2010 sleds

[slyrydr]

the new m sleds will have the hcr seat, the 1000 will only be available as a sno-pro.....no turbo mountain sled....oh yeah, bng....the m-8 will have 157 hp, according to a tech rep at the show....the turbo will have a 144 track, good crossover, but not a mountain sled....and it's still too heavy anyway....the new seat looks gay, no offense to the broke-back-mountain boys...

By HCR seat I guess you mean Boss seat, because the SP and LE came with that seat if snow checked.

the website has the new 500 sno pro on it already. The main snow page isnt up yet but just roll over it and you will see it.

BNG-big nitrous gauge. The new Cat's come with nitrous.

I hear they are giving out free turbos and race fuel for a year if you snow check!

I was reading on the web site the new 800 ho has 160 hp with a new lightweight crankshaft....OH NO!...did they just make the new cat polaris like?...I don't like the sound of 800 twins with weak cranks....

if all they did was knife edge the lobes and etc it shouldn't weaken the crank at all, just reduce some of the rotating mass... this was a common mod on racebikes over the years...

I am sure the crank will be fine. You can remove alot of mass and not hurt the integrity of the crankshaft itself.

 

[Skinner]

Damn I might have to see if I can get a test ride.

Any dealers in the north Utah area that will let me ride a demo this spring?

That M8 sno Pro look fun!

Speedwerx has been lightening cranks for a while now...it's popular on sno-x sleds because they rev faster...it may not help in the mountains though...that whole 'heavy primary weights help you carry RPM up hill' argument comes to mind.
