Ehh, you really don't lose much, if any power with carburetors if you jet it right. You will be down a little if you just jet for the coldest and lowest elevation it'll ever see; not having to change anything to get peak power is the biggest advantage of EFI to my mind. Fuel economy is a little lower, but then you can run cheap oil and gas without too many worries. My old sled (carbs) runs fine and gives me no more trouble than the "new" one. Carbs make sense for what the EVO is. From the beginning, the EVO has been milquetoast, but it's enough for most kids starting off. I kinda wish they'd make budget 600, liquid cooled, carbs and reeds, but non-VES, for around 90HP. It probably wouldn't sell enough to be worth the effort though.
I thought the same I bought a 23 evo rmk for my 9 year old and it is awesome switch thumb throttle to the rmk version for full engine power put chris burandt boards, and led bulbs on it left speed governor on for now. He loves it
I bought a 23 Evo RMK for my 9 yr old daughter and put Axys take-off shocks front and rear and dropped rear skid to get it up to same as Pro height off snow. We don't have much for groomed high speed trails so snow clearance is priority. She loves it although it is a big change from her 200 from last year and she is more bagged from riding at the end of the day. She adamantly won't go back though. This sled will be good for a few years for her. Have all the other upgrade parts ready for when she is.
I’m not going to argue against the concept of a sled a kid can grow into. I just sold a highly modified Evo trading up to a 650 Khaos.
I’m confused by and annoyed with Polaris keeping the pro chassis alive (mostly due to carbs) and killing the axys.
An Evo based on the axys 600 would have been a much better sled and I wouldn’t have replaced it.
My $0.02
