Even their sub-brand Lynx '22 introduction video is more professional than Polaris and AC (and probably Yam's). lol

Not sure I get all the excitement with the Lynx. It's basically a Skidoo that wheelies a lot? Kinda goofy looking in the front end also like the Skidoo.
In addition, aren't they owned by BRP? If so, that isn't going to create any more competition as far as pricing goes.

Lynx is a premium suspended brand from BRP...basically for certain type of rider where XRS is not enough.
I would be all over the Lynx turbo. Uncoupled with bottomless skid would be a blast IMO.

Premium only in price in NA cause they have to ship them here from Finland. Over there its all they get no BRP brand so "regular" sled prices.

No, Lynx is a premium SUSPENSION. And why they cost more compared to most other brands.
Not that everyone needs it, but it brings another choice for those who want more suspension.

Lets agree to disagree. Its made for boon-dockers since very few trails over there. Uncouple suspension with big shocks doesn't sound premium for most trail riders?
To me its like saying a mountain sled is a premium sled because of the longer track etc...

Kinda weird for a bottomless suspension to slam thru its travel and bottom out in that turbo video you posted Dan. You can see it bottom right out from that small little jump. Surprised they even used that footage. Very clear to see. I had to watch it twice to be certain and its pretty clear.

I think Luke gives a fair review here. This coming from an ex-snowcrosss racer which is why he is exited about this sled.

Lynx is born in the racing and crosscuntry since 1980. They are little heavier than Ski-doo but mutch stronger build. Tunnel and skid are different and developed for hard condition on bumpy trails. But like every manufactor else they follow the trend and adapt sleds and ridingstyle to deep-snow.
If you have uppertunity, test the RavE..

So are they considered premium in Sweden compared to your Sidewinder or just better suited for what they're made for?

Go and read all the reviews and watch the vids....just about everyone uses the term bottomless on these skids. The guys I know who demo'd them feel same.Kinda weird for a bottomless suspension to slam thru its travel and bottom out in that turbo video you posted Dan.

Maybe the 4s version with more weight bottoms? But it certainly is in a whole nother league then current 4s sleds sold here today. Nice to see more choices.
