Just heard that this is the case and the reason for 800 shipping dates being bumped from original time frame of Sept 14 to what is now an unknown time frame. How about it Polaris?? You stiffing your 800 snow check customers for this reason???:confused:

The 800s did not get pushed back because of the 850 build.. Aksledjunkie has 2 SC 800s that have already arrived at the dealer.

I have 800 155x3" and 163x2.6" being unloaded as I type this....and one 850.

850's all ETA'd Nov 1st +/-

There is a 2nd batch of 800's scheduled after the 850's.

So you may have an 800 before or after an 850. Something has to be last I guess.

A whole .2" snow depth. 48 degrees at 3000ft does not equal snow at 6000ft. But then you crazy Alaskans ride from the first flake to the last puddle and then some so I can understand your frustration. Hope they come in soon.

If you are suggesting that those photos of people riding the other week are fake, you are mistaken. It got very cold the other week and a storm rolled through. There are a few spots like this around the state. Not easy to get to, but they allow riding very early and sometimes into July.

Sounds like everyone is going to get their 850 or 800 in November or earlier, so not much room for complaining anyways. My local dealer said one snowcheck 850 already shipped and the others should be coming within the next month.:face-icon-small-coo

Latest update from my dealer says ship date bumped back again (4th time) to October 5. By the way, those shots were taken late last week 7 miles or so as the crow flies from my place! :face-icon-small-hap

Yeah I did 2 800's for rentals as well as some 850's.


Next year will be all 850's.
First year wanted to try and keep the debt to a minimum if it can helped and I loved the 800.

Another ship date (5) has come and gone. Polaris rep says only 850's being built right now..... so yeah, November for an 800? Wow, my 2016 was here August 8!!!!! Oh well, expectations can be over rated I guess.
