Oh No, snowmobiler will not like this..
Oh No, snowmobiler will not like this..
This should be fun to watch... keep it civil please people. (Gawd, I hate mud-sling campaigns and I BLEED Polaris).
But, to be fair...
I also noticed that they are comparing the PRO (premium model) of the Polaris to the base model of the XM??... and only have 5 comparison "points".
Isn't the Assault the RMSHA sled that Curtis and the others on the "factory" teams run? (not the QD equipped PRO-RMK)??
No doubt the PRO RMK is an awesome machine... but there IS NO denying that the XM Doo is amazing as well!!!
Ride what you got... and enjoy it!!!!

We all know there is no place for truth in advertising. :face-icon-small-win besides I think most people can look at the comparisons and see them for what they are.
Polaris definitely has the best, most aggressive --- advertising agency of the big three!!! Ha! Ha! :face-icon-small-hap
This ought to stir a few folks up! Have you seen the '417 reasons to buy a Pro' post in (I think) the Mountain/Deep Powder section? There's a few hundred digs on Polaris in there! Oh, and I bleed Polaris too! Love my sleds, all 9 of them!!
Not sure this ad will change anybody's opinion.
I do get a kick out of the brand bashing boyz and sallies.
It's about the dude/dudette behind the bars. Knowing how to setup, maintain, a sled for you and your chosen conditions also helps. After that, it's just locker room jack. And the OEM marketeers who promote this jack aren't gonna impress you behind the bars, either. Shut up and ride.

by price point the sp summit is closer to the pro rmk, the x model is couple thousand more.
The Pro is a great sled but I believe 4 of the things they talk about on there are extreme weakness of the Pro. Lightweight running boards?? Most people I know have to stiffen them up. Premium shocks??? Premium compared to what. Not many people I know of love the Walker Evans. Lightweight drive system?? The same drive system that was having belt problems all last year. Bonded technology?? Really the great bond made them have to put a collar to keep the drive shaft from snapping.
Pro is a great sled that is pushing other manufacturers to keep up but come up with some actual strong points of the Pro.

That ad is about as informative as AC's video about weights of the sleds with snow on them. Absolutely no bias involved......lol

Surely the most flickable advertisement I have seen:crazy:
MSRP's 2014 (USA)
Summit 800-X Etec X 154" -> $12,499
Pro RMK 800 155" -> $12,299
Summit 800-SP Etec 154" -> $11,649
RMK 800 155" -> $11,399

YES! this means I will be the best rider on the snow. I am psycic I knew I would be buying the best sled on earth. SAAAAWEEET. Let it snow so I can start whoooping up on all of you one by one. LOL
I am not a brand loyalist (as long as it's a Poo or a Doo) and own both. I've always felt that Doo has done a better job of marketing but it's interesting to see Polaris come out swinging like that.

Then again, which brand has won the last two Iron Dog races? Ski-Doo. As said before, the best sled out there should be the one you're riding. 550iq
BIG PROMISES NO CHAMPIONSHIPS !

I love my PRO, but I would also trade my bonded A-arms for real quality A-arms, where the special glue can't fail on me.
This add kind of reminds me of the Yamaha add in the latest snowest. It claims a higher percentage of Yamahas made it over Jackson than any other brand last year which shows they are the best. Well when you only have 4 sleds there it still isn't very impressive. Not to mention none of them were stock. Marketing tries to spin even a complete failure into a positive.
