I just watched a video from some Russian mountain group,we ain't 💩 here in north America!! These guys travel through mountains with 8 feet of snow! Nuts....
“It’s that time of year again.” I have been in pain for so long I wanted winter for so long and it’s finally here...
🤩
Would of been great to see a short test drive , good video!
If you're going to go off-trail with a heavy 4-stroke, you need a big track.... That's why these rock!
I spring ordered this exact sled and just took it for a ride today. The power is unbelievable and I really had to hold on! Wow! Not used to anything like it and am comfortable saying it's a little different than riding my 2013 Tundra LT with a 600 ACE.
When youtuber ask me to like i always acidentaly clic on tumbs down by mistake. 🤷♂️
Damm i hate youtuber asking that even more at the beginning of the video.
Your lucky you still got a comment out of this ;)
And i now feel better
Bought 2022 Expedition 600R E-TEC last spring. It gets up and dangles. I can't imagine the 850 or 900 ACE Turbo.
Oh, that snow never really did make here a couple weeks ago...got out twice and not itching anymore but twitching...aaarrrgghhhh.
Excited to receive my 24 expedition extreme 900R. Keep up all the good work! Hope to catch yas out there.
I ride my 2020 850 in Revelstoke BC. This sled handles 4ft of powder with no issues. I can ride in the mountains or the trails....it is absolutely the best versatile sled on the market. Plus it tows like a beast. People are always looking at this sled in the mountains and it's funny because you wonder what they are thinking in a sea of Summits and Polaris mountain sleds. The only draw back is you cannot do major steep verticals but I have no interest in doing it.....however the vertical slopes I take on would probably be considered to steep for normal flatlanders. Great Sled!!!
Thanks for your comments. I was wondering about mountain riding.
I’ve put my 850 Extreme in over 4ft of powder. Jumped it off a bank, stopped it, went forward and in reverse a couple times to sink it in. Barely had to touch the throttle and it climbed right out like nothing.
I'm not a skidoo guy but will freely admit that for me it's the absolute best machine on the market right now. In a world of unlimited funds I'd have it and a ton of linq stuff attached to it.
Met a guy in Maine last week with one all tricked out. $27,000 is what he said he had in it.
Awesome sled, thanks for sharing.
Great video as always! I wish this was available last year. I bought a new Renegade X, with the 900 turbo R, and absolutely love it, but I looked hard at the Expedition Extreme. I didn’t want to go back to a two stroke. I’m glad they stepped up to the 900 in this model. I usually trade every three years, and this will definitely be my next ride! Thanks for the great information as always!
All that information without a teleprompter. Nice
It is great you did this report. However, we would like to see 90% of the video focusing on the sled, and maybe 10% on the host. You literally could continuously circle the sled with the camera while talking. Also, next time you set up, notice how having the sun in front of the object makes the video easier to watch. Better yet, choose a semi-cloudy day. Worst case is having the bright sun facing the camera, with the sled in between.
Keep at it, eventually you will understand these basic concepts.
Beautiful 🤩
I bought the 850 version of this sled last March and I think it's gonna live up to my expectations. I love speed and power but need utility and practicality. Towing ice fishing shacks, excursions too far off places, low snow or above freezing conditions etc.
Yes let all the episodes begin!
Countdown is on!!
great cabin/trail sled
Just picked up the 2024 Expedition SE 900 Turbo R. Pretty much the same sled, with the exception of shock package. Can’t wait to ride. Coming from a 2019 Freeride 146.
Have a 2022 model and since 2010 I’ve been riding summit and freedrides(154’s) in Northern Newfoundland. The majority of my riding is in the backcountry, breaking trails in the long range mountains. Can it go where a mountain sled can go, no but it puts up one hell of a fight. Only thing I’m going to change on mine is upgrading my track, same as the Lynx Xterrian Brutal with the 2.5 inch lug.
Very nice unit
I just bought this sled ... and it'S bye far the best i ever ride with ... Craze how powerfull it is for the size but also confy and ride smooth. I had a Backcountry before and i really don't regret my choice.
I'm looking forward to test it around my place in abitibi Temiscamingue this winter. By the way absolutly good review u did here!
This sled would be so nice to ride in Abitibi...
Great review! The season is upon us at last!
🥳
A friend told me he bought one and was ging on about it. I never even considered it util he said he loved it even on the trials. So I have been watching youtube videos and everyone who has one or does a review is gong on and on about it. My friend must have mentioned it since I was telling him how bad my sleds are on gas. He said he is never looking for fuel. His 850 SE expedition 2023 is great on fuel! So it's now very much on my radar!
People need to take a chance on theses sleds as u say they hook up exactly what all sledders are looking for haha 🤠👍
You definitely make me want to buy one. It wiil be interesting to see that model in the G5 config. Luke give my regards to your father, i have not talked to him in many years.
Thanks for this video, waiting for my 2023 se expedition, hoping i get it soon
Awesome!
Finally picked up my 2023 expedition se , finally ! Now there is no snow here in New York! Waiting patiently, ! Impressive looking sled ! Thanks for the great videos
U guys gotta take this thing off trail and do a video of of it driving around stuck renegades! Lol definitely a cool sled, a couple performance upgrades it would be so much fun showing up all your buddies on there Mach’s and sidewinders… 😂
Who hoo! New sled videos!
🤘
Thanks for the Video, I am getting its cousin , the 2023 Lynx Brutal, cant wait , would love to see a video on that machine ... :)
Very nice!
The 850 xtreme was your sled of the year a couple years back, and I believe it was also another snowmobile magazines sled of the year for the same season.
I bought the 850 and it is the ultimate everything sled. It works hard, takes the lead on trail rides, climbs and plays in the Rockies.
If you had to pick a one sled Arsenal you just need to decide 2-stroke 850 etec or 4-stroke 900 turbo R.
Can't recall picking it as our Sled of The Year, but it is an excellent sled no less.
Snowtrax why is that? With these being top sellers and versatile for all riding types why do the 136" trail sleds keep winning the award?
Sleds have come so far. Would love to see a modern day best bang for the buck trail performance shoot out
Love this idea!
Most appropriately named snowmobile ever. They are selling good, seen a few at the dealer and I had to drool.. the black and dark red looks soon good.
It's an impressive machine to see in person. It's soooo big.
Great walk around. Any plans to test ride any of the 2023 Lynx models this season?
Would like to hear more on testing utility sleds!
Please also do some reviews on accessories such as helmets, gloves, gps devices etc. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. The Expedition and the Grand Tour models get very little press time. I’m assuming largely in part to lower market share and price. I hope to buy one of the above this coming year to replace my aging models. My friends refer to them as my sofa’s yet are amazed at their capabilities, no credit to my skill.
Great walk around Luke. I have the 2020 850 and absolutely love it. Great upgrade from my 600 backcountry for both on and off trail. Question: if you had to pick would you go 850 or 900 turbo?
Oof. 2-stroke vs 4-stroke...Tough question...
5000km on mine, love it
Loving my Exp 900T….
Cant wait to test my new Lynx Commander GLX 900ACE Turbo R that are quite similar. But we need MORE SNOW NOW in my part of Sweden.
I also got the Lynx GLX 900 turbo R and love it! Only down side is getting it on its side in steep terrain which is a bit hard.
Just saw one of these at the dealer today. Man what a beast! It's massive. I can't imagine riding that on the trails. You'll need a wide load permit.
It feels similar to a backcountry. If anything better as it stays flatter in the corners.
😂
@@tgfysiyf Oh yes it will stay flat and flatten anyone in its path . LOL What a machine.
i got one and put every available option skidoo has to offer... even the winch . being built now
This is what I should have bought rather than a Expedition LE 900 ACE. I don't hunt, cut wood, have cabin and such. This Xtreme model would have been the perfect machine to still have a little fun and lift the front end up a bit on a drift or two. We don't have groomed trails in central Labrador anymore so the 20" wide is attractive. But still want the fun factor and not a full on "dad mobile with the fur hat' haha.
Great video, Luke!
Thank you! 👊💥🎉
I had a yammy RX1, how does this compare weight wise. The RX1was tonnage but comfortable and pretty quick for a four stroke at the time.
Sounds like my 2019 Polaris Titan XC with more power. Personally and for my needs I love the 20” wide track. Off trail riding is a fearless event without the worry of getting stuck. Couldn’t get an expedition extreme when I bought the Titan.
Great video. Ridden an older expedition. Great sled for off trail. Can’t say I ever thought it could use a turbo though. I do like the rear rack. I agree that should be on the renegade. Can never have too many mounting points. Just wish the linq gear was cheaper. Glad you are doing more walk around of other models. Always good to see the differences between them. Hope one will be a gen 5.
Thank you! 👊💥🎉
Wish all the equipment was more affordable, many of us have limited resources.
I have a gen 4 900ace na expedition, and a pro rmk. The crossover segment, for me, is the extreme / titan. I'd replace both my sleds with an extreme. Not ideal for, jumping , although it's been done!
How does it do in the deep powder
It's incredible that the core engine is the same as my 90HP Seadoo Spark and the Skidoo is making double that with the same block! I'd love to know what exactly the differences are, obviously the turbo and the ecu tune... but does it have different pistons? Rods? Cams? Maybe a reinforced crank? or is the 900 ACE platform just that overbuilt?
You can get a swt with the same engine, its crazy would love to see an overview and your opinion on those because where I live everyone is dropping mountain sleds for swts with the 900 turbo r!
I have a titan and I love it, but this is a sweet killer sled
Titan's a great machine.
The fact the ST crew hasn’t put together a shootout or comparo sport utility vid is surprising at this point. Mind you I find the expedition in its own class. Between the titan expedition, Norseman/transporter would make a good utility/trail/off trail comparison. As I’m patiently awaiting a 49 ranger in North America..
I forgot the voyager also. With or without the new S4!
Exciting times in this industry it’s amazing. Something for everyone :)
It is a great idea. We have not had all of these models on the ground at the same time to shoot out.
I bet!! Locking down all of them particular units for a comparison , I imagine is easier said then done. Would love to see this segment of machines have a shoot out
Why is there a 2k difference between the 600 efi vs the 600 ace
Put it in neutral and you can get the turbo going at a standstill 😂 … love mine so far! 👌
Sounds like a Rocket!!!
Ya know i have been around turbo drag cars etc for a big chunk of my life, i am so confused on why everyone says it doesnt work the same as a regular turbo please inform me of what is so much different because its forced air induction...
Id imagine it's for the ice fisherman. What's the cooling like? Would it pull ice houses on low snow without beating up the machine too bad?
Maby a future episode? Compare brands ability to tow on different conditions
Guys around here haul big ol' bob sleighs with 8, 10 and 12 ft logs. Put 2 pelican sleighs together and haul firewood...yes, it will haul a ice shed, easily.
Edit: it's a work horse, I have one with a 600R E-TEC. It pulls.
I've got a '19 SWT with the 900 ace non-turbo. It has no problem hauling logs. They have cooling fans. A set of ice scratchers would help keep the suspension slides from sticking at higher speeds on hard frozen trails.
Would like to hear how the 850 compares to this model. Pros and cons.
I like that idea.
I was supposed to get that expedition xtreme 900ace turbo r this year, but it did not show up, and there is no date of delivery yet 😢
Ahhh that sucks. Dang supply chain issues.
Biden economics
Is that a gen 5 or 4
An actual walk around of the sled would have been good see in a walk around video instead of a 3/4 front view for the majority of the video.
100%
Detailed Overview.
At the 15 second mark you said "here is another walk around video".
Should do a review on polaris new 4 stroke
We've done the walk-around like this which is on our channel. Full review coming soon.
What don’t you like about the 4 stroke? I just bought a 23’ Skidoo Renegade XRS 900R. Never owned a 4 stroke before.
I got the exact same sled as you and I'm wondering the same thing lol Everything I've heard the 900r turbos are fantastic
This isn't Luke, but pretty sure he's not crapping on the 4-stroke. He just loves 2-stroke sleds the most. That 4-stroke engine is a beast. I'll see if I can get him to chime in on this thread though.
👍👍😎✌️🤟😊😊😊😊😊
Would you recommend this sled for a remote long range several day Trip
Yes.
Ns
It needs a lynx brutale track
Swiss army knife of sleds but pricey though would be my first choice of sleds if I had the $
I have an Expedition Sport 900, the rear shock sucks, and try as I may there are no decent shocks available from anyone. Two up requires the heavier spring at a minimum! Why don't they offer a decent rear shock setup?
Other than catering to those that gotta have a 4 stroke isn’t the 15 xtra hp of the TurboR just used up carting the xtra weight around?
The spread in hp, between the 850 2-stroke and 900 4-stroke, depends on elevation. 15hp difference is when at sea level. Keep in mind that naturally aspirations engines lose about 3% of their peak hp per 1,000 feet of elevation gain. We live at 5,000 feet and ride from 7,000 - 10,000, so non-turbo engines are down 21% to 30% vs the same engine at sea level. A turbo engine can make up for the elevation by increasing boost which increases air/fuel density to sea-level levels. I don't recall how Skidoo tuned the 900 turbo and if it can run enough boost to fully make up for the losses, but if it can, that 15hp spread at sea level becomes a 64hp spread at 10,000 feet. That being said, I still prefer the 2-stroke over the 4-stroke.
@@MrChadx1 Then I have to ask why not go with the lighter 2 stroke turbo? Especially at elevation where snow is deeper and weight means everything.
@@robertlarrabee9115 Ski-doo doesn't offer a turbo 2-stroke in the Expedition models; only the non-turbo 600 ETEC and non-turbo 850 ETEC. But for mountain sleds like the Summit models, yes, many do go for the turbo 2stroke over the non-turbo 2stroke (Skidoo doesn't bother putting any 4-stroke engines in the mountain sleds because no one would buy them due to the weight).
@@MrChadx1 There’s that word weight again.
What are you guys doing for studs on this sled
Are you looking for a stud?
Why would the G5 be less "twitchy" than A G4..isn't it the same?
I was going to comment the exact same, they are the same as the late model G4 with RAS X and R Motion X. the G5 has slimmer plastics, gauge and buttons.
It's just typical of Snowtrax to double down on the gibberish they spew from years past to pedestal Polaris
Show under the hood, lights, hitch, skiis etc.
k
Bring the Backcountry xrs 154 900R !
Would have been nice to see the entire sled, but instead stared at the front end for 9mins
Had to give you something to whine about...
I want to Sell the rest of my sleds and get the Turbo R expedition
Bro do it. I just checked a 24 extreme 900r with all the fruit. Can’t wait for next season already !!
Believe or not it dont sound that bad for a 4 stroke and I dont like 4 stroke sleds
With the walk around video why not do an actual walk around so people can see the features options etc ?
k
Duh
I Traded
The downside to that sled is it heavy like a tank. It would take a dozer to get the thing unstuck
All you need is a packable shovel with you. It’ll back out anywhere
They are not that bad to get out if you let off the power so you don't spin the track down to far. Most times you can stomp the snow down with your feet and back up if you're on somewhat level ground.
You said it’s a walk around video and you literally don’t walk around the sled. You show a picture of the skid, the track and that’s it. I’m completely confused.
Ahh, but we called it an overview in the title. What were you hoping to see by walking around the sled that you didn't see in the the presentation?
@@snowtrax first of all, love you guys. I just thought at least a walk around the sled, view of the controls, dash/screen from rider POV. Just see what’s new, what it looks like from 360 view. Just kinda you man standing next to a static shot talking. That’s all, just a bit more visually engaging. No hate just an observation. Happy holidays and ride safe!
At least you could have is a suit that matches!!!!!
I know right?!?!? Get some fashion, Luke!!
No pull start!
4 strokes never have pull start. Maybe some old ones but nothing new will
Alot of 2 strokes don't either 🤣
@@jasonbrushett2005 most Polaris do.
@@bartdaw6681 you r right!
Not a very good "walk around" seeing the cameraman stood at the front and that's all we saw...
Says "overview" in the title. Next time we'll send the cameraman for a walk.
Hopefully we won't be going to electric sleds anytime soon. Your videos won't be nearly as good revving up an electric sled.
Doubtful electric is going to take the sled world by storm any time soon.
watched the the video guess i may fell asleep cus i didn't see and walk around you just stood there and talked abut did show or point out anyting
You're ridiculous.
there's no riding footage we can find all this info in written reviews. We want to see ride footage man, how annoying
Calm down.
I would like to see after these walk arounds you start it up and giver as you drive away on video
