23 vs 24 9r Pro 165

[Ultrasauras]

Is there any difference between the 2 model years beside the track options and the rail profiles? There is some good deals on the 2023 right now with 2 year warranty.

Thanks

Having owned a 23 and 24 9R I noticed no material differences in performance.

I would rather have a 2023 you won’t have to fix the rails with no end caps that are on the 24

There is a service bulletin out poo will do it for free

just got a 24' and they had me holdoff pickup for a few days to install the caps. they ordered 250 to start the year can only imagine how many more they will order.

im sure most dealers have caps in stock. probably have already updated their 24' stock with the caps

Wish poo would give me credit for the ice age rail tip kit I installed last January... but no, my dealer said weren't having any problems.

My 23 9R has been great. Not sure there is much to fix but the upgrade to the 3.25” track from the 2.75” is a meaningful performance jump

JH@CM you possibly saved yourself some down time and head ache in the end

Yah, I am torn on this. The 2.75 track is an absolute weapon in tech for an N/A. Instant track speed. Incredible for making those moves.

Yep. Smarter not harder. It was an obvious deficiency. I moved quickly in this case even though Poo tried to save $30 in plastic with poor results. Lame.

The 325 is actually still better than the 2.75 in all situations.

Except for the bro’s who wanna run it down a trail at 80 mph.

There were quite a few little upgrades on the 24' vs 23', most notably is the 3.25 track. Even though the 3.25 is quite a bit heavier than the 2.75" it is considerably better deep snow, off trail powder track. I wouldn't buy a Polaris with a 2.75 now that the 3.25 is available.

Also the new scratchers. Which are a $100 upgrade and well worth it.

$3500-3800 more for a 2024 and you only get 1 year warranty I went with the 2023. I can up grade track and scratcher cheaper myself

Thanks

not 100% sure but heard polaris reworked the tunnel/cooler area on the 24's to let the 3.25 fit and clear. so not sure a 3.25 will fit a 23' but theres a few good options of 3" tracks for $1500 ish

 

[Ultrasauras]

Ya it would be another option that I upgrade to not the 3.25

It’s 3/16” x 2” in 2 areas.

Not a big rework.

It’s just adding extra clearance, the track fits without rubbing stock.

 

[JH@CM]

With mods the 3.25 track can fit on <24 tunnels.

It’s a very minor mod.

It’s still a one year older sled that’s worth 3-4k less than a 24’, then $1,500 to upgrade the track, you’re not saving any money.

Depending on what you figure I paid for the 2023. Bought it with 2 years warranty for less the everyone is asking for their use 2023 with 1000-1500 miles and no warranty. I can sell my 2.75 and the upgrade is $0 - $500.
