What are the improvements from the 2018 800?
Wow, where to start. Well, the first place to start would be the new 850 Patriot powerplant, a significant step-up in power and performance from the 800 Liberty. Not only is the power difference between the 800 and 850 noticeable, but so is power delivery with a much smoother powerband than what the 800 offers. As much as we like the changes to the front end and other parts of the Pro RMK 850, the impressive new engine is head and shoulders above those other new features. Impressive enough that now the 850 Patriot can challenge Ski-Doo’s Rotax 850 for most power on the mountain in a naturally aspirated engine.
There is a new front suspension, the React, which we detailed above. The running boards have also been changed and there is a new hyfax.
