Comment on 2010 Ski-Doo 800 E-Tec… 200 miles… by Snowman is a dope

Are you on crack? I’ve had the pleasure of riding a 800 rush back to back with the e-tec 800 (and an F8 too!) and the e-tec walks all over the Rush from bottom to top, and whipped the F8 too.
Repeated lake drag races proved this over and over.
I like different things about each machine, but you clearly are nuts if you think the rush will “slaughter” the e-tec.

“Lots of bare spots but still worked our way around and had a good time. Still able to get around but gonna hit some bad spots. Zig zagged around and make our way down to Sugar Camp with Rich and Nick. Couple Good spots but for the most part poor to fair. One more warm day and then a chance of snow Tuesday and Wednesday, will keep ya posted as trails improve.”
Are you sure that this is so?

Just like to point out the reason someone would not buy a ski-doo is that the polaris 800 rush will slaughter in the bottom end. There is no way anything will be able to keep up with the transfer that the rush suspension gives and still be able to trail ride.

I haven’t driven one yet but I ordered an XRS with a 1.5″ track exchange. I had a 600 Etech XRS last year for 4000 miles and loved it. Lots of sore muscles every time I rode it. I’m beat after 200 miles hanging off the bars. Love the way it feels balanced in the air.

Test drove a 2010 800 e-tec this past March and with NO hesitation whatsoever bought it. I bought a2009 TNT 600 etec last Oct. and was totally thrilled with it, gas mileage and oil consumpion was totally amazing.Ride and handling amazing. I put 2300 kms on it and with the handling and suspension did not have a sore muscle anywhere. SKIDOO has did it again. I cannot understand why anyone that has ridden one of these sleds would even consider buying anything else. ( Ignorant loyalty maybe) My 2 cents worth…Bob
