Again, I was expecting (perhaps wrongly) a complete redesign. The first eleven pages of this thread are loaded with hopes and predictions.
Much of this stated by Sledheader, but some clarification:
For starters, still raw aluminum everything. One of the biggest bitches is the amount of snow the Pro holds. More of the same, even more with raw aluminum a-arms. Still hoping for a special snow check with painted/anodized parts - but why is polaris still behind on this?
39" front end. I'd be nice to have a 36" factory option. Undoubtedly a popular modification.
2.7" track. How about a 3" option? Maybe on the snow check or available on the 163"? Let's hope they are still making a 163".
No tunnel reinforcements and weak azz bumpers. Once again plan spending $600+ on proper bumpers that can take a hit without caving and tunnel reinforcements around the bulkhead and behind the running boards.
Am I going to snow check a '16? Probably. Is this a game changing sled? I guess time will tell.
I guess you can't please everyone........who says the 36" stance is better? I haven't met anyone?
What manufacturer has a better stock bumper setup? Haven't seen one?
Is the 3" the be all end all? I see the XM's chewing pretty good, but only straight uphill.
Powder coating should be standard, but I guess there will be a price difference between a standard pro-something or other.
I haven't seen this sled in the flesh but do we know that the footwell area is still weak? Yes there should be more reinforcement above the rear skid mounts, though it looks like some work has been done there.
Yawn???? This sled has addressed everything we have asked for....ok minus the belt drive....
If anyone is looking for me on days off, I will be selling my body cheap on the streets of revy
holding a sign that reads.....need snowcheck dollas
