Got my 2023 Summit X Expert with the 10.25 screen home today. Here are some observations for those getting one:
Fit and finish is excellent. When I picked up my sled today, my buddy also picked up his new Poo Matryx Slash. The Poo has some nice features, but fit and finish still lags behind Doo.
Storage: Stock storage sucks. First, you can no longer put goggles in the side panel like on the G4s. So, no easy place to dry out goggles anymore.
As for the glove box, it's not user friendly. It's weirdly shaped. Most importantly though, if you have the 10.25 screen, you cannot put much in there, including goggles, unless you remove the heated phone bag. I removed the heated phone bag and now can get a pair of goggles in the glove box, and not much else.
Coolant level: Mine was low, so check yours.
Linq brackets on tunnel: Mine were a bit loose, check yours.
Post forward kit: Bolted on - no issues.
Kill switch: Doo redesigned it. The red button on top is thinner, but the whole switch is a bit taller, so now my TKI kill switch protector doesn't work.
10.25 Screen: Mixed bag here. It is smaller than you'd think because there is a lot unused space at the bottom. Fairly responsive and usually worked at the first touch. Nice to have a clock on the screen. Pretty legible and bright. Really seems like a Beta version of a gauge, meaning it doesn't offer much. I like it, but not really worth the premium for it.
Doo 10.25 screen protector: It's plastic, not tempered glass. So-so quality but better than nothing.
LED headlights: They are bright. Still like the Lynx 3-headlight setup better though as far as looks.
Track: Looks a lot different from the G4 track. Doesn't appear that the lugs will fold over as much, we'll see. Lugs go all the way to the sides of the track now too.
Access: My buddy took all his panels off his Poo like nothing. As for the Doo, side panels come off okay, but the hood is still a pain.
10.25 screen battery: It's pretty small. Mine was dead and it needed several hours on my charger at home to bring it up to 100%.
Battery cover/spare belt holder: The belt goes in fine, but it takes a little finesse to get the battery cover back on with the belt inside.
New brake lever: The adjustability is nice - so far works for me.
Narrowness: Whole sled does seem a lot narrower. I really notices it when standing on the running boards with my size 13 Klim boots, they now hang over a bit.
Skis: I run mine centered, so mine are in the 35 inch wide setting. Still seems plenty narrow. Next to my buddy's Poo today, the new DS4 skis seem more like the Polaris Grippers now.
