I rode my buddys 16 LE all day today in great conditions. I have had nothing but problems with my Axys lately and it is a bit of a repeat with Polaris not standing behind the pile of JUNK they sold me, just like my '14.
It is over between us. I need a sled that I can ride a second year if I need to, the Poo aint it. The Cat ripped all day, outclimbed everything in the group (Ski Doos).
It will not sidehill like the Pro, no way no how. Otherwise it is better at most everything else and should be much more durable. I am not buying an '18, seen to many get burned by first year issues. My Polaris has them, the 850 Doo has them and I do not need to be an experiment for Cat either. I will find a nice '17 MC, ride it 2 years and buy a '19.
They say the '17 is better than the '16, which is good, and the '18 is much better yet. Looks like the sled to beat next year.
