2015 800 RMK Pro 163 - Feedback Requested

You posted this in the Axys part of the Polaris section and not the Pro section so I'm sure you'll catch heat from someone about that.

Thats a decent price, but Peninsula Powersports in soldotna has 2017 Axys 800's for sale right now for $9800 and change. Likely a more dependable motor than the 2015 800.

If you plan on riding 2 up for snowboarding I would stray away from the sleds with quick-drive belts and get one with a chain case.

Either sled is going to be light years ahead of your old Doo.

Yes, defiantly get a 16 or newer as the mountain sleds 16 and newer have the axys motor and that motor (so far) seems the be much better, if at least for the simple reason that they use a ecu/cable controllers exhaust valve system like the rest of the two stroke world.

The trail sleds in 15 had the axys motor (ie rush)

If you know you’ll be only on trail and never off then the rush style would be more for you.

If you’ll be spending time on/off trail then you should really have a sled with the front heat exchanger like a sks or switchback in a 144 or 155 track length

A straight up mountain sled as you have posted. Is exactly that. Needs to be in light fluffy snow or you risk overheat (unless you put scratchers down and gauge watch)

I personally think the 15 pro is a solid choice. The cooling system issues can be a problem. I agree with everyone else in the fact that the Axys chassis has a better engine. IMO the pro chassis is a little easier for an inexperienced rider to handle.
