20k for a throttle cable. The 900s should have always had a cable. At least until they figured out the drive by wire.
One is not higher end. It's all BRP, Ski-Doo is Canada/North America made, Lynx is Finland/Scandinavia made.
Thankfully when I buy toys mpg, and the price tag the last things I look at when making a decision. All sleds expensive. My Matryx's msrp were over 18k. Then new mach z will be 22k in Canada. Yes I know thats $4000 more...and it's significant. But life's short and you can't take it with you.
same same but different
I woudnt say one is higher end than the other, but Lynx places emphasis on different things than Doo. So they've had their own suspensions all the time. Often heavier / more heavy duty to better cope with our ungroomed trails etc. I don't disagree. I'm sick in the head and the marketing just puts a bug up my ass. In the brain I'm 30 years older than my actual age and need to calm down. Honestly the throttle cable is worth $4000 alone because for me the 900T is un rideable with the throttle by wire. The Mach looks like a comprehensive package that will make people happy. I also bet it will outperform 180hp on the dyno in the fall.
They have their ownsame same but different
But for reliability , I think I'd give the nod to Doo over Lynx..
IMO , lynx also pioneered the growing "SUV" segment - widetrack sleds that actually rides and handles good instead of like the lumber wagons of the past, lol!.
Here in town, I'm sure the Lynx commander (+ Doo expeditions) 1200 and now 900T sleds are topping the sales charts

A very important detail with the pps is that it is progressive with the shock AND the spring. As the spring and shock are taking the same ride. It's a lot like the polaris hay bailer in the rear. Extremely similar in concept but the pps is inside the tunnel.
When the club yells at you, just bring the add. They'll forgive. A few years ago I was riding a little hot. I pulled out my add and told them I was doing total terrain domination like the add said. The cops let me go. Back in the mid 2000's I was sad. My wife caught me trying a noose to my FTS. I showed her the snow flap that said, "polaris, the way out." She instantly understood. These adds are the real deal black letter law!
The Ski Doo is Canada made.
they better release lots of reviews before spring order deadline. I’m waiting to figure out where to put my $500
Guys will sit there and nit pick and complain about the Mach but I guarantee they will sell. I have friends that almost never go off trail and just like power and to be the big dog. This thing will have a nice ride with that suspension, gonna need studs for sure to get it to hook up.
I think the last "real" lynx shorty with their own chassis was the G-Type in 2000. In 2001 the went to seriesIII engines + sleds based on the doo zx chassis.
