It is an 800Etec X it was a wrap. The sled went back to Skidoo I had problems with it last year that they could not rectify so they ordered me 2012 to replace it. I absolutely loved the sled until the problems started. To say I am looking forward to this season is an understatement. We do a few poker runs and fun runs throughout the seaon so I will keep you guys in the loop!

im on the fence on the xp still. i love my rev, ive ridden the xp a few times and like it but i love my rev. prob because im so used to it. i have my rev running faster then 99% of the xp's on the lake, and i have it pretty light for trails. i keep going back and forth. i was going to do it last year but instead did my rev all over. new motor, shocks, track, bearings, etc etc etc so its pretty much new. i spent all the money i was going to spend on a new one and made my rev new. lol

On the REV vs. XP thing...
I have a lot of miles on both. The REV is definitely built stronger, hence the heavier weight. If you hit a decent hole and bottom anything out, you will feel the shock travel up through your body on the XP. That never happens on the REV.
That's about it as far as advantages for the REV over the XP in my eyes. The light weight, handling, and most importantly the extra leg room are the reason my REV will be up for sale I the fall and replaced with something else(maybe a slightly used 800 X).
