Then why oh why didn't polaris put it on the 144 switchback? I off trail ride in the u.p. of michigan. Also do trail riding. The 155 is just a little to long for me. But luv to have the best polaris has to offer. Does anyone know if rmk have the tipped up rails?

X2.... you would think that as an assault, being an "Ultra" package or whatever it would have the best of the best... like the new spindles, jackshaft, brake, and coil over rear skid...... and its kinda hard to justify getting the switchback because it costs more than the RMK Pro 155.... and has older heavier parts... seems backwards to me.
So I just wondered if there is an advantage of torsion spring over coil spring suspension... good info brought up so far, but do torsion spring suspensions take more of a beating than coil over? if not, why wouldn't snowcross racers use coil over since its so highly adjustable??
All M-10 are coupled. Gerard Karpik invented the coupled rear skid!the reason is being that the switchback assault is just a name.....look at a pic of it beside the rmk assault....the nose is alot higher on the rmk being that the suspension is stiffer on the rmk assault over the switchback assault, im guessing they are the same front shocks as on the pro-r. Its not as beefy as the old assault its just a damn name to sell it. They should have called it a PRO-S or PRO-SKS.
if you dont think so i had a stock 08 rmk nose to nose with my 08 rmk with 09 walker evans on it and in the trailer my bumper was almost 4 inches higher than the stock one. the shocks are the same length just the W/Es are stiffer.
The other reason that snow cross sleds have torsions is probably cause they have coupled rear suspension...the only non 121 to date is the m-10 and m-12
RMK rails are straight. NOT tipped up.

I'm still undecided on the pro-rmk or switchback. pro-rmk 11,500 switchback 12,000. Pro-rmk have new rear suspension all lightweight parts. switchback same rear skid since 2002 edge...heavy! Plz help me choose! I ride in the u.p. and trail ride 50% time.
I am so on the fence about this. The things that are wrong with the Pro RMK can not be fixed easily. No tracks available in that length with a shorter lug and I really don't want to cut the stock one down. The Switchback will require new a-arms and shocks, gripper ski's and something done to the running boards.
I've been banging my head over this for weeks. I know many on here who live in mountain towns don't believe flatlanders can ride deep snow but parts of the U.P. see over 200 inches of snow every winter. We travel when the snow flies and I have used my 2" x 144 track on my RMK to it's fullest many times.
Just don't know......
