One thing I love about my 14 is the adjustable post. Wish they could have just improved on the current design

THE NEW M.............

Thats because most of the time its a paper race. Guys say it over and over "the average rider, abd probably most pro riders, cannot ride the potential of these sleds in their stock form. There is no loosing when it comes to any brand.
Too bad the snopro models are so friggen ugly though
Skis look good but they really should have added some tread. They look as dangerous to walk on as my Powderpros.Team primary and secondary clutch
New ski compared to old ski, wider
The one other thing is the 3" track option in 153 and 162. I am very happy with the changes. There are more than I expected. With the changes I am guessing about a 8-10lb weight loss as well. They haven't disclosed the weight loss yet, but will tomorrow in the tech sessions.
If you haven't riden a proclimb with a 35" front end it is awesome. Made a 35" for my M7000 MPI turbo and 925 RKT M8000, totally changes how good the sled already is, way big improvement.
Cat will have 2016 models to the dealers for demo rides in the up coming weeks.

New front end looks great! Lost a few lbs between the front end and losing the adjustable post. Better clutching, rear skid mounts added an inch better angle on the front of the rails, 3 inch option and 141 option

Ok ill take down this trolling post haha.
team clutches are a win, new rail designs a win, new front ends a win.
best m yet.
i would say if cat drops a new 800 and maybe not a new chassis but some boards and body tweeks everyone will be happy.
really axed the crossover line up, no cross country, must not have sold well.

141 option is great. Lots of midwest guys want the narrower stance like on a mountain sled rather than a crossover.

I hope the new team lasts longer that the 500 miles my team did. And all the comments about pol being better , it isnt. As a matter of fact all they are is lighter. But I think 16 is going to be a eye opener.

My 14 doesn't trench, I go everywhere polaris goes on the same day in the same terrain in the same conditions there are different benefits and drawbacks to skid mounting location. Its called research and development. Get your head out of your ***:bowl:
oh oh....another bitter Polaris owner.....lol :eyebrows:
I used to think the same way.....I've had the adjustable post on 3 models now and I never change it....so I won't miss it
That new lower post with fixed riser will be a huge benefit for those exiting through the bars. If you ate the bars on the old one there was no give.big plus in my book.

Yeah his Poo must be at the dealer getting the new motor installed. At least Polaris offers a good warranty. Too bad you miss all the ride time while it's down tho...
--Engines are Cat in-house design...Suzuki is contract builder...been a really good descision btw
--Dont care about ctec 800 -- Suzuki runs great
--Yamaha apparently recognizes quality, handling, and durability of M chassis and chose it for its superior 4s engine --does poo even have a 4s...could the chassis even handle it... why didnt Yamaha choose the pro chassis with the belt drive, foil tunnel, and crap suspension?
--Cat now installs industry leading clutches...so what... I'll take it
--Ram runs Cummins engine and Aisin Seiko transmission -- I'll take that too:face-icon-small-hap
Made the seat longer for storage (A spot to put a strap for pulling the Poo's back to the lot) :face-icon-small-ton
Be nice if they gave all 15 and prior model owners the new clutches since now they admitted there clutches suck on the past models..
Exactly, only better on paper. after my ride yesterday with the couple 163 pros('14 and a '15 TD) a couple of my riding buddies who were there and have never rode with pros before were saying they weren't impressed and didn't know what all the hype was about and these guys ride an m7 and an '06 rev. The poolaid flows deep around here with people that are trying to be like the cool kids. I'd bet money that if the majority of the people on here started buying another brand, even if it was Yamaha, most the poolaid drinkin sheeple would follow suit and start bleeding blue just to fit in.
they only went to team clutches on the M series.....high RPM's, low speeds generate heat...the Cat clutches are still on all the other models...
