2011 Mountain sleds??
- Thread starter IceCap
- Start date
From what I hear its going to be a rush style front end much like we saw in the spy pics of the switchback.
some more rumors...
600 and 800 DI motors (released in 2011 or 2012?)
Rush front end on a RMK tunnnel, seat, rear suspension - 20-30lbs lighter
no torsion springs on rear suspension (not sure what shocks Fox, Walkers, Ryde FX) (or if it will be an air shock or a coil over)
Diamond drive? (heard someone bought the rights from AC not sure if it is Doo or Poo)
no change for 2011 for the mtn sled and big change in 2012

Big Motor Changes to Come?
I heard a rumor Polaris is working on some new light weight four strokes to meet epa emissions and for less warranty engine concerns? I just hope if this is true they are reliable like the yamaha & new ski doo four strokers. If this is true it will be interesting to see if poo can build a good 4 stroke?

I'm sure they can build them (the 4 strokes). I would just like to see if they do go that route at least they get some HP out of them.
My rumor monger told me a new chassi for the rmk, not the rush but based off the rush design not as light as the xp but close, and maybe a DI 800 for 2012.
run, run far away!!!
my buddy that works at poli said all the rmk's will have the rush rear end.
THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO THE LIBERTY 700 ( BULLET PROOF) MOTOR. LOOK BACK IN THE SLEDS SOLD PER YEAR..AND 2000 WAS THE MOST SLEDS EVERY SOLD IN ONE YEAR IN THE U.S.A 
Sled sales
Actually 1996 was the peak year for sales
250,000 units (all combined manufacturers)
last year was only 80,000 units

They break cranks too just like the 800's. My boy broke his last weekend. Pto pin just like I did a year ago in mine. Should be good to go now for another 4000 miles. Not too bad if you ask me.
Lighter, larger FST, hopefully in mountain trim too.
Four-stroke to fill in for the 500 and under trail segment.
Possibly a DI 600.
Remember, there are a few seasons before the 2012 emissions kick in. They actually go into effect in the 2013 season, so I don't know just how much DI you'll see riht away next year.

Lol
I have my running shoes on. What ever they do I won't be in that line. Um lets see....my Polaris trust level right now would be um......yeah, yep it's 0.

Tweak the cfi 700
In my humble opinion the 700 cfi has been the bright spot in the mountain segment for poo, everything else is not reliable. They should make the chassis lighter and stiffer, put a good track under it and tweak the motor back to the way it came in 07 and carry on. I will not be in line for the 800 myself

And don't forget, better shocks all around.
no 4 stroke for 2012
i do not understand why the push 800. its a BS engine. all my 700 are faster, stronger and harder then 800.
