The throttle block looks cheap and very thin there the cable is retained.
The seat, yikes.
I don’t have issues with my 22 boards
For an 850 guy there’s nothing that’ll make me upgrade from my 22.

 

[jcjc1]

that's an impressive list of improvements relating to quality and it's great to see. makes one wonder what the hell they were thinking quality-wise prior to these changes.

 

[RMK-King]

Another list that includes some trail models and extra details. It's nice they are recognizing some of the issues and working on refinements anyways. Ideally, they would have just got it right the first time!

I’m a sucker for aging chassis. refinements looked great to me. Seems like they pullled off lightest weight again, when hung all thawed out anyway. Whatever it’s worth.

The 165 PRO RMK with the 3.25 track looks perfect for the conditions we have riding in Japan, steep and deep most of the time. Japan doesn't do snowcheck though, Polaris Japan decides on what models it will release here each year, and colours too. Am hoping the above model is included.

They killed the 650 Khaos. Guess I can never sell my wife’s 146.
Stupid move Polaris.
Going backwards with less options for younger, smaller, novice or less aggressive riders.

The 650 is such a great power plant that is now relegated to the one size fits some “SP”.

 

[HCRRider]

So Im asusming that the P22 upgrades will be applicable to 24's as well?

They also killed the two Evo models. Guess we don't need to recruit younger or less aggressive riders, eh?

Although I am glad to admit I like to see all the refinements for 2025. There's nothing there though that is going to get me to sell my '22 and '24 though. We'll just keep riding what we have. It's a pity the SP doesn't have the option to upgrade to the 7s display. The SP is just last year's stocking model, correct? That's what it looks like anyway. Notice for the 850 N/A' s they cut way back on color choices.

It saw a graphic of the 2025 models with a “2024 Evo” included… so I assume they are still producing it but selling it as a 2024?

I’ve been of the mentality for many years that Polaris needs to offer fewer options/models and focus on earlier delivery, lower pricing, and better quality/reliability. That said I would hate to see youth offerings get axed.

If that is the case then are new pistons going in 650's and 850's: and all other updates being done?

 

[Totalbrody]

good improvements, Polaris. But not excited about heat mapping. We better be able to disable this one.

You can add the 7S to the SP when you get to the accessories page under electronics. Both EVOs are listed in the 25 lineup as 24s, im guessing they just had a bunch of holdovers.

Could they have found a cheaper throttle block?

In hindsight, having bought, built and sold an RMK Evo I think it’s a joke.

Keeping the Pro Ride chassis on life support having killed the axys is a bit of a slap in the face.

The pro ride should have died and the axys should have taken its place in the value line up.

No one in their right mind would by an RMK Evo when the other two manufacturers sell similarly priced sleds that are actually capable of entry level mountain riding from the factory.

Yeah that's interesting. On one hand, you can see where the crowds are going and avoid those spots. On the other hand, others can see where you go and find your hidey holes.

Excellent point ! Except now I have to spend over $1,000 on my Neo + to upgrade it to match the 2025 that was released. Oh well, I spent over $1,500 on the EVO to get it to where it needed to be which I assume is what you had to do too. EVO is still carbed, which I hate. WHY is the Pro-ride still alive??

Guys are like a bunch of friggen women. Never satisfied with anything. If they had 30 color options , would bitch about not the right color. If they offered 20 different models, guys would bitch about they not offering enough. They prob sold 10 Evo for christ sake. Now the throttle block is cheap. Sounds like guys got too much time on their hands and not enough time ripping on the sleds!

I for one and glad they didnt drop anything. At least they are making an effort to take care of some housekeeping issues.
