2008 Polaris Dragon RMK 800 Ride Report

James, I haven't had a chance to ride one yet. But your post makes me want to :D I've got my 07 Summit up for sale! :face-icon-small-win


give the summit a chance Dan.lol I'm hearing great things about the dragons as well.
 
It's actully really good to hear that all brands of sleds are doing well, I think the only thing the XP has on the Dragon is looks. Think about it though, if you want that Dragon to become a Apex, just throw a few cinder blocks on it, and wella you got a Yamaha!
 
Sounds great!! I have an 07 600 and love the chasis/handling over my 04 Escape. Best part, it has the 797 kit with the 800 race crank. Runs strong and bullet proof crank, so far so good.
 
New ride soon

Picking up my dragon right after Boxing day if all goes well.... I've had an 03 Vertical Escape which I have enjoyed since new. Road the 700 Dragon last year... Amazing ride... Just needed a little more power. Can't wait!:)
 
The dragon I rode with today went well past what I expected...Bone stock, not 2 miles on the odometer and it did not struggle at all today....
Was in 2-3 feet of fresh and it broke trail,carved, boondocked as well as any of us maybe even easier. The thing just floats forever. 3 cats, 2 revs and one other poo...The dragon is under hyped and will over deliver...

Five rides, on my 163 800 all in deep 3-4' powder rode with lot's of xp's
this year and to boot 20 years younger and very good riders .
When it came to long steep pulls in the deep powder the xp's didn't cut it.No better then the older rev's some performed better.
At the end of the day all the doo guy's admited the dragon out performed
all. I don't wan't to over hype the dragon on the bases of if the xp gets the clutching fixed it will be a contender . But for now have not seen a xp perform as well as a dragon and matched rider. One other point I have a 07 700 155 dragon 850
hard miles only runs stronger. Hoping my 8 will only run stronger...:D
 
Pinnedunderdoo just hates himself, so he makes it his mission in life to try and ruin things for everyone else too.

He does it whenever possible. I would suggest just putting him on your ignore list.:D

wow you ride a 900 now that is why you are so sensitive.... im sure theres courses out there to over come buying a pos.
 
I had the opportunity to ride the new RMK 800 Dragon (155) in Golden yesterday (Quartz) and have to say that I am thoroughly impressed, so much so that I have changed my mind about getting an XP. The XP that I rode for comparison pulled harder up the chute I tested both machines on (XP was broken in and almost dialed, Polaris had 20kms on it), overall however I would take the RMK 800 anyday over the REV XP...


Come on James, tell the true story about how you feel after having more seat time on my XP!

Well, truth be told I like the XP as well, it did have more power in the chute at Quartz and now that I can finally carve with it. Both sleds are good!... the XP (after the clutching is sorted out) a little more so than the Polaris

thw dragon is really in its element in the deep pow, i really like how it only gets stronger the more i ride it, they drug another broken xp out with an old 670 summit the rider didn't look too pleased, that four in the last 3 weeks, and there aren't that many around, don't look good for skidon't:eek:
