Polaris is coming out with heated leather seats?????Finally!!!
I also heard that they will offer twin cup holders as an option.
They are going to come up with a way to make the carbon fiber bumper a few grams lighter. 
Come on Polaris.... your sled is crazy light, you could put a real bumper on it and still be ok.

The polaris is already the cheapest mountain sled available. I checked price on Pro climb M800, 1100T, and the XP 800ETEC X pkg and the Poo was anywhere from $1000 less to $2500 less then compeition.
Somebody around here has a quote in their sig about the infamous 07 900 not being dead, just suspended for a while. That was 6 years ago. Lots of tinkering can be had in 6 years.
Considering all the jingle invested in that motor I'm taking a wild guess...the 2013 Pro will be offered in a retooled (fixed?) 900 HO in the 170 HP range.

How bout a 2013 165hp Vertical Escape Pro, with the old black, red and chrome graphics, top it off with a digital compass and altimeter.
or
165 hp, Blackout, Black tunnel, Black Rails etc.. kinda like that M8 from a few years ago.
Both would be cool.
I would order one, how bout ya'll

We saw them at Seeley Lake last December. WE were stopped on the trail and they came I'm and went around us. They were QUIET!!!
I did....it's called a etec XP
Sorry....I can't help myself!
Polaris has good chassis going, get a reliable engine with a little more poop and I might have to think about it again.
please god don't let it be a four stroke, fst=four stroke tank!!!
Yeah, but it's a Ford!

Orbital Engine (I used to own the stock back when they started and it was worthless). They came up with the technology that BRP and Evinrude uses in their motors so don't let anyone ever tell you the E-tech was BRP's idea; it is licensed technology. And yes, Poo has an agreement with them too but have yet to bring it to the table for sleds. From what I understand, they are close though and it won't use speaker drivers like the BRP system does. I think you'll see them one-up the E-tec for the 2013 Pro.
Have FUN!

I see a potent 4 stroke as the big news in the near future... but heck... what do I know.

and 480 pds dry...
after several years of the faithful being discouraged Polaris is finally starting to come through with flying colors ....don;t worry...i don;t think they are going to let their leadership slip again...i think they will be the leading innovators the next several years..its going to be the Polaris glory years for a while...
Going to be very interesting..
Going to be very interesting..
Look at the companies they purchased in the last few years... Swissauto has some wicked concepts in the pipeline for some time... maybe that is why Polaris acquired them.

Most of you know this, OEM's are working on multiple engine projects constantly, most never get out of Engineering. 4S's, turbos, chargers, DI, etc.
Bottom line - Poo has to improve their emission standings, which means a combo of more 4S's, DI, especially if HP goes up. Emission limits are impacted by HP ratings, also (read no more M1000, cat scrapped the 600, don't think that wasn't a driver). My rules of thumb:
First DI will be in a 6, before an 8. No 8 DI in 13. I think they are still gunshy of any bold new big bore motors after the laydown 860, then CFI4 800 debacles. They should be, too. They were idiots. Some of those idiots still sulk in the halls of Poo.
Could be a 4S turbo offering, Poo and Doo are watching cat closely. Poo has a great 600, less HP means less emission impact. Don't think Poo will dump the 600 for a 4S alla cat, cat's 600 was third string, but, it's a tooling and production cost thing, too. Poo will want to stop getting pummeled on the HP playground, especially in the flats, where there still sell some sleds.
An 800ho is a possibility for 13, but not without some offsetting emission strategy via 4S or DI. Something that leverages past engineering. SWAG's.
