Ski-Doo 2026 Out of the Box!

he is always RIGHT on the timing of these videos
Curious how the cooling doesn't suffer with the shortened cooler.
They said they redesigned the scratchers to throw more snow into the sled. Look what it did for polaris. Now they're fine. Look at the heat exchanger on a 25 cat and you'll feel good about the doo. Doo also has accessory flap they want to sell you. Cat has nothing.
I feel like if there's one thing you can count on with BRP, it's their tolerances for durability and runability.
They're not going to a lighter and thinner track and sacrificing durability
They're not running smaller coolers at the expense of running temperatures
They simply wouldn't do it if they couldn't maintain the same performance

They have a history of taking hard knocks that says otherwise.
03-07 rev E modules breaking / crumpling without even bending an A arm. (I had 3)
Big track windows in 07 powder lite tracks ripping through. (Had 2)
08 - 16 S modules breaking like glass. (Had 2)
17 S modules breaking like glass. (I had finally learned and stayed away)
Hopefully they remember all those with the new lightweight refinements.
10 skidoo’s since 04 with no issues.
I guess also the belts in 2017 (never solved, just added venting)
And the chain cases in '23

Ski doo is a way better product than Polaris at the current time. Nothing like buying a more expensive boost adding lots of after market stuff to make it run right. Vents cold air intake air box mods just to get it not to bog in deep snow where it was intended to run. I thing Polaris engineers just drove it down the trail and said we are good.
You're not wrong.
I tell my friends if they want a great sled that's good to go out of the crate, buy a Doo.
If you're willing to spend ~$1k after you buy, get the Boost.
I don't mind addressing a few things to get a sled that performs the way the Boost does.
That's why it's disappointing to see the expert miss out on the new skid.
It sounds like they may have fixed the bar sawing and ski feedback on the front end with the dual steering links. Add in the coil over skid with no Tmotion and hopefully it will ride just like a Polaris and we can have the best of both worlds.

And if Doo is asking, yes we would like the narrow track on the expert too
15 wide on a 32 front-end might be a little over the top.

I don't think so but you would lose a lot of float for the weight ya might save! Ask guys how much they like their lynx 15 inch, trenches a lot more.
Heard rumor a lynx trenches alot. Way more factors on lynx trenching than 15 wide.
I think a turbo R expert 32" with coilover skid would be a fun sled to try.
Likely available from the factory in 2027.
Or just buy the 2026 expert and install a Carbonsled skid...... Hmmmm.
Ti exhaust and you could be 6-8# lighter than a stock can Boost.
Or still 5# more than my 2022 with a can and headlight delete.
Add $28K.
I need grant money from USAID.
I'm probably going to fold. I was going to boost a cat but expert can be had for less money and 4 year warranty on a boosted sled is a pretty sweet deal. Steering seems sweet. Motor is awesome. I'm going to ride one in next few weeks. We'll see.I think a turbo R expert 32" with coilover skid would be a fun sled to try.

Please report back on the steering.
That's the only actual question on viability.
For sure.
It's probably their rear skid design and the fact that they are so much heavier than a Summit. Looking at the Lynx website the Shredder RE weighs about 35 pounds more than a Summit X.
