Crazy power to weight ratio in the 08's. Good stuff!

kccats · 03-22-2007, 10:26 PM

I tried a search and nothing! 08 MXZ 800R / 2008 MXZ 800R !

**smallengineguy** · 03-23-2007, 07:17 AM

I think he meant the 08's in general.

Is this true, I've heard from people that the newer 800's including the 800R's have been blowing up at reasonably low kilometers? Sure 155.7 hp at 8,100 RPM is appealing, but if the motor isn't gonna last what good use is the sled other than racing? Even then. I think I would take reliability over power anyday.

From what I've heard, they were beating the Mach Z's from a dig and stayed out until 800-1000 feet. That's impressive, there are a few videos of it on youtube, search Rev XP

Read on Supertrax Magazine website that with some suspension fiddling they could get it to pull ski's at 100mph!!!!!

Insane!! They also said it was beating the F1000 and was right behind the Mach Z. What a monster!

jagermiester · 04-01-2007, 11:25 AM

Has anyone seen a price tag on 'em yet?

it's on the ski-doo web site now. In Canada(which we get SHAFTED big time on) the MXZ-X 800R is around $13,000.

I'm gonna wait a year and pick up a used one, in the mean time I'm goin Mach

they absolutely HAVE been blowing up left and right out west! problems from sticking raves to bearings and mostly clutch failures leading to broken cranks. my buddy has a 144 summit x and its broke down more than he rides it. he had to have his primary replaced due to issues with it. hope they get it resolved before fall.

I think the whole reason for all those faliures is because they gave it to the Mountain guys to break it as a test bed. If anyone could break those motors it was the mountain guys. Hopefully they fixed everything. That's another reason why I'm gonna wait a year and see.
