Took the mountain grab bar off mine and put a ski doo FAR on it. It makes it very nice for aggressive riding when forward and cruising when back. Can’t use the riser extensions with the FAR without getting a longer throttle cable though. I ran my shocks on comfort to start and then as I rode it more, I moved the fronts closer to the middle settings as I rode it some. The shocks love the huge bumps, they will eat about everything you can throw at them.
Hey Jason! Congrats man's. The shims lift up your linq brackets 1/8th of an inch to prevent your tunnel bags or fuel caddy from scratching and putting rub marks in your tunnel. You can order them at sledaddicz.com
Have you guys checked if the rear suspension on the low speed settings is adjustable from 0-40 clicks like Janne Tapio says in his master class suspension video or is it 0-20 clicks like the 2024 instruction manual says about the Xterrain 900r turbo?
Hi Mike, I am looking forward to your reviews on this xterrain and the Backcountry xrs. I am stuck on which one to snowcheck in March. I will be riding trails, and lots of off trail as well. Old mining and logging roads with 3 or feet of snow on them. Both are very nice sleds. Any advice from you would be greatly appreciated. Great job on all your past reviews!
Beauty sled! I wonder if Chris will play with gearing at all with this sled and the track change? The Lynx is geared slightly different than the Renegade. Look forward to future vids and reviews on the Arrow track and the XT.
Put it on Comfort right away, and those big shocks need at least 1000km+ to brake in. You will find it hard in the beginning but will soften up with time. Steering is a bit heavier on low speed, thats the tricky one to dial in. But boggie is super progressive, so you can ride it in softer mode. I own a 2020 done 12000km, and it's a killer machine. Eventually, I started missing a lighter sled, so I bought a 2024 Backcountry 154 xrs 850 suits my needs better. Looks good in black that one 👊👍
That's correct. We mentioned that in the description. We had MCX on the mind as we are putting a kit in it and MCX is made in Sweden. Our error. Cheers, Jesse
Great choice. Thinking you sold me on next years spring order. You are excellent ambassadors for BRP. Keep up the good work. 👏
Thanks so much man! Really appreciate your kind words. Haha it is gonna be a wicked sled. We can't wait to ride it soon. Cheers, Jesse
Stunning sled
We think so too!
Nice video Mike. Enjoy the season.
Cheers, and enjoy it too!

That's good to know - thanks for sharing!
Sweet looking sled! Looks a little similar to the color scheme of the 22 Mach, which I really like.
Yes, it's a very nice color scheme. They killed it with this one!
I'm picking up a xterrain 850 next week. What are the shims on the linq brackets for? Thanks

Do you really have to change all four shocks at once? Could just change the rear shocks if you want? Standard front and Comfort rear?
Is it bad to tune it, before you break it in?
That is HUGE!!!!! Imagine getting stuck w that ,it will take till spring till you get it out 😂😂😂😂
LOL

Not sure exactly what Chris is gonna do but we will definitely do a video update once it's all done. Taking the sled to Chris next week :)

Is your track hitting tunnel protectors just sitting there.
No

Thanks for the insight man! Appreciate it. Cheers, Jesse
Awesome looking sled, much better then red
Waiting for the Polaris build or walk around. Be interested in hearing your comparison.
Haha the Polaris build will be launching Monday and then the walk around shortly after :)
Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jesse
You can toggle the center gauge by touching it has temp voltage and boost gauge.
Yup! We are aware...you can also do the exact same when you hold down the trip meter 😉
Ski-Doo also has the smaller diameter bars. I believe they are only on the mountain and off trail line up.
Quite possible, but the BCXRS has the normal bars for sure. I like the feel of the smaller bars so far. Cheers, Mike
Ordered exactly the same but haven't received it yet😃
From FINLAND not Sweden :)
Yup 👍
Yup! My mistake. It was corrected in the video description. Had MCX on the mind as we are putting a Kit in it and MCX is in Sweden lol. Cheers, Mike
Would be really cool 😎 to see it in a 850 E-TEC.
We have two other 850s this year :)
We always have a 900r touring sled in the fleet. Can't wait to try it out!
Keep im mind that Lynx is made in Rovaniemi Finland, not Sweden!

This is my next sled are trails here in Pennsylvania get very bumpy they do very little grooming
Good choice!
I hope your 3rd sled is a 858👍👍😀
Haha #3 is the Polaris. #4 is coming out soon. It is a BRP sled so sorry but no 858 this season
omg it isn't red, now it is a more rare color black sigh😬😬
Haha its a pretty sweet black and grey color combo
@sledaddicz 🤣🤣🤣
