you will never see me on one of those...

Never say never. If ya give me one I will ride it. Says the guy still riding the ZX chassis.

You dont know me too well. LOL! I will ride my ZX to the grave!!! ;)

And I gotta say you and budda are TRUE troopers!

Add me to the list too :D Hey, we've been hearing that the '08s were looking like Freestyles :rolleyes:

I like it!

this will come as a shock,,, but paint it green and I will ride it,,, it appears to sit more like the new cat f series with the rider forward but also the ability to swing your feet forward as well and I really liked that,,,,

BRP asked dootalk to remove them(spy photos) and they did.

Thats too funny, believe what you want but these pics didn't come from some lucky photographer. As with every new release the last few years, I'll bet the factory had a hand in getting some internet chatter going on this one. :wink:

BTW, If its rides as good or better than the Rev I'd buy one. Looks mean much less to me than all around performance :)

just like the jaguar pictures that someone claimed to have taken as it was riding down the ditch beside his truck,,,, that was a nice try, but everyone has to know that cat put those pictures out to get people talking,,, to get people wanting them. That is exactly what those pics are out there for also,,,, it would be awful hard for anyone to convince me that doo didnt have A LOT to do with those pics being out here on the net.

Right, and then like clockwork the manufacturors plead to have the pics removed from sites to keep things hush hush :p

Well... if they put an 800r in that chassis and if it is going to be 20-40lbs lighter than a X-RS, it's going to fly.

I think they look pretty good, though not that different from the current Rev chassis, the biggest difference being, like Puree said, you'll be able to move your feet a little further forward, which, I'll agree, it a great thing. That's the one thing I never lied about the Rev chassis.

I can&#39;t see them being 20-40lbs lighter then an RX-S though. THe RX is already coming in at <480lbs isn&#39;t it? THough I suppose if they&#39;ve gone with batteryless EFI that&#39;ll be a big savings right there.

Now, as long as they can subdue the colour somewhat it&#39;ll look pretty good I think.

As for people saying they&#39;ll never ride one...Loads of people didn&#39;t like the Rev at first either, and other then the whole beaver tail thing I think most people would now say that the looks were spot on.

Eventually we get used to everything. (THough the new F-Cat may be the exception to that rule)

this will come as a shock,,, but paint it green and I will ride it[/b]

OK RIDE IT Brian! :thumbsup:

OMG.........Now it just looks like a sick Phazer ! LOL LOL LOL

I don&#39;t know about it.....I keep looking at it but it looks like a cross between a phazer and a freestyle.. I&#39;m glad I have my 05 too.

Not bad, not bad..... :)

I still think it looks more like the Phazer, but I do see the similarity in the fusion. As Simon and Matt have stated they are happy with thier S-chasis.....I too am happy with my REV and don&#39;t think I will be looking to buy one of those any time soon........BUT remember in 03 the reaction to the REV.. and now look at how many you see. Just food for thought.

Snow4

I am looking forward to riding one for sure!

Not sure of the appearance tho,all 4 make ugly sleds :)

Definitely looks more like a Fusion then a Phazer, which is a good thing, I like the Fusion. The Phazer is nice from a utilitarian point of view, but esthetically, it missed the boat.

This sled reminds me alot of the Techno Bee :D

Boy, you hit the nail on the head there!!!!!!!!

Its very sharped edged and stealth bomber like. FYI, those planes can only fly because of the electronics that keep it airbourne, and not the areodynamics. Kinda like a brick...lol

YUCK!! But I do like the foot boards, looks like it would help keep the snow cleared off more with the bigger cut-outs. Looks like doo took a bit from all the other manufactures and blended them together into one.

WONDER how much heat that thing holds in? ....IS the gas gage fixed? . Doo needs to fix the little things.. that would keep them on top. Buying new design for 9k is one thing , but are we still going to be dumping a couple hundred bucks into this thing every year for new bushings,balljoints,rings,and a case of belts?

mutt

well its green,,, have it at the charity ride and you can take all the pics you want of me riding it,,, LOL I still think it looks GOOD,,,

Wow that thing is absolutely hideous. I really dislike this departure from the traditional sled look. The rev was/is ok because of the aggressive look and stance it gives off. It seems all 4 manufacturers are going this route, snub-nosed machines that look like they are out of cartoons. I imagine the performance will likely be out of this world, and make my old iron look like an antique, but at least i&#39;ll look better dooin&#39; it!

Doesn&#39;t doo anything for me, hope the ride/performance is better than it looks!

i agree i have the s-2000 and love it its how they should look but we might have to hjold on to them because they are going and not comeing back may b outpreformed but we still look better

BRP asked dootalk to remove them(spy photos) and they did.[/b]

It&#39;s not like they were taken inside the &#39;doo plant by someone. This summer before the &#39;07 Silverado was released to the public a pic of it taken inside was floating around the &#39;net. A bunch of the guys that were involved w/ the launch & had seen the finished product (we&#39;d only seen primered & camoed versions) were read the riot act.

There was a big stink a couple of years ago about a Polaris pic. It was taken by a vendor & circulated.

We&#39;ve all seen pics of new cars & trucks out on the streets camoed up. Those are fair game as well.

Back to the sled, I wonder if the non-X versions will have a windshield?

you will never see me on one of those...[/b]

I said the exact same thing when the first generation REV came out... I&#39;m now on my third :)

Well, we can&#39;t be sure if thats what the final build would look like anywyas. These could still be concept and design vehicles.

Well, they&#39;re all red-heads now-but I prefer the looks of the one that was blonde!

If the pics are real (and they look a bit too legit to be a Photoshop job), I would guess this is pretty much what will become the &#39;08 models. Considering the &#39;08 sleds will have to be manufactured within the next 4-5 months, there isn&#39;t much re-engineering time left.

For what its worth I heard its a January/07 release for snowcross only. Last year a Frenchman from BRP implied that hydro forming metal components and integration of parts would help them shave off "several" pounds. Not sure if they were successful.

I said the exact same thing when the first generation REV came out... I&#39;m now on my third :)[/b]
Exactly !

Snow4

I think if thats gonna be the new 08 people will be snatching up all the leftover 07&#39;s next year

i like it it kinda resembles a cross from a polaris and the new artic cat but it seems to flow more snow check in april i think

I agree, if the new design lends a hand to helping out all the little things then this would be a step in the right direction. More than likely all the same parts just configured in a new mold. :slick:

Personally I think the nose, headlight and windshield looks more like that of an Yamaha Apex.

I think if thats gonna be the new 08 people will be snatching up all the leftover 07&#39;s next year[/b]

I was thinking the same thing. W/ the way the weather has been, this may have been a ploy to get folks into the dealers to buy the &#39;07s :devil:

Am I the only one out here who really likes the looks of this sled??? When the rev first hit, I thought it was ugly as sin,,, also didnt care for the look of the f series from cat. The only sled that I can remember that I really liked when it first came out was the firecat in 03. I was absolutely hooked on the looks,,,, now I have the same feeling with this sled. I REALLY like the looks. I would like some seat time on one,,,, I know seat time on the f series made me realize that the looks didnt matter,,, the ride is well worth it.

No, I like it too. I thought, from the blurry pics, that it was gonna look stupid. But once I saw that clear picture I liked it. Now that I&#39;ve lloked at it about a thousand times I really love it. Hope it performs well.

I really haven&#39;t liked any similar looking sleds, phazer fusion freestyle. The only similar sled that I think looked somewhat decent was the cats. Maybe that&#39;s why the cat guy likes it- looks most similar.

I think that sled is Sweet so aggresive hope it performs as awesome as it looks I could deffinatly see my self riding one of those!!.

Grant.

I keep coming back to this thread just to look again, I will admit it&#39;s growing on me little by little already. For me however it will need some sort of windshield. Wonder what they will do there.

No I really like it too. An improvement over the Rev as far as I&#39;m concerned, and I&#39;m really surprised that so many Rev people have so many negative comments.

I like it, too! Not ready to trade in my &#39;07 but it might be nice in 2010 when I&#39;m ready for a new sled (assuming we still get snow then :))

I&#39;d take it without complaint if Santa dropped one off here

hydro forming metal components.[/b]


I think our webmaster knows a thing or 2 about that :wink:

i like it too, in fact alot. i&#39;ve never been horny over the REV. my only concern is it {2008 model}might be a love at first sight and then not so hot looking after awhile for me anyways. but who cares about looks if it is a great sled?

hydroforming will help maintain the ridgity of the metal after it is formed/bent.

You hit it on the head right there,,,, I did not like the looks of the f series when it first came out,,, it is starting to grown on me though,,, but as for the ride, it was amazing. It ate my firecat alive as far as trail riding,,, could be different down here in ditches and fencerows,,, but that f series was amazing whipping down trails,,,, so I can live with the looks when the sled performs like that one did,,,,

Exactly, if something performs great, you&#39;ll love it for that, and because you love it, you&#39;ll eventually think it looks good too.

its a hate love thing for me i like the stelth look but the pug nose isn&#39;t that great id buy one. i dont like new sleds tho they break too many parts.

I think it looks just like a Polaris Fusion Sorry! :ohmy:[/b]
who it really does look like a fusion, kinda cool but kinda ugly. 08 will be one heck of a year for sleds. AC with the twin spar chassis, polaris will be getting big blocks back in the line up (have a freind that works for polaris, then might come out with a late season 900), skidoo with a new chassis, and yamaha with a whole new market of their own. we will see what will happen

I like it also. I&#39;ll take one with an 800 SDI in the renegade. But since I&#39;m a whimp, I&#39;ll have to put a windshield on it also.

FishHog

Awsome looking sled, I like it.

While it may be too much of an extreme change for some people, I think you guys will get used it it and like it eventually.

It&#39;s somthing new and fresh. The angular and edgy design with sharp lines is cool. This sled looks like the ones that never reach production and are only CAD drawing for future sleds.

Like moose said, put an 800R in there, a little lighter and its gonna fly. Hell, my bros XRS is fast, imagine 10-12 more hp and a lighter sled.

So, what&#39;s the deal? I see lots of other sites are banning the pix and members that post them and even a moderator or two.........

Something about spy photos and such.

Well, I&#39;ve looked and looked at it, and I still think it&#39;s ugly. I have a REV now which I love to ride, but my old 01 MXZ700 was the best looking sled ever IMHO, still love the look of the ZX chassis.

Has anyone else noticed that in the clearer pic of the single sled, that parked behind it is another sled with a different hood? What sled would that be?

I noticed thatthe lead sled has a different length track in the pics. one a summit and one a gade :huh:

Not bad...a little weird IMO.

I&#39;m definitly gonna have to get use to the zig zigging up the cowl. I see Doo did away with Acerbis as well. The front nose looks a little weird too. The headlights look cool, and hopefully we have a set of cool guages to look at.

I photoshopped the zigzags out and a few other things out. Looks a little better I guess.

I still insist that its all hype and SD is just manipulating the guys over at DT. How big a coincedence would it be that, oops heres a secret photo that just pops out of nowhere right about this time. Oh and doesn&#39;t these secret photos always come out this time of year, look back at when the MachZ photo appeared :crazy:
On top of that to say that the photo is copyrighted, come on. Like Revrnd said, if your riding in any type of public area then its no holds barred on pics.

If your SD its just not enough to let a pic just slip out anymore, you have to create controversy to maintain the chatter. DT is becoming too intertwined with the factory and their advertising that its tough to remain impartial. JMO. :wink:

I am the only one that sees an arctic cat jag in yellow clothing i feel like i am looking at photo shopped spy pics from last year

THis is alot better looking then a Jag, but perhaps it does show that Cat&#39;s new body style is not without hope, and all it would take is a little tweaking to make it look ALOT better.

I am the only one that sees an arctic cat jag in yellow clothing i feel like i am looking at photo shopped spy pics from last year[/b]


Wow, you can&#39;t be serious. The jag and this sled do not even look similar at all.

Kinda looks like the evok design from cadillac with the many sharp edges. It will grow on me over time. Its not love at first site like some earlier sleds (polaris mid ninties up) Could do with a few less sharp edges.

Newfiebullet&#39; that 07&#39;Dragon is one sharp machine! My two picks for nicest looking new iron would be that and the crossfire in orange.

Besides Dootalk what sites???[/b]


I heard HCS and some other sites I don&#39;t normally frequent. Possibly Ontarioconditions.com, but not sure.

I think the picture hype is to gauge interest..........

Where is the headlight? I see snow and so does snofrog( (and he knows snow).

Has anyone else noticed that in the clearer pic of the single sled, that parked behind it is another sled with a different hood? What sled would that be?[/b]


I see that...If you look close it looks a little like a modified zx hood...uuhhmmm?

I think the other sled is a 20" tracked machine. If you look well it look like a pogo stick font suspension.

Regardless of whether is hype or not, it was a request from BRP to remove the pics on Dootalk. Seeing that the site is called Dootalk, and BRP does have some input in advertising, and sponsors the site ( link on Ski-Doo website) I don&#39;t see it out of the ordinary for them to request this.

Seems like alot of people are screaming censorship over there and blah blah blah.......which is causing problems. A few members did get banned, for repeatedly posting the pics when they where told not to ( any site would do the same), and a few members resigned, and 1 moderator resigned. (but still visits).

I remember this site removing spy pics of the machZ when it was posted. So it all depends on what factors come into play and why the request was made.

In the end, its really not going to impact anyone as a life changing decision.
Its just bullheadedness that seems to stand out more.

If It was flat black wit a little white and red I think it would look better

I wonder what kind of chaincase she&#39;ll have Diamond drive?

I sure hope it doesnt have diamond drive. Id take a normal chaincase over that anyday.

If they were that great they&#39;d use them for snocross, but they dont.

I agree, I&#39;d rather not have the headache of Diamond Drive. Belt drive maybe, or gear driven, but that planetary system seems rather complicated without alot of benifit. THough the RER would&#39;ve been a good combo that would;ve made Cat&#39;s system more appealing a couple of years ago.

I gotta say it, It looks just like the new cat that is already out. So now I&#39;m a bit turned off by it. Maybe once it&#39;s released there will be a few changes and I&#39;ll change my mind?? SWRules

about hiding there new product including automotive companies hides the name of the product and tries to hide body lines and such not. These pictures are nicely prepped and look to good as far as fit and finish to be something they didn&#39;t want the picture taken of. Also where are the guys responsible for testing these and why they wouldn’t cover the sled if they didn&#39;t want someone to see it? I work for an automotive manufactory and we cover any secret vehicles whether it is in secured facilities or not to prevent things like this from happening and guess what it still happens.

I agree 100% and welcome to the site BigJeff :thumbsup:

I think it looks good, I would ride one for sure. It&#39;ll grow on you people just like the REV did. As far as it looking like other companies sleds, it doesn&#39;t. It looks like a Ski-doo.

Well, I&#39;ve looked and looked at it, and I still think it&#39;s ugly...
but my old 01 MXZ700 was the best looking sled ever IMHO, still love the look of the ZX chassis.[/b]

I&#39;m with you!

Looks like another four or five years on the old ZX. No crippled grasshoppers for me, thanks.

well i just step up from a 82 to a 99 and a sled is a sled but it does have to catch your eye


i like the arctic cats now

I agree 100% and welcome to the site BigJeff :thumbsup:[/b]
The original person that posted them on Dootalk made comments about these sleds being used for brochere pictures. So for all those that are looking for changes after these pics, I don&#39;t expect anything major. He said he rode one and gave a full list of changes that will be pretty exciting if they come to pass. 08 Skidoo leaves everyone behind again. By all means keep riding those ZX&#39;s, they are good sleds to ride (for nostalgia). I love classic cars to, great to look at and fun to take out for an occassional drive. But there is no way you can compare that to the thrill the Rev has given a complacent sport. This new sled will be a snowbound rocketship. Sign me up for asrtonaut training. I liked my ZX, I love my rev and I&#39;m already dreaming about my new REVolution II.

Its starting to grow on me and if they can fit the 1000 in it even better . I realy want to see the 1000 go on a 100lb diet to match the Cats .

just like the jaguar pictures that someone claimed to have taken as it was riding down the ditch beside his truck,,,, that was a nice try, but everyone has to know that cat put those pictures out to get people talking,,, to get people wanting them. That is exactly what those pics are out there for also,,,, it would be awful hard for anyone to convince me that doo didnt have A LOT to do with those pics being out here on the net.[/b]


I wouldn&#39;t think ski-doo wanted ppl to see those... because if people knew that in 08 they are changing there sled ppl won&#39;t by the 07 sleds. So i&#39;m gonna guess they don&#39;t want to many ppl seeing those sleds

If you get caught with your pants down then you deserve to pay the piper... i say post em everywhere. IMO

Exactly, if something performs great, you&#39;ll love it for that, and because you love it, you&#39;ll eventually think it looks good too.[/b]

at the time these pictures were posted im sure anyone who wanted an 07 had already bought one.

Well, I have to say the first time I saw that picture I laughed. No way would Ski-doo build that... but then I realized something... after seeing the pictures a few times, I like it. It looks like Bombardier took their existing sled, improved it, and merged the looks of their own machine with the looks of Yamaha AND the Fusion. If I were to merge all 3 sleds together and give it a sharper "stealthy" look, that&#39;s exactly what I&#39;d come up with. Much like how Dodge changed their curvy shaped RAM into what it is today. When the REV came out, a lot of bombardier owners felt embarassed, but that changed, didn&#39;t it? But to me it doesn&#39;t seem mean looking. The current Bombardier looks like it&#39;s frowning at ya and has more power than you dare use. This one looks like Bombardier&#39;s version of the Fusion. Ok, I think I just diss&#39;d my own sled... Anyway, that&#39;s what I think when I see those pictures: take the existing bombardier, and copy the successes from the other guys when they tried to keep up with ya, and then you end up staying on top because you have the best of all worlds and you didn&#39;t have to start from scratch like they did. Well, that&#39;s a smart move if ya ask me. I have mixed emotions on this. I wonder if it will handle better and keep up with the IQ (or outperform the IQ)?

I&#39;m torn... so torn... EVERY BRAND is changing that much now, I can no longer make ANY suggestions whatsoever. All I can say is, buy what you think you&#39;ll enjoy the most, and enjoy it. I&#39;m soon going to have to stop reading these forums before I get depressed... oiey.

there gonna be a 800r in a 418 pound chassic

F.R.E.D.D.Y. dead on, selected dealers will have a chance to test the 08&#39;s later this month.

You know the first you got of your ZX and took a ride on a new REV, WOW what a difference rumor has it when you get of your REV and saddle up on an 08 same WOW what a difference.

Good post, I agree 100% The current Rev chassis is pretty plain compared to the other sled makers, now if they can improve on the chassis some and give it an aggressive look they will have a winner. Just too many decisions now, I&#39;m possibly in the market for ordering a new sled this spring and would really like to check this thing out asap. :thumbsup:

how could u. a kitty green DOO!! your a sick man, even if you are messing with your buddies. they could not handle it any ways it will be way to fast and be able to go through a corner on the right side of the trail. w00t

I think it looks pretty sweet. I just bought an 05 recently though, so I&#39;ll wait a few years before I get one of them. By then, they should have what ever kinks they may have, ironed out.

:lookaround:

:undercover:

Sorry...

Is that a four stroke???

What&#39;s the deal with the pipe and silencer? Looks pretty four strokeish...

I&#39;m guessing they did some funky bends on those pipes to keep them equal length. Probably have an optimum length for them too. Four stroke would probably be bigger pipes too.

its crazy that skidoo still doenst use swing bars on there rear suspensions like poo and ac. thats one really long rear torque arm. this new sled of there is pretty cool. i dont like the head lights for some reason though. what to see the line up of the 800R motor vs. the new polaris small block 800 coming out. they are both in the same HP range looking at the new poo to have one or two more

Hey are these two pics the only spy photoes of the 2008 Skidoo?? Anyone find other pics?

NO!!! Where&#39;s the Doo??!! its starting to blend in with Arctic Cat, blegh, and just when I thought the rev platform was radical.... i&#39;m still hung up on my s-2000, and I love it!!

You won&#39;t need as many ponies when you have 50 less pounds to push.

On the Polaris designed rear skid, what do these swing bars you mentioned doo specifically?
I&#39;ve never heard complaints about the SC III & IV. I&#39;m curious as to how you think that those bars would be an improvement?

Curious minds want to know. :rolleyes:
