It's a nice Machine but the engine sounds like it is screaming at cruising speeds. I was close to buying one but I'm holding out for a machine that is less noisy in the cab

I ordered a 26 Renegade XRS 900tr, standard shocks, 10.25 gauge, 1.5 IR in Mineral Blue. I really wanted SS but just decided I want to get away from any air lines or wires in my skid. Maybe in a few years I will feel different. Also they went back to a 4 year warranty as well if you choose that option.
I ended up with a 137 850 xrs. I wasnt gonna get the smartshox, but got talked into it, hopefully i like it.Never wrong to get a new sled. Well that what I try to tell my wife.

I think you will like the smart shocks Scoobydoo. I was debating between a Xrs600 with the gauge and smart shocks and a adrenaline blizzard. I ended up going with the Blizzard because I work on my own sleds and really didn't want to deal with all the extra work just to pull the rear skid. Hindsight is 20/20 maybe should of went with the Xrs since the Blizzard sat at the dealer all winter waiting for a pickup coil that it turns out it didn't need. I will look forward to some reviews next winter.
I am excited to try to it out. My wide has a 2024 600r blizzard that we just got to ride this winter, that is a very nice snowmobile. Its a 129 and that thing will go around a corner. I was surprised how well it handled compared to the previous generation and i didnt have any complaints about those.
I ordered 600 mxz x package with the 10.2 screen, 1.5 track in the blue. It has the same shocks as the blizzard and like scoobydoo, my wife also has a 24 blizzard and he is right about how it rides, and its effortless to steer. You actually get a little more for less money in the x package compared to blizzard. I was one of only 6 orders at my dealer. 3 poos and 3 doos. That was last friday when I was there.

Wow only 6 spring orders. I think a few people who were maybe thinking of spring ordering just decided to get a leftover. You are correct on getting a little more sled with the X. The biggest thing you get is the 4 caliper brakes, everything thing else is equal in 26 as they are putting the new Ski's on the blizzard for next season.

Ice ripper doesn’t come standard on the X like the blizzard though. Highly doubt anyone is ordering an X with the standard ripsaw unless they’re planning to stud though, as it’s just really a terrible track in this day and age compared to what else is available on the market
