I love how these flatlanders get on here and criticize mountain sleds . . why don't you guys stick to your short tracks and trails.
Not Impressed with the XP! Whats the deal???

love tapped hard snow at 10mph....hahahahahahahaha. I have grudge ****ed some trees with my XP and been ok. You have some horrible luck!! Maybe it is time for you to ride a jeep in the backcountry, that way you can drive over all of the rocks and stumps you want to??
Big cat jumped and he pissed on the wall...
Little cat jumped and he couldn't piss at all...
He tried and he tried until his tail turned blue...
Poor little Reen I feel so sorry for you...

If you are riding in Island Park odds are that RMS or Botts set the sled up. I have mine set up by Precision preformance. and I love my xp my old rev really can't come close. I have been around many people who got new XP's and they struggled with them. After giving them some pointers on balance and where to stand, they are completely different riders. All of us are better on the XP's. I have nothing against Botts, I plan to buy sleds from them in the future but I will have all of them set up at Precision, huge difference.

Both my XRS and the other guy with the XP are from Minnesota and both were set up with help from Big John

Some of you XP riders sure get devensive. I apologize that the XP in our group was such a dog that it caused me to have to post the results on the forum to see if this was a normal thing or if the XP was just that, a dog.
What I am getting is what I expected, there is no way an 07 XRS should have beaten an 08 XP, much less an 07 M8, an 08 M8, and an 09 M8.
Thank you for all your information.

I'd like to see this 429 lb xp.
I love how the xp just keeps getting lighter as the season goes on.

Original quote by High Time
"The XP does not live up to the hipe. I'm not saying yours doesn't kick azz, but in general they sure are a disapointment. No one expects a guy to admitt that the new sled he just bought won't go, so it's not a big suprize that there are defenders. As time goes by the XP will not be marked in history as a success."
High Time nailed it!!!

It's all smoke and mirrors, every manufacturer manipulates the numbers. 429 lbs dry? Who rides a dry sled? The M8 and Xp are with in like 10 or 15 lbs of each other. My nitrous bottle weighs 10 lbs, I can't tell a difference when it's on there or not. Just like gas, mid day the sled doesn't feel any different than it does in the morning, but it's missing 35 lbs of gas? People say the 154 x 16" track has the same surface area as the 162 X 15" but when the 154 doesn't climb as high it's because the cat track was longer, when it does go as high or higher it's such an amazing sled that it made it higher on the hill with a shorter track. Seriously, who goes out and runs these sleds side by side, same rider, same hill, same line, back to back runs so the snow conditions are the same then runs to snowest and reports that the M8 or Xp is the greatest hill climbing sled to ever hit your local mountain. I know me and my friends don't do that crap, we have different sleds, all setup how we like them. We ride until we are out of gas and then we go home. No trading around and trying to prove who's sled is better. I guess it's just really not that important. If you want to talk about reliability, that's understandable and pretty easy to compare. But trying to compare what sled works better is pretty retarded imo. You'll never figure it out, there will never be a winner. If it works for you, rock it, if it doesn't, buy something else. Whatever you do just STFU and do it.

XP rules, you're all just a bunch of haters!
I came off a 05 rev for my XP, it rips!! Buddy came off M8 for a XP, he's thrilled, other buddy came off Dragon for XP, he was tired of being out climbed. One more came off 07 rev for XP and he's ok, still really loved his rev. Only problem, when it's just the four of us riding together we look like a bunch of Skidoo *** kissers when in reality we all believed that doo just had the best sled for us the past couple years. I really like the XP, and yes it's been in the shop, but if you can handle riding aggressively it is awesome. If Kia or Hyundai builds a better sled for me next year I'll ride that one.

My XP came from the factory set up Like a pice of ****. I have spent hours and hours tinkering with my sled and fighting with BRP for belts, 21 tooth gears, clutch bushings/springs, wiring updates and a drive shaft (which is being installed right now when I could be riding my sled). There are many things that piss me off about the XP and BRP BUT now that I have spent the time fixing most of the numerous problems There isn't a stock sled that I have seen that will come close to what the xp can doo in deep snow.
This sled is the best mountain sled out there but half of them are sent out of the dealerships Performing like a 2000 model 700cc sled.
BRP needs to wake up and get some quality control on there products. All these xp hater posts are there because one xp dosn't run the same as the next from the factory.
Line up the clutches(move motor over 4mm), put the 21 tooth sprocket back in the chaincase and the sled rips!
