2022 Mach Z

If your tuned you won't need the Anti Lag you should be able to handle the Z very easily. I was going to tune mine this summer but I think now I'm going to leave it alone and see what the outcome will be. I've done a little clutch work and mine seems to run pretty strong 650 miles on it now should be starting to break in by now.

Depends on what conditions and length of race. I mean if you aren’t set up for ice, stay away from Hole shots on Ice.

Just let me say. With a 270 hp mild tune, that has a 2650 clutch engagement, I would certainly let you get the jump on a trail ride/race, and you would see a Big power difference in not much time. MILD Tune!

My 998 was still breaking in last year with 5500 miles on it. Gained 200-300 rpms changing nothing! I feel like it has gained even more this season with 7-8k. Strong motors!

Not taking sides here at all, as I know the 998 is the stronger motor.....

But you are right. BRP has been testing a higher tuned version of their 900t since at least 2019s were released, if not abit longer. And you can bet BRP's test mule was a 998 for certain, and likely an SRX. Their iTC is so touchy, it has ZERO lag, it just snaps. My biggest complaint of my stock Winder was the very docile feel down at bottom, no snap at all. I had a few losses next to 850s and even an Assault when she was bone stock. Its also felt heavy due to the poor snap down low. When Dave came out with Quick spool tunes, that was what turned my Winder into a true animal.

Stock for Stock, IMO it will be close on top speed, SRX has 1" track which makes great MPH on ice, the Mach has rip2 1.25" which is a great track, but should have been a 1" if it wants to run top speeds like a SRX. We think the Mach has 27/45 gearing for 119MPH in theory. SRX we know has more gear.


The 900r down low should have some serious jam. Will be interesting to see the two face off, if you can actually find a BONE STOCK Winder....that may prove to be very difficult. lol

It will be close for sure, one thing also to be on the sly, we have not heard from Polaris and they have been very very quite, there maybe another sled to line up for the title.
 
I find it comical how some magazine guys are acting like anti-lag has just been invented. Yes, it is a first on a production sled, but it has been around for a long time. The mighty 1100 Suzuki I think was one of the first to see lots of use for this feature.

Pretty sure it will be cracked. Shocks have separate ecu like iqs. Shame cat decided to use their own. Fox has much better system than iqs.

Ya not sure... Lots of smarts tuners on DOOtalk said it has not been cracked as of yet, where they have been used on side by sides.

I don't think Ski Doo for one minute is putting out this new Mach Z to lose on the lake, stock Mach vs stock Winder, they did their homework, you can count on it! this new Mach Z is purpose built to run against the stock 998 turbo Winder/thunder Cat, the guy's that ride for BRP have been asking for it and Doo answered their call, Winder guy's should not be blowing your own horns just yet!!

It’s a limited spring check for one year. Ski doo still has no balls !!
