Polaris die hard first ride on gen 5 turbo R today

It’s the exact feeling I have when on a Doo, love the motor and some other traits but always felt weird sidehilling in steep terrain. Still does, will look forward to riding a gen 5 for comparison.

I can't believe the amount of snow the gen5 holes over a polaris. The amount of water that melts off my gen5, is 5x what I have ever seen on any of my polaris sleds.

Curious to hear if the sawing of the bars on a sidehill goes away. 2100 miles on my G4 and one of my biggest complaints was how much bar input was required while on edge. Felt like the was too much fighting to keep the sled happy on edge. Watching others ride has shown it's not just me.

It’s still there on the 23’ expert. I really hate it.

Coming from polaris i don't mind the bar swing, I hate the skis grabbing and wanting to rip the bars out of your hands.

You can minimize the bar rip from hand nature of your Gen 5 with aftermarket skis and spindles. They don’t 100% remove it but improve a noticeable amount.

I'm going to try gripper skis out, what spindles work good ?

I’m running Iceage spindles with slp Mohawks. I had zrp spindles on my Gen 4, I like the Iceage spindles better. They are a happy medium of improvement but still light steering.
