No Hesitation
There was no hesitation in giving it a little more throttle each time a new launch pad presented itself. Riding down the trail to and from our riding area, the suspension was a little resistant and gave some harsh feedback but we were able to fine tune the shocks rather quickly with the user-friendly adjustment knobs.
Ski stance on the Assault is adjustable from 41.5-43.5 inches, compared to a Pro RMK with its 39-41 adjustable ski stance. A wider platform provides stability which is an appreciated attribute when lining up your next drop or trying your hand at your local hillclimb race. Both riding styles are what the Assault was intended to be used for.
You expect durability when you buy a snowmobile built to be used in extreme situations. Polaris kept that in mind when it built the Assault. The A-arms in the front suspension are built with a stronger, beefier version of metal than what is found on the Pro RMK. Also worth noting is the use of a chaincase drive system which has been used primarily on snowmobiles for years. It’s reliable and heavy-duty, made to withstand any abuse a rider can throw at it.
