NEW Patented Raised AXYS® RMK® Chassis
The AXYS® RMK® features a patented, raised chassis that increases clearance and reduces drag to keep you on top of the snow. This new chassis, purpose built for mountain riding, allows for improved sidehilling, faster and easier climbing, and instantaneous lift allowing the sled to pop onto the snow faster. The carbon fiber overstructure offers reduced weight without compromising strength. New, taller spindles for 2016 increases clearance to reduce drag.
NEW Rear Suspension
The new lightweight, rigid rear suspension design features revised geometry to control pitch. This improves weight transfer, delivering better control and a more compliant ride. The rigid suspension delivers power directly to the snow. Off-trail, riders will notice improved weight transfer while maintaining the approach angle. On-Trail, riders will notice a more compliant and comfortable ride. The rear suspension features a new durable, lightweight rail design that helps lift the rear skid while driving it forward.
800 H.O. Engine
Developed in conjunction with the AXYS® platform, the proven 800 Cleanfire® H.O. Engine delivers increased power and quicker throttle response to generate instantaneous lift. The integrated mounting position optimizes the balance of the chassis.
Featuring:
- 3-stage electronically-controlled exhaust valves for increased power and responsiveness
Electronic oil pump for reduced throttle effort and improved durability
- Thermostat with bypass warms up to operating temperature 40% faster and improves durability
- High-efficiency intake and exhaust for improved breathability which increases power
- Exclusive VForce Reeds for more power and improved reed life
- Lightweight crankshaft that’s 2.5 lbs lighter and 25% less inertia
- Grooved piston for improved durability and engine life
This is the same 800 H.O. engine released with great success in the 2015 Polaris® Rush® and Switchback® models, and has been proven through 100,000+ field testing miles
3-Stage Electronically-Controlled Exhaust Valves
3-stage electronically-controlled exhaust valves provide improved running quality, crisper throttle response, smoother idle and improved fuel economy. The active feedback for the exhaust valve position provides more accurate fueling in transient situations. These exhaust valves also improve combustion stability, leading to improved durability and engine life.
High-Efficiency Intake and Exhaust
New porous intake duct material and high-flow exhaust system create a better breathing engine package for more power. An all-new silencer provides reduced sound levels. Vforce reeds provide improved performance, throttle response and reed durability.
Vforce Reeds
Provide improved performance, throttle response, and reed durability
Lightweight Crank Shaft
The lightweight crankshaft is 2.5 lbs lighter and generates 25% less inertia, for quicker-revving power to pop the sled on top of the snow even quicker.
800 H.O. Engine Grooved Piston
New grooved piston was designed specifically for the new 800 H.O. Cleanfire® Engine to increase durability and engine life.
Series 6 2.6" Track
The all-new Polaris® exclusive Series 6 2.6" track provides the ultimate all mountain performance. The new lightweight track is designed for improved deep snow and hard pack traction and better lift.
QuickDrive™ Low Inertia Drive System
The QuickDrive™ Low Inertia System is designed to make the sled rev quicker for instantaneous lift and reduces rotational inertia by 21% for easier handling and flickability. Not simply a belt-drive, it is a complete lightweight drive system — featuring an extruded drive shaft, lightweight brake, RMK-specific brake caliper and of course the most visible piece of the system — a maintenance-free belt drive that requires no oil or tensioner system. The complete system reduces rotational inertia by 21% which means 5lb. less effort when carving.
Walker Evans® Monotube Shocks
The new Walker Evans® Monotube Impact-Extruded Shocks are the lightest weight shock option from Polaris for those riders counting ounces. The one-piece, simple design is lightweight yet durable.
