I love lightweight but I've seen enough axys with problems this year that I won't be buying one. I was going to buy one not now. I've seen my buddies miss 3' pow days because of bogging issues. So your statement of them being light years ahead is 100% false. They were ahead a little in the deep powder capability when they run right but that's it. Durability is more important than light weight especially when the difference in rtr weight is only 20lbs. 174 t3 vs axys 163x3". This new chassis, engine and clutch combo will have poo and cat worried. As soon as poo can figure out how to build a sled that can go 2000 miles with only maintainance then I'll be looking at them again. When I ask the poo guys I ride with how long they've gotten an engine to last they always say " we don't care. We get new ones every year so we don't have to worry about the engine blowing up". Lol. That isn't something I have the luxury of doing so I have to buy something that will last. I've got 2600 miles on my sled and haven't done anything but maintained it. Gotta love Doo.
You are only supposed to put you wooden spoon so far in Loudhandle, You are molesting the him.
I got 3700 miles on my 13 and 900 on my 16 axys , i have had not one down day or bad running day or even a missed day. so for you to pick out he 2 or 3 axys you know , and out of the what 30 or 40 thousands sleds sold by poo from 11-16 (you know the ****ty years), and condemn polaris cause the cant build a good sled is very near sighted plus closed minded. if i follow your train of thought, ski doo cant build a sled then either. with the 3 i ride with all 3 have been in for warranty work before the 100 mile mark, but would i own one, hell yes, skidoo can build a damn good sled, can a skidoo go places i shouldnt , most very, am i thinking about a 17 skidoo, maybe, but im not against new technology like so many are when poo does it but love it when skidoo does it. i suppose klim ,timber sled and 509 now magically cant build good stuff either
Some of you guys are going a little too far. I know this is the doo section but come on. There are xm's with broken rods. The two trips with problems have been xm's.
Poo isn't going to be scared. They are going one direction and doo another. Neither are wrong. It's just a matter what you want. The doo will have a better motor and Polaris will go skinny and lightweight. The Polaris is still going to work better in the steep sidehills and really deep powder. They aren't near as skinny as the axys. Hopefully they got rid of the death wobble because I am going to get one for my wife. I wanted more changes until someone told me they didn't want it if it wasn't still a doo. That is a really good point. That's the great thing about choices.
Now there's a rumor that Polaris and Bomby have some sort of product share agreement that COULD....
...put an etec in the Polaris chassis.
Also something to do with the RZR and Can-Am engines.
So out of the 4 axys that I ride with all for have bogging issues. Let's see. That 100%. Maybe they all bought monday sleds but I've watched videos of Keith Curtis and I hear the same bogg in some of his videos. Don't get all twisted up because poo can't seem to get their engines figured out 100%. Obviously they run good most of the time but it's dam frustrating when we have 6-7 days of bluebird pow and on 3 of those days instead of riding we are waiting on the poos while they are pulled apart tinkering, trying to figure out why they won't run. I didn't say Doo was perfect. But I've never had to miss a day of riding because of engine issues. And I've never ridden with anyone on a Doo that has had to miss ridding days because of engine issues. Clutches and s mods are another story. But I was specifically referring to engines here. And I was replying to someone saying the axys is light years ahead. No they're not. Each year they take turns. I'm glad to see Doo going to a mountain specific chassis. It's about time!! Not that the t3 is bad though.
Bottom line...pick your poison. I like mine in yellow. Lol
There are two Xms in the group I ride with one is a 13 on its third engine with 3500 miles and the other a 15 with 1000 miles and a sized pro crank bearing 100 percent failure rate with your logic guess we should all sell and buy Yamaha...

...but frequently not well..:face-icon-small-disNot drunk, just opinionated.
I hope more people buy skidoo.(or cat) All i see in the parking lot in mccall are pros or axys you have to wrap it to know which one is yours!

Yeah not a single Polaris in Revelstoke. Rumour is the snow is too deep for a 15" wide track.
