rMotion quick adjust system: Rear spring preload and rear shock compression damping controls have been moved to the running boards to quickly and easily fine-tune your ride for load and trail conditions. The spring preload adjustment has infinite settings and increases the range of adjustment by over 40% compared to standard rMotion.

Freeride promoted to new model: The 2011 Summit Freeride sled was a hit and its success has driven BRP to expand the concept into a full 2012 model with three packages: 154, 146 and 137. All feature the REV-XP RS chassis, KYB Pro 40 shocks many trick features that extreme riders desire. For 2012, BRP has improved the SC-5M-2 rear suspension with a more progressive motion ratio that also trenches less than its predecessor.

E-Tec 800R expanded availability: The big Rotax powerplant will be available in several more sleds for 2012 which will make Dootalk faithful very happy.

GSX SE model to gain engine options: The fully loaded, performance sled segment has really taken wings. For 2012, in addition to the 4-TEC 1200, BRP will be offering the GSX SE with both the E-TEC 600 H.O. and the E-TEC 800R.

Did someone say they wanted seat storage? Both the REV-XP Narrow and REV-XP X seats will come with 1.3 gallons (5L) of storage for 2012 giving the performance oriented rider a place for their hat.

New Spring Build choices: You will be able to further tailor your Spring Order sled. New choices include track type, graphic wrap design and the rMotion Quick Adjust system.

Skandic SWT moves to REV-XU platform: In an expected change, the ultimate work sled moves to the REV-X platform and will see a 52 pound (23.6kg) weight reduction and a more flexible riding position. This also means that 100% of the 2012 Ski-Doo line-up is built on the REV-X platform.

Monster lugs: A 2.5 Inch lug PowderMax track will be available for 2012 Mountain sleds--the tallest lug available from an OEM.

Easy Adjust on KYB PRO 40 shocks: A new single knob will control compression damping on all four shocks. No tools needed.
 
I got to say I am a little disapointed. I would say for us mountain guys the 2.5 track is the biggest news. I would have to guess unless cat drops the ball there new one will be the one to beat next year.:face-icon-small-sad
 
I am hoping they addressed the clutching. Perhaps a DJ setup. Float the secondary, a little better seat, bigger lug, and you got a very impressive sled. Not much else needs to change (xcept maybe 1000cc some day)
 
Doesnnt say anything about clutching, probably would have if they changed it. I think ill rock a pro next year. Unless cat dazzles us

I project 2012 will be the worse year for sales for BRP and sleds in a long time. BNG arent going to cut it.
 
i'll stick with my 08 big bore etec destroyer, those easterners should plan a trip to the mts over here in the west, they might learn something would be a understatement. THEY need to blow the competition away by putting a 174 on or other tracks like the 163 with a 3" lug and a factory drop and roll, possibly a belt drive and shave some wieght off that heavy primary or at least make it so that your not putting bushings in it every two rides. When they build a stocker that is in the same league as my 08 mod i will start to think about upgrading, but if this is all they can come up with were all better off building r own sleds maybe just using some of there parts.
 
I like that they came closer on the CAN/US pricing - NOT. For example the $15000 freeride 137 is only $13400 in the states.

But overall I think they made some nice refinements. I'd buy one if my 09 didn't kick ***.

2012

any word on if they floated the secondary this would have probably been the best thing to do for 12 rather than more junk to add to sled OEMs should leave aftermarket jingle to others make the sled run good first.
