I agree. Ask yourself how a 2 piece driveshaft can save money? It has more parts and more engineering so it must be over-all easier/quicker to assemble the sled.FOLLOW THE MONEY.

People wanting a coil over rear suspension, you know you can buy a LYNX [emoji16] those things are superior in deep snow and climbing compared to Doo!
I was thinking he was joking but maybe not.That is definitely false. My buddy is disappointed with his Lynx after riding a new G5 expert on the same hill.
Did you really buy into the idea that the 2 piece driveshaft was designed to change the track easily?? How much does that benefit BRP? They make less if you take the sled in for a track change that you paid for. How many tracks get changed under warranty?
I believe the real reason for the 2 piece driveshaft would be so during production the chaincases can be fully assembled and full of oil prior to slapping it on the sled. The old way the sled was likely turned on its side on the production line while a worker installed the gears and chains into the case and only after the track was installed, the oil could be added. Much faster with the 2 piece driveshaft design.
the more efficient assembly line idea is just a rumor with no substantiation.I have been trying to envision this, someone still has to assemble the chain case, whether it’s on a bench or assembled on the sled I cannot see how it’s saving time.

I wondered why lynx sleds were being introduced here. just for something different or? Always nice to have options but seems like a mixed bag of reviews.That is definitely false. My buddy is disappointed with his Lynx after riding a new G5 expert on the same hill.
But they are great for Ditch Banging.Every one wants what they can't have. Everyone wanted it because they didn't have torsion springs. Then they brought them here.They do ride better than anything. Just don't work as good as skidoo in the mountains.

At the time, this was my theory....I wondered why lynx sleds were being introduced here. just for something different or? Always nice to have options but seems like a mixed bag of reviews.
It is funny you mention overheating because it is the Doo's in our group that run hotter if there is limited powder. They MUST take their snow flaps with them or get hot. Both Axys and Matryx have been about the same for temperatures for me. 165 tracks so maybe that makes a difference? I have seen spark plug issues but never experienced it.I do a lot of riding with guys on the other brands.
Those guys have broken sleds every week, fouled plugs all the time, a new recall every week, the list is long, over heating anywhere there is not 12” of powder. Less than stellar deep snow performance.
From what I see my Skidoo has been super solid. No powder bogs, no fouled plugs, no stop ride stop sale stuff, no over heating etc.
I see a lot of complaints for what I see as trivial items.
Are there a few small stupid issues, sure there are. But I’m not going to let that ruin my sledding season.

at least one more year of warranty would be huge but longer warranties increase the price of the sled and people complain about the price more than anything else so there’s that.
I hope that is not the final solutionWhat will we actually get? Probably a dongle to add GPS to the big gauge that will cost a lot. Gotta keep those shareholders happy!
Fix the ugly headlights, better dash storage, buddy tracking, no recalls, and a 3-4 year spring order warranty for the 2025s would be fine with me.

Expect we will get PART of what we have all been waiting for in February.I think we are a few years away from having a big gauge that everyone is going to be happy with
