Anyone got some more pics of the track on the 2019 RMK? I just seen this add at a dealer and it's definitely a 19 with the new front end. . Looks like they took a hint and clipped the paddles now!

That will be a sweet bonus if true!
My 16 2.6 was getting worn thin

Its weird though, all the pics from the sneak peeks that Ive seen have had the clips in the same place as previous years. I hope the production sleds actually are clipped in the lug windows.

Seems that way. . . Cuz there is a serious issue with the 16-18 way they did it. . . Fully clipping is a must. . . Wish I wouldn't have waited as long and wore mine out some first. . Wonder if the part number is gunna change for next season if a guy needs to order a new track. Seems these 800s don't have the fancy new notched out hyfaxes either.

Has anyone who were on the demo rides noticed if the track is wearing the same on the 19's?

My dealer had an early release 19 800 on the floor and the lugs were clipped. To me this makes so much more sense for wear and I would think it would have less rolling resistance. Glad they made this change

Its about time. Sure I will lose some sales of clips but that is just fine.

WOW, the AXYS is finally snowmobiler approved! Will you be jumping ship to Poo now?

Let's not talk about the 2008 cheese grader.

I hope its not a case of using up the old tracks first. That would be cheesy.

The 2 2019 800's sitting on the floor at our local dealer were both lug clipped.

Same track part numbers on 2016-18 and 2019 sleds in the 2.6" and 3" lengths for the 155 and 163" lengths.

But, as we've seen before... there could be a running change in how Polaris has Camso clip the tracks.

Hey guys, the 2019 production model RMKs will have the clips at the lugs. It will be important to use your scratchers when not in fresh snow to prevent heat transfer to the lugs. Also, I was told the SKS sleds will be fully clipped.
