Are these stock or an accessory? Any word on the calibration?
Very nice to see that they are taking the belt issue seriously. My only concern would be if the plastics deform much when laying the machine on its side and if things got chewed up much from the clutches. I know, I know, rubber side down but that doesn't always happen.
I expect that BRP will have these sleds dialed this season.
What are the clutch calibration ( primary and secondary) for 2019?
That's a good question! I won't pretend to have the answer, but I know it wasn't much of a problem for the REV and RT having the same concept for the air intake. The thing with the air intake is that it was critical for the engine which made it a poor design. But for air intake of the clutches that doesn't need extraordinary filtration, I think it is brilliant!
I don't believe and I certainly hope they didn't have this patented, because I firmly believe/hope to eventually see this standard on all sleds. In my opinion there is no good reason to have any hot belts on any sled of any manufacture. The idea that we need to remove all foam or cut panels to getting belt cooling just doesn't make sense to me, at least no in 2018.
Its ok if they patent This special ventilation as it is not required on all sleds.
Finally, cat has figured out how to properly clutch a sled.
I hear good belt life from 16-17s and i know 18s will easily get 1,000miles of hard mountain riding.
We'll see. The new panel and secondary cover is a nice piece for some enterprising tinker'er to mount an electric fan to pull air up and out of the panel, too. BRP comes up with their share of new ideas, some of them actually work, maybe this will be another.
On a different track, I don't think it's a coincidence that AC figured out they needed clutching help after working side-by-side with Y, and learning more about how not to blow belts on high hp, high torque motors.
With the design of the cover and clutch sheave fins the air is flowed out the foot well and drawn in the vent. So maybe force more air in through the vent and keep the foot well clear of snow, if that is possible
If the 'vent ' doesn't create enough heat or enough air movement, u will end up with a giant ice formation there......
