1190 four stroke triple

[Sheetmetalfab]

There's a turbo four stroke that weighs the same as the axys 800 but produces 400hp. You think that wouldn't sell?

And what does that motor cost?
Lifespan? At high load climbing?

Got any links?

But the chassis without the motor is by far the lightest. If they dropped the current yami motor in their chassis it would be the lightest 4 stroke on the market, so why not developed something similar? They could be the lightest mountian sled in every class still, and get back the chunk of the market that has gone to yami since they teamed up with cat and put a halfway decent chassis around their motor.

So they can gain the 2-3% of the mountain sledding market that buys yami?

Serious question here.....

Thats like 5000 sleds total in the country.

everybody is a buradnt these days.

I love it.

Wait.. the XLT (Extra Light Triple) was a trail machine that ate cranks for breakfast. The Ultra RMK 680 was the "mountain sled" triple. Neither one ever performed great.. The Ultra was a brick in deep snow, but i did love the sound. However the best sounding sled of all time is the 93' RXL 650, hands down winner!

I want a triple to sound good in the parking lot.

Its got to be fake. They never did make a mountain triple so why are they asking people if they missed it?

Actually they did make a mountain triple...it was called the Storm Got to ride the proto-type and 1 year sled at Baker in 92:very heavy on the front sounded great tho

The xlt came with a single pipe and did not eat cranks rode with quite a few back in the day...that was the Ultra that just about bankrupted Polaris

95-96 XCR/XLTs were hard on cranks,especially when piped. The ultra had a bullet proof motor.

Never gonna happen

With Polaris hitting a home run in the axys chassis I can't imagine them steering a whole different direction. What I can see is them engineering a monster two stroke triple that is not only light weight and cutting edge, but designed solely for the axys or mountain crowd. If that's the case count me in. Axys chassis is hands down my favorite ever. Imagine a warranty on a monster sled! Sure would be nice

He's probably talking about the nissan one https://www.wired.com/2014/01/nissan-3-cylinder-le-mans/

So 88# without the turbo.

Probably only a $200k motor.
That should sell well.

I'm going to say it's a $20 motor since we're both making numbers up.

Why would that motor cost more to manufacture than any of the current four stroke offerings?

ultra might have bankrupted a few owners but polaris made good profit on it.
i still have one, just rode it yesterday. and i will run it against any twin up till around 03-04. but theyre not for everyone, skill is required

Because nissan has built like maybe 5 of them?

How much does engine research and development cost anyways?

Hand built prototype at this point.

Its a Nissan factory sponsored race car FFS!



Its like saying a nascar engine is cheap?

At least the nascar engines have the benefit of a few hundred annually being built.

Nissan will be using that engine in production vehicles in the next couple years. NASCAR comparisons are pointless as those aren't used in production vehicles.

Nope. Too lazy to research it again and I don't care if you believe me.
