So from the video:
38 lbs lighter
2014 Rush Pro-R 800 has a dry weight of 464
meaning 2015 Axys should weigh 426 lbs dry
15% increase in power to weight ratio (some of this comes from the weight drop)
estimate the 2014 Rush Pro-R 800 = 140-148 hp?
To get to the 15% increased power to weight, Polaris is saying the Axys has about 8 more hp than the 2014...

Assuming they are talking about the 800...

put it in to photoshop and did a bunch of stuff and it dosent clear it up at all.
Screenshots I got, just on my phone right now tho so pausing the video is a little difficult

a 15% power to weight bump in the 600 would be nice too.
take a 130-135 horsepower engine and bump it up to 140-146. Basically the same HP as the current 800 but maybe a little more reliable...
So no teasers with mountain sleds?? The track on that thing could double as a QD belt. Lets see some real sleds! :face-icon-small-ton

the meat of the market in the flatlander trail class is the 600.i am assuming the updated motor will be the 600 IMHO.

Looks alot like the current with a revised belly pan and heat ex changer.
I was gonna say, looks like pro ride plastics to me.

Unless it's the air intake it looks like the guage cluster is mounted farther back, elevated and angled for better visibility. Also looks as if the kill switch is located beside the throttle block as a seperate unit allowing it to be rotated foreward if so desired.

New 600 powerplant with iqr crank would be my guess. 800 to follow in 2016 lets hope. Thats my predictions.

It must not corner very well. At about 17sec, the guys outside foot is 6" off the running board as he is taking a corner....I don't have to lean that hard on my Pro now. Hopefully the boot off the board it is just to look cool for the pictures.
How about they do both with a whole new power plant :face-icon-small-win
The whole rear suspension looks like billet aluminum instead of steel like last year!
Hard to say. I did a lot of trail riding before getting into boondocking and going out west. The speeds we used to carry in the trails I wouldn't even think about doing now. As the sleds got taller the more body english you had use to still rail around the corners. The Rush has the tallest seating position of any trail out. But the trade off is worth it in my mind. Easier to stand over the trashed bumps. Just got to ride more forward and get your body lower in the corners and they will still rail.
