2009 Sleds from Ski Doo

[RMK935VA]

Ski Doo web site showing a couple of new sleds/motors. First, a 1200 cc four stroke triple that is light (509 lbs. in a trail variant). I would guess that this motor will show up in a mountain variant too. I can imagine that the turbo/supercharger guys are already licking their chops over this one.

Second, a 600 E-Tec motor is shown in a trail sled that is slightly over 400 lbs. Good fuel and oil mileage, light weight and good power!

No mention of the 800 class or a new 1000 two stroke but maybe that is coming later.

Any idea on the hp the 1200 is making? I dont see anything about the mountain sleds for 09. any links to them?

The new 1200 is rated at 130hp, same as the Nytro, but the Doo has more torque.

Should have more hp and torque if it's a 10% bigger motor. Wonder how much hp and torque the Nytro would have if Yami punched it out to a 1200

Remember, according to 4 stroke guys cc size has nothing to do with it. Its all in the power ratings, no matter what cc's it takes to make that power. Maybe they would rather start comparing cc to cc. Nevermind, Yammi guys only like to compare things so it puts them at an advantage.

So, the real question will be.... How reliable will this new motor be with a turbo?

 

[Insaneboltrounder/sjohns]

No.... the real question is where are the xrs 800s and 1000s with DI?

I gess Ski-Doo will take a big pice of the the Yamaha marked now....

Well IF Doo can take a PIECE of Yammi's market, that would be almost typical as it seems to me that dealing in PIECES is what BRP has been about the last while.
If you buy one of their products, you then need to buy , a clutch , vents, lots of belts, lots of rings, pistons, crankshafts, jackshafts, flying nuns, new track, and a bunch more PIECES,.......... and if you do that, you'll have the best STOCK sled built.
I'm not sure if thats a sales philosophy that benefits us, the consumer.

I'm sure this has been covered at some point but I am curious.I have a supercharged 4 stroke Seadoo with 215hp, How would a supercharger work compared to a turbo on a 4 stoke sled?

Its hard to take Yamaha's market share of the 4stroke marketshare when the sled has been just introduced!
