I see now there is a GOLDEN TICKET BOUNS for those with them that if we use it this year we GET another $1000 off a 17 too! then it starts to decline..500 for 18...ect. What are you guys going to do, I was going to wait till 17 but now that we could do it twice? I only have 300 miles on my 15 with this lame winter we have had in Central MT soo....I would most likely take a big hit on it? What's everyone's train of thought.

I'm a Polaris guy and have been for years but I'll be waiting a year for the 17.

I'm sure the new Axys will be fine but...........new motor, new track, new tunnel, etc.......Don't feel like being a Guinea pig for Polaris. Just look at the past record, 11's were okay (with issues) but the 12's were better. 13's with the new belt drive and new a-arms were okay (with issues) but the 14's and 15's were better. Go back further and it' s the same story. Again, I'm sure they will be great but my thoughts......Give them a year and let them work out the "little" things and then I'm in!!!

It really sucks that polaris is requiring us to buy a pro or assault with the ticket. There are those of us that go to the mountains 2-3 times a year and want to do a leasure trail ride with the wife and kids. I bought the RMK LE for a reason, the front cooler. Why does polaris force us to buy something that we did not buy in 2015 with the ticket? I sold my 2012 RMK for a great price that I could not turn down. Now I'm ready to replace that sled for my wife with a new 2016.

What is the best thing to do with a Pro for cooling? 2 sets of scatchers and a set of ski z's? What are people doing for low snow conditions on these pro's?

I know Indy 500 knows what I'm talking about. Any suggestions without re-engineering a pro just because of a ticket?

From what I've found the SKS is the only Axys sled to offer the front bulkhead cooler. I would check with your favorite dealer to see if it qualifies.

I'm pretty sure the sks qualifies for golden ticket. At least that's what i understood going through the Q&A Facebook thing.

Give it some time, I bet we will be able to use our golden ticket on more models? I have way too many questions to be answered before I think about getting my golden ticket out of my picture frame I like the SKS, but not sure if the price is correct? If so that is awfully expensive for my taste.

Gold Ticket a sham

How are guys figuring that they are getting a $1000 dollars off when they snowcheck with the gold ticket. You are paying $16000 with GST for a PRO 155 which is way more then my $12000 I payed for my 2013 pro 155 so you are actually giving Polaris a extra $1000 so that they can hold you into buying a new sled every year. What a scam.

My 2015 was built exactly how I always wanted an RMK and my current golden ticket is good for 2017 so I will wait. Looking forward to seeing everyone with the new sleds and how the hold up.

Both the Axys build volume from poo, and discounts a year from now on holdover 2016's, will be interesting to watch. I'm guessing they don't want to overbuild, but will be tempted. If this was a banner snow year in the west this year it would be easier - build lots of them. If next year is big on snow with little holdover, poo will be kicking themselves that they didn't build more. Ah, the life and times of being an OEM...

I have never had cooling problems with my 12 pro. Even marginal snow conditions on the trail early this winter in North MN. Scratchers down, 125F - 129F all day long. The highest temps I ever saw was putzing through the trees with set up snow in Wyoming but even then all I needed to do was burp the throttle every so often to kick some snow on the cooler. I actually think this sled runs cooler than my 09D8.
