A trail dominating weapon! Doo setting the bar as usual. Don’t worry folks, give the bar setting Indy a few years and it will perform similarly. Thanks for the vid AJ.
Just looked at 20.5 renegade at local dealer, the upgraded gauge cost $800 more and you have to have your phone connected to make the GPS work, for $800 it should be like the PoLaris gauge, built in with no phone needed, also I go snowmobilng to get away from phone calls, last thing we need are people riding being distracted by incoming phone calls
I love my 2020 except for the pathetic stock headlights. Sad to see that skidoo is not addressing this major issue for 2021. Even after spending over $1k on skidoo accessory lights I still have poorer lights than a stock Polaris.
You spent $1000 on accessory lights (assuming you have lower and side LED), spend another $90 on LED bulbs. If a $90 LED bulb is the only advantage Polaris has i think you made the right purchase decision.
Look in to GTR Lighting Ultra Series 2(H13).... Way brighter than even the Polaris' headlight. I put them in my 2020 and big difference and no wiring changes like with all the accessory lights.
I installed a large LED light on the front of my 2008 xp800. I had an issue with it sucking to much power so the heated grips wouldn't get very warm so I wired it so when I then the LED light in, it shuts off one headlight. This solved the issue and it's insane how well it works in night riding
I’m a Doo guy but by the sounds of it Polaris jumped up their game even more in the handling department for 2021. Doo better up their game big time when they replace the Gen 4 in 2022
@@nsa6790 no i read alot of reviews,, why will the person not answer simple question, he said his 850 polaris blew up, never said what model or what went wrong with engine
The 7.8" display and the quick adjust suspension is only available on the 850 and 900 turbo. The 2021 book and videos are misleading in that they led the buyer to believe that it's available on the 600r engine option in the x-rs and x packages. But, otherwise, the 2021 suspension looks to be a big improvement.
Wow, nice video AJ. Happy I waited for 2021 to consider a new sled...had to bail on a 2020 snow check. Hi rez display looks great, I'll be getting that for sure. Limited colours are only short coming for me on these machines. Orange/Black or Yellow/Black for Backcountry XRS would be good. If only Renegade came in 146 or longer track. Yeah picky picky lol
I always listen to music using my helmet communicator when I ride so it would be a useful feature. Also the built in apps such as GPS are pretty useful.
I like ski lift , I’ll try one but I’m extremely happy with my 2020 mxz xrs , except my sled is good looking , that red bronze combo is terrible. The new gauges are really nice , don’t care about music or phone , but that new nav interface is really really cool.
Alex C Polaris did figure out how to make a great handling front suspension that doesn’t bend like an aluminum can if you hit a mogul too hard, so there’s that.
Jon Labbe wait, what? The game changing, terrain dominating Rush showed Doo what ride quality was all about. At least that’s how the sled media hyped up the two generations of hay bailers over the years.
Alex C no, I was being sarcastic! 😀 I agree with everything you said. I’ve ridden them and the only thing good about them is the rear track shock that feels bottomless, but that hardly matters when the front track shock constantly crashes through its travel. That stupid, uncoupled design takes a lot of work to get set up for big bumps and when you do it’s then a big compromise for everything else. The Axys just allowed for the rider to compensate for the unbalanced handling. If that design was the way to go they wouldn’t have gone back to a conventional skid. The 17 year old IQR design still rides better and is more capable than that Rush/Pro-XC ever was. The
I’d rather they focus their R&D on making their sleds lighter instead of gimmicky, gee whizz gauges. When I go for a ride I’m out riding, not playing mobile office.
Ok so , how far can they possibly go ? All the new upgrades ect . There has to be a limit. !! What is the limit? When will they reach that? I want to see a 2040 skidoo . Will there be such thing as snow in 20 years? The teck has to peek at some point. One for thought. Sleep on that one. Feel free to post your 2040 concept skidoos lmao
I rode a 21 renegade XRS 850. Big difference, stays flatter through corners, no inside ski lift, less transfer in the rear, front end feels more rugged and stable over bumps. It did not have the new ski's however
I drove this exact same sled yesterday. I personally own a 19 renegade xrs. The front end was very noticeable. It refuses to lift the inside ski in corners. Its absolutely on rails. Absolute must must buy for someone who enjoys ripping tight twisty trails.
The sweet scream of a 2 stoke engine is the only sound I need while I ride! Bluetooth connectivity not required!

paul mollise use do not disturb mode
Caleb M. Yep, that’s my plan!! Haha
Caleb M. New gauge is 700$ and it’s not included in the 20.5 renegade
I wish the colours on the mxz x was orange and that gold colour. Thanks for this video it’s awesome.

hey gotta keep asking you stated your polaris 850 blew up & your dealer gave you sled so you can go north fake news right ya dip ****

Canadians got us by the you know what’s Polaris or arctic cat would never do that 👍
You can get a renegade 600x but the 7.8 display is not an option. I was very disappointed when I snow checked it.
Trav City Talked to a rep yesterday, the stater in the 600 wont handle the big display
Mike the Executioner yes you can....
I have an eye roll of a question. Is it possible to put an ras x front suspension in a 2020 bcxrs?
Wow, nice video AJ.

How important is all this bluetooth on a snowmobile?
old wrench i never listen to music when i ride
I always listen to music using my helmet communicator when I ride so it would be a useful feature. Also the built in apps such as GPS are pretty useful.
Not important at all. But still something I want :'D
How wide is the front end vs standard? Will it still fit in truck bed and will two sit side by side in trailer?
New front end is 43 inches wide vs ras 3 42 inches
isiah Smith Thanks!
Tom Traynor correction it’s actually 44”
0:23 and then 0:25. Are these 2 different skids? The rear arm is different. Maybe pre production.
I'm guessing but its probably 129 vs 137" skids.
Ha didn't even think on that

The sport is in more sleds...expedition, tundra, skandic, grand touring
Just when Polaris thought they caught up to rear ride quality last season...
Right! Although now they are adding flat cornering, a nice gauge and bluetooth...Skidoo finally caught the 2015 Polaris lol

Exactly who want's to take a phone call while riding ? I'm riding to get away from all that !
The 600 ace is still there for the sport...
It is in the Renny and utility line. MXZ only offers the 600 EFI 2-stroke.
The gauge should have had a gps or gps version
G Mac it does

Kyle Tracey electric power is likely by then, once battery tech is light enough and works in the cold.
This suspension has a problem in terms of ease of lifting.
Where's the ride review?? Need the independent analysis not some guy from skidoo with a loose grip on the English language.
