I am shocked that EPS (Electronic Power Steering) was not expanded thru the line up or even added to the SRViper???
Don't say it doesn't need it, I got off my 2011 Apex and jumped on an 2012 Etec800 and was shocked how heavy and how much I had to work the bars...you don't notice it till u get back on a NON-EPS sled....
I know for me I will never own a sled without EPS...PERIOD
BTW...EPS was an "industry First" not a 7 year old EFIed Vector motor in the in a 3 year old ProCross chassis...Just Saying!!!

Bar effort is not the only benefit. No bar feedback through trail chop make EPS a homerun in my book. Those who say EPS is a gimmick have never put significant miles on one.

I've ridden a procross 1100Turbo...and I would have said the same-thing until I owned a sled with ESP...EPS can and will help any sled even the procross

Thank you
Everyone who tried my sled with EPS is amazed. Rush, pro cross and XP' guys have all come off shocked at how well it works.
BTW 2014 Doo's will come with EPS....(something it doesnt need )

It does not need it, I own one. Why add more electronics and weight to a sled that doesn't need it. I never felt that the PC had bad steering feedback at all.

I may have been interested in a Viper but no EPS, no sale!
I have heard it all and I have ridden other sleds with out.
EPS it worth any weight gain or cost.....

I bet doo's eps will be better aswell!! i hate to say it but this last spring i got sick of waiting on a new grizzly and nothing so i bought a 2012 can-am renegade 1000 with eps and its fully adjustable...coming off a grizzly with eps these bikes arent even close, the can-am is light years ahead in every aspect! It has 350miles on it with 29.5 outlaw2 tires from day one and not one problem at all!

Daranello, where did you hear that EPS will be included on the Doos? This is the first I've heard.
