Did anyone else notice if you build one and look at it on Polaris's website it has a tether showing?

Well ... that was great for the top end of the market but the mid-market got nothing - still same lame carbureted 550 fanner and seven models in the old Pro chassis. The Axys chassis is completely gone but the Pro chassis lives on? What the he*ll? No 200 for the kiddos, no decent small mountain sled for new riders, just a 12 year old out of date chassis with a carbureted engine. Umm... guess Poo will let the other manufacturers capture the new riders. Seems like a dumb move to me but what do I know? I'm sure we all switched brands after growing up on whatever our dads had, right?
They will still sell out which while the new price is absurd - is the point. The interesting thing will be when supply catches demand because 24k is definitely overpriced
I don't see the 900 as exciting or interesting to me. But I ride at elevation and I like the Boost. I would agree, the difference between Doo and Poo isn't that much and I would be happy with either. A polaris boost khoas 155 with 7S and electric start, I show as $23,655. Similar doo freeride turbo with shot lists at $21,199. $2,500 difference. Looks like Doo only does 2 year warranty now. I have had better luck with Poo, so I would stick with it, but only 200 miles on my 2022. So no new order for me.
Just ordered the 9R! I’m a low altitude guy so seems like a great fit. Hope for delivery in decent time….
hey on the track and drivers , which should you get? There's an option but I don't know anything about them? 6 series or 8?
Lost me on the 900R when they said race suspension setup (Stiff) and new lightweight crank. Had flashbacks of one of my race sleds. Awesome for racing and hitting jumps, just remember it was a trenching b$tch though. Show Checked 2 Pro Slash 165 2.75 Series 8, velocity shocks kitted out for $25k each. Lightweight crank just gave me flashbacks of the 900 Dragon crank eater. for a 7% HP increase over Liberty 850 vs 10% boost and maintaining the HP at altitude was better at a $2k increase from the 900R just seemed a better fit for us. Figure Polaris will have worked out the kinks in the boost a little better next year. Dealer already called and confirmed they got the allocation for me and a buddy to place in the morning.
Save your money and send your 850 primary and secondary clutch’s to Patrick’s and get them balanced, titanium kit and carbon covers and the rotating mass will be 2 pounds lighter on the NA
I’d be real curious to see the actual weight difference in the 9R and the 850. I’m know the numbers won’t it include the clutches, but…

Claiming the 900 is 1.2lb lighter than the 850 per the snowest article: https://www.snowest.com/2022/02/2023-polaris-rmk-9r-khaos
Some other good info in the article as well.

No mention of SmartWarmers, I'm out.
146 9r with carbon skid and 153 3 inch power claw for me haha
no fire sell tomorrow , most guys don't want to trade for less power
Smart warmers are back in the features list again whatever that's worth.
