Well ya 90% is the rider, the Polaris just not built like others, shaving of weight every year has made them ... kinda disposable

Same as the old 2 stroke vs 4 stroke dirtbike debate, it all boils down to rider.

This not what I consider tech riding. Pretty flat. I'd say this about any sled. That terrain is not something any mountain sled made in the last 10 years would struggle with.

Thanks man!

Exactly what I was thinking, I have a Nytro mcxpress 270 and I know you can't hold the throttle to the bars for so long... My thoughts is that those who's whining probably drives on flat ground whith a sled who have 60hp.. Great driving👍 Greetings from Sweden

@@mrolsen6987 exakt!!😂😂

M1100 is powered by a 1056cc Suzuki Twin (2018 feature the Yamaha 998cc triple. If your buddy has an M1100 and he hasn’t swapped the engine, he has Suzuki... although it was a great engine, it pales in comparison to the Yamaha. Look where the turbo is positioned, it’ll tell you which engine it is. Suzuki turbo is mounted in front of the exhaust manifold under the intercooler, Yamaha has its turbo on the stator side of the engine directly under the side panel. Also, a fast look at the left front (pto side) revealing a boost tube protruding from the side behind the shock tower tells you it’s a Suzuki, Yamaha throttle bodies are direct fed from the turbo thus there’s no boost tubes visible outside of the engine compartment.

loudelectronics yep! They are 153" 😊

That's so rediculous, everyone falls

we are old BRP riders, so we are comfortable with the non-vertical steering :D

weekendsledders well it's impressive, hoping I can still do technical trees when I get mine!

Vertical steering posts are only an advantage when you are consistently climbing chutes, etc. Otherwise a little tilt will amplify the steering angle with less rider input. Makes for a more comfortable day in the trees with a little tilt.

klasmvm haha 1" rsi extender on the original bar makes the difference😊 full steering the bar takes in the seat😂

this is done on both of them :) Stage2+ www.rjweldcustom.com/products/sidewinder-turbo-featured-product/ and a cluth kit from modshop.se

1teddy1979 U just hear it in a different way when its 4stroke. You need to let go of the gas/throttle so little to hear that sound. You dont hear the same thing on a 2-stroke even when you use the throttle the same way

weekendsledders ah ok

1teddy1979 Have you ever heard about throttle control?? He uses the gas to control the sled and the sled's movements in the snow........

Sprengt Reim I can control a sled with even throttle movements

its not the blow-off valve thats making the flutter sound, that sound is excess pressure going back and through the turbine

Jamie Brenton please let me hear whats crappy about the new sidewinders?😊 have you tried one out? Can we have a review

weekendsledders yes I have, and front end weight, is and always has been the problem.

Two stroke bone head

Maybe you are just weak and cant handle this toy? I drive 2-stroke but weekendsledders seems to do a pretty good job on this one.

I ride a 2 stroke and would never buy a 4 stroke sled but my buddy has a turbo viper and that thing is absolutely insane for power. Doesn't feel heavy when the skis never touch.

You probably right but I doubt that yamaha has ever been so close to its competitors as this year!:)

weekendsledders love your modesty! Few will compete but none will look or sound as good doing it.

Yamaha has produced one of the most powerful engines to EVER be available in a stock package. The potential achievable from this power plant is staggering! The most I've seen thus far is 880hp and rock solid stable. That's absolutely insane! And the throttle response is nearly equal to the most skillfully tuned 2 cycle. A little weighty, but it's not noticeable to an experienced rider. These sleds aren't built for a 150lb guy, if you aren't 200lbs+ these boosted 4 strokes will brutalize you. Don't buy a sled that's beyond your capabilities. 120hp 600cc sled is more than enough for most people, 300hp will hurt you, and if you don't have the skills to control that kinda power, you won't have fun riding it.

@@beaumontlivingston8084 I'm 164 pounds and ride a nytro. I can still man handle it and keep it from man handling me.

Noah Rule Doo-che lol

Darrren Betker hahaha you clearly dont know what you talking about😂 please link a vid that shows technical backcountry with even gas😊 gonna be fun to see!

Darrren Betker everybody is a processional.

I ain't no professional and this guy would defiantly outride me up a hill but it does seem like he's on and off that throttle more then usual. Maybe that's how you ride these four strokes? Awesome sled though. The power seems unreal.

Brandon Terrio the guy riding the 2 stroke is just as much on and Off the throttle

Juho Mannela not nescessary. Neither one of them knows then.
