So i,m gonna buy a new sled this fall...what do I get..i,m looking at the Polaris 600sp..the ski doo mxz 600etec..ski doo adrenaline..and yamaha nytro..i want o do mostly trails, good handling..good mileage..comfortable..not spend a ton of money...hope to have around 8 or 9 grand saved so I can pay cash for the sled..not sure on cats in these requirments, so i,m going with what I know..4 stroke? don't really need anything more than a 600 for my type of riding..

hi curly my mxz renagade 600 sdi gives me 14 to 18 mpg. some days more, and the etec is better on fuel and oil . i like the 121 in the trails. and the 136 in the fields and bumpie stuff.

cost wise,the polaris indy 600 is about $7k or more and leftover new rush's start about $8k. stick with a 600,polaris 600's are on top there game right now.i can't speak for the other brands,but i have yet to see those kind of prices for there sleds.

I,m very happy with my Polaris 600 now, so i,m leaning towards another one. I like my wifes 600 skidoo gtx, rides good for a two up and the mileage is awesome. Like to do better than the 11 or 12 mpg i,m getting now, especially with gas at 4 bucks a gallon.

Skidoo MXZ or Renegade with the E-tec 600 21 mpg, and the 600 ace gets 29 mpg. The E-tec 600 has a bit more power, but they are both good.

Hey, sorry we missed you! A buddy has the GSX with the 600 SDI and he gets over 20mpg! And his has a single seat!

The etec is the way to go. I'm not normally a Ski Doo man, but the etec technology is pretty amazing.

I,m torn between the new Polaris 600 sp and the mxz tnt 600 e tec..Polaris is a whole lot cheaper..take a long time to recover the 2 or 3 thousand dollar difference in gas money

**kccats** · 03-04-2013, 06:37 PM

I hear ya! But the oil consumtion is quiet low too! I would try to ride both and go from there!

Arctic Cat has a new direct injection 600 for 2014 that is claimed to run cleaner than an Etec. Msrp should will be around $10,000 on the new ZR6000 El Tigre.

So where did you hear or see this?

**kccats** · 03-05-2013, 07:10 AM

Wow I found it! I don't understand the Yami motor deal? Why have the 3 cly motor and the twin Suzuki?

Traves Coppock · 03-05-2013, 09:48 AM

you talking about the new '14 viper?

JDS · 03-05-2013, 11:17 AM

The 6000 is an Arctic Cat motor with what they call c-tec. Apparently Yamaha engineers have helped them get it right, but this is not the Viper. The Viper is an AC chassis with the Yamaha 3 cylinder 4 stroke.

C-Tec. Really? Can't come up with a different name? Same with four wheelers, Polaris has had On-Demand since they started producing a 4wd four wheeler (atv, whatever), and now I think it's Yamaha that calls their system On-Command. The marketing teams really need to think outside the box once in a while.

I totally hear you it so lame.

Yeah, you're right. Who cares how well the product is engineered or how well it performs? It's the name they give it that counts.
