Axys delivery dates

Sleds are built to minimize the cost of line changes with the parts available from vendors at the time. Destination is a non-factor in the model mix - different models are stored until a full truck to an area is ready. With the drop in sled volumes sold the past 15 years, much easier to get sleds out earlier than it used to be, provided the vendors deliver their parts.

It would make more sense to batch build by content, than to build by destination regardless of content.

I agree, but whether there's much truth to it or not, every year the western states get their sleds first and they work their way across the states. Reg2view's post about storing them by content and shipping by destination makes more sense.

OEMs do schedule pow sleds builds earlier whenever they can since they do get ridden earlier, and the western rental fleets need them since they are revenue producing. Parts availability and final calibration drive build schedule. Poo more than cat or doo, since they have the largest rental fleet customers now. That's what you're seeing.

There have been years when limited builds were actually last due to parts availability or late calibrations. The IQ/Fusions have been victims before. 2002 M1 cats were late - like January - motors from Japan were stuck in customs after 911. FWIW.

As bad as I want to see mine, I don't mind if it comes a little later (163x2.6 all black). I won't ride it for quite awhile still and leaves the money in my pocket longer.

2008 skidoo xp scales will work because they both will weigh the same.:face-icon-small-coo

Prayn4snow · Jul 25, 2015

Mine is the same red and black but 155 2.6". I'm in no hurry, because when ever I get my snowcheck sleds early it costs me way more money because I have more time to buy aftermarket stuff that I convince myself I need or I can't ride like Chris....I still can't ride as well as him lol. Maybe I'll fill all the tubing with helium to lighten it up even more. The then the new word everyone will have to learn this year will be Flickabler-er

thats because you can buy a nice house on 1 acre cheaper than 4 new sleds for the family to ride.LOL.

geo · Jul 26, 2015

Since your in the biz now Jay, you need to hang the pdi'd sled on a scale.

Time to find out if anything but the unpainted basic 155 can be sub 400 cheaply.

Washington State dealer received a few non snow checked Axys Pros last week. I checked up on my snow check and it says a ship date of 08-28-2015

szotty · Jul 27, 2015

I'm just wondering how far the sks will be behind the axys pro on the assembly line cus the differences

RMK935VA · Jul 27, 2015

I saw a 2016 Axys Pro at Carl's on Friday. It was not a SnowCheck sled. Fit and finish was very good.
