He means his question is unrelated to the reviews of the new Doo G-4, asking about the camera.

Wow that's a lil underwhelming. All that new hp and less weight and I'd expect a lot more than a sled length

One other thing to consider, the old 3" track felt like it bit better on the snow we were riding on that day. The lugs on the new 3" track are not jagged but flat at the tip. Some track spin would occur on this snow we had this day. It was cold and hard as a rock, literally.
Also, until DJ gives us the gear ratio numbers we will not know for sure but It seemed the G4 is geared slightly lower then the same track length T3.
I think this is pretty cool actually. On pavement snow the old 800etec and the new 850etec are pretty closely matched as far as top speed, but in new snow its a very apparent difference in climbing. The yellow T-3 has a belt drive....not sure this matters but it was pulling the 16 T3 every time.
I'll be throwing a leg over a 165x2.5 tomorrow so that should be interesting in the spring snow we have. Looking at the sled in person today it looked a lot better than the pics. Very compact and nice in the engine area. Well thought out for sure.

The spec sheet says the G4 is 19/45 gear ratio. While a T3 174 is 19/51 gear ratio.

Yes and the T3 163 is 21-51
The driver diameter on the T3 is 7.2"
The Driver diameter on the G4 is 6.5"
So someone who wants to figure out the differing ratios will ya

On a side note, if I got a 154 I would be looking at the gearing for sure! not sure what the justification was in gearing the 165 G4 the same as the 154 G4. 19/45.

That would put them at almost exactly the same final ratio

I would have expected a little more, I think that was close for the one run

Head start and poaching a track at the start and here and there up the hill. Axys still hung in there.....
What were the mods to the Axys? Looks like the Poo jumped the start a little. More of a HP test than torque. The Doo has similar HP numbers but, according to the specs, has impressive torque over the 800.
The new Polaris is claimed 10% more power than before. All dynos on the old motor were 140-145 hp. New motor should be 155 ish. But dynos are showing 144-150, so...... It's a crap shoot.
And Doo is claiming 165......

This Video is exactly what we experienced every time we raced the G4 vs the Axys, as well as the older Etecs.. It pulls them all off the bottom by a couple lengths.
Only difference is in the snow we rode them in, it kept pulling the other sleds ever so slightly...
I had an opportunity to ride the new 850 165 3" on the weekend and I was certainly impressed with the power! It pulls hard!
I spent a week riding in Whistler and Revy. I rode an Axys, a Pro, my XM and my Snowbike over the last week.
The power on the 850 is incredible on clicker 1 and still in break in mode. The handling is significantly better than my XM due to it being more balanced.
One of my buds who is a Poo guy, got off the new 850 and snowchecked one right after. I already had snowchecked before I rode it! Come on October!!
