The Final Assessment
The Indy 600 XC has the potential to be one of Polaris' most exciting machines.If it can get through the critical first year growing pains, the XC couldbe a Roseau all-star. The new front suspension configuration isn't just a gimmick, it works. The rear suspension is solid and dependable. With just a couple things to fix, we have high hopes for next winter aboard the latest made in the USA sled.
