2017 600 RMK 144...

This has the wider, assault front end, too. Even more weird for a non-Assault RMK. Dr. Frankenstein (or is it steeeen) is calling again.


The factory explanation of the target market has got to be interesting.

Where did you get that idea? It has the RMK front end.

39-40-41 is the ski stance on these 600s. The 800 rmk is 38-39-40.

What 800 RMK are you referring to?Have you checked? I think they have always been the 39-40-41. And that is what I read on the Polaris website Pros, Axys Pros and standard RMKs 17s,16s 15s etc.

155 version! less h.p. than the 800 h.o. but you know the belt drive will last a bit longer. extra cooler really needed on the 6?

Yeah you're right, I thought when they said it had a 39" stance the measured to the center position.

Mild steel a-arms... Those could probably be used as replacements for the forged aluminum arms if you bend them. Probably cheaper too

I wish... These A-Arms are configured to use a 17.5" shock which is almost an inch longer than the true AXYS-Mtn sleds that have the forged a-arms.

Both the 600-144RMK and the other AXYS Mtn sleds share the 39"-40"-41" front width.

The base 600RMK baffles me. I thought initially it was a good idea, but retail is over $10k! Not really an "entry level" sled. Looked through the rest of the lineup then hopped over to SkiDoo... the Summit Sport is a 600 carbed, weighs 30+ pounds less, has the 146x16x2.25 track... and retails for $7999. That is a heck of a deal.

Any idea what the shock length is on the new Switchback assault?
