellout view.
Polaris look cheap compared to a doo it’s like Ferrari and Lamborghini big deal if the shocks are a little cheaper the fukin brakes are Brembo that’s like sports car shit. Side by side the doo’s look better Polaris just look cheap sorry 🤷🏼♂️
Colin McEvoy I’m not brand bashing I’m just saying. The summit look better then the kahos. Polaris just kinda looks a little cheaper there good sleds just a bit on the second tier. I’m not brand loyal I just like wat looks the best. I kinda like the mtx yammy but they heavy

You see all these posts about them blowing up and most of its fake rumors on forms and facebook. Thats why the guy posting it says it blew up and his profile pic is of him riding a ski doo and same with all his buddies. Right now polaris is the best power plant and now this came along to be on top. Unfortunately it looks so horrible that doo loses in the all around best sleds but thats no secret I mean the reviews are in so will see what the future brings.
sixONEslix Your statement of Polaris having the best power plant is laughable 🤭.
Brett Gingery tell me what 2 stroke is better? Who has more hp, better power curve, more torque? Who had the best numbers? Your right it does make me laugh when I ran down artic cat and ski doo last week. I also laugh when you guys read fake stories and posts and buy into the propaganda because it makes you feel good but your still not on top so think twice before you get all brand bias and just be honest. If you motor was better I would admit it but still laugh at the horrible body wrapped around it and bad taste you must have to think it looks good.
@@softwashscience according to dump testing the doo 850 beats the Polaris in all of those categories there buddy. “Chasing down doo’s” bro, the skidoo makes more power and is clutched from factory to achieve a higher top speed, it’s been proven in multiple tests where the doo won. You literally cannot deny that Polarass has had the highest failure percentage in the industry, followed by cat and then with the lowest doo, do your research fuckwit. Finally, looks are totally subjective, I think the Polaris axys and matrix both look like piles of shit although the matrix looks a lot better than the axys because it closely resembles a g3 doo. Grow a pair and act mature.
all that money and no windshield :/
I know right! the new 2021 models have windshields though 🤔
How are you doing a video on a skidoo while marketing a Polaris in the background, and riding one regularly. It’s an ‘unbiased’ intent but a sellout view.
Polaris look cheap compared to a doo it’s like Ferrari and Lamborghini big deal if the shocks are a little cheaper the fukin brakes are Brembo that’s like sports car shit.
Side by side the doo’s look better Polaris just look cheap sorry 🤷🏼♂️
This wasnt exactly a comparison of brand vs brand.. but there will always be that guy that has to brand bash.
Colin McEvoy I’m not brand bashing I’m just saying. The summit look better then the kahos. Polaris just kinda looks a little cheaper there good sleds just a bit on the second tier. I’m not brand loyal I just like wat looks the best.
I kinda like the mtx yammy but they heavy
