Good eye!

Thought it was goin to be more of a game changer myself. Maybe there's more coming. I was seriously thinking of jumping ship but prob not now. Polaris still dosent understand that raw aluminum tunnel an running boards suck big time an jus hold ice an snow!

I really like this sled. I might sell my '14 PC for one. Just too good to pass up. However, I agree that I wish they didn't leave the tunnel raw aluminum.

No outside idler wheels and just inner ones on the front shock.

xc6rider · Jan 30, 2015

Their may be those options with snowcheck...

voodoo · Jan 30, 2015

Surprised they didn't go for 399#. The Rush sleds lost 35# which was mostly in the heavy articulating rear suspension but to only lose 4# seems odd.

SkiDooHoser · Jan 30, 2015

If that track works and the motor holds up that's going to be a pretty cool ride.

ps700 · Jan 30, 2015

Doesn't seen to be as far forward as the trail sled? Handle bars still look really far back...

Everyone has different snow, different riding styles and preferences but I've never had major issue with snow buildup on the tunnel. Sure it hangs up a little but not a big deal. Maybe the snow I ride is the reason? I dunno. :noidea:

mountainhorse · Jan 30, 2015

Have a look at the 2015's with the coated tunnel and boards... No issues there!!

Expect some more models and options!!

Wait until you ride this. If you can get on one this spring or winter while there is still powder, you should.

Get it in the trees and on a sidehill.

And then get back on your current sled and do the same lines.

You'll be a believer.

Not hating at all. Maybe too high of expectations I had. I'm sure all the other models that come out won't all be raw aluminum.

nytro41 · Jan 30, 2015

i dont like polaris but with that being said. the only reason the other sleds kept up with the pro was because under tracked and under powered. now with the new track and some more power and a little lighter. im worried my PC will need a turbo. haha. nice job polaris. way to keep king of mountains.....on top.

417 vs 408

9lbs

2.5 in the crank
1.5 in the skid
1.5 in the a arms
1 in the lights
rest is elsewhere

also sounds like the track is lighter and has bigger lug

I THINK I heard Dan Adams state that the can was 22 pounds.
So, if you put a 6 pound can on there...

DEFINATELY SUB 395lbs.

It's out!! Polaris has released the 2016 on their website!!
