2025 Rumors

So... 2026. Think Poo comes out with a new chassis (plastics mostly) for 2026 trail sleds? Then follow in the mountains for 2027? We're in the 5th year of Matryx now. Time flew by.

Seems like they added stuff every single year though.

I bet with the steep drop in powersports sales they stretch the "refined chassis" a few extra years, and maybe do a facelift on the plastics if anything at all.

I mean, at the point it's not like they're going to sell a ton of new $25k sleds. They may as well stretch it out and wait for the economy to improve.

BNG. Maybe roll some of the 9R/Boost only features down model.

Feels like we are in the era of dimenishing returns on new designs. Companies can skirt that by adding a ton of new features and upping the price. Unfortunately polaris is also already punching too high there to keep growing cost. Who wants a 35k sled that’s worth 14 in a year?

I just don’t see the Pro Ride to Axys improvement happening again without a radical design change. Matryx was fairly subtle on the ride feel improvement front already

I dont think they will put out much if ANY changes...they need to perfect what they have before making new...Plus most of the engineers who worked and built prototypes are not at Polaris anymore...been released....what you have right now will be what you have on 2027 I feel....Polaris lost 1 Billion last year, hard to get money to develop anything new...Jus like cars and trucks, no real changed in 5 years then new model...

BNG and some minor tweaks here and there for 2026..................Nothing big until at least 2027 is my guess as well.

Everything developed and planned for release is scheduled out years in advance though.

Seems like at least one or 2 years of releases would be in the pipeline at the time of a downturn.

For sure - this is the entire reason the Catalyst exists. They have to be working on any next gen chassis nearly as soon as the previous comes out.

Yes, the engineers are working 5-7y ahead of when products are released to consumers.

But the question remains, when they release the updates to chassis, engine, etc. That's a calculated decision based on supply/demand and of course their ability to price it in a way that will be compelling to customers. Lots of considerations.
