The new sleds coming out are awesome. I'm excited for next year. I just hope we get some better snow.
I really don't think 50 lbs makes that big a difference. I ride with people that range from 150lbs to 300+lbs. Of course weight is important but 50lbs nope. Total weight of sled and rider together is more important. You would save money losing weight on your body than your sled. Just go on a diet if you need too. I've seen doo's perform very well against poo's. Both are great sleds and both have cons and pros. Doo has a better engine, track, front suspension and storage options. Poo's are lighter, narrow bodies and better running boards. This is just my opinion and what l like about the sleds.
I think Polaris has the better front suspension and more rigid structure that holds the front suspension. Plus they didn't have to add bandaids like narrowing it up to 36" and add T-motion and flex track to get it to handle.
