Question:
I’m looking at buying a 2005 still brand new 800 HO Adreneline.
I’m wondering if it has the Power Tek motor in that sled? Is there much difference if it isn’t?
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for your email!
If the engine in the sled you’re looking at has a knock sensor on the cylinder head and the outside bodywork sez “Power Tek” on the lower right and left side panels – you are – in fact – looking at a Power Tek 800 Series III Rotax powered Rev.
The difference between the older Series II 800’s without P-Tek is in fuel economy. Power from both versions is pretty even – however the P-Tek engines run more consistently on warm days.
The fuel economy diff is huge – P-Teks regularly card 18 plus mpg while the non-P-teks will do 13 on a good day.
