2025 Rumors

The stator on a shot e-tec is heavy duty enough to be backfed to turn the motor over about one revolution. Power comes from a beefy capacitor. It generally fires as soon as either piston comes up. If it doesn't, you'll be pulling it.
Without direct injection you have to turn the motor over a few revolutions to draw the fuel and air into the chamber.
Polaris would need to add several pounds to the sled to have a shot style starter, and it would likely end up weighing just about exactly what an electric starter does.
Reverse and shot are completely different things. Reverse never stops the motor, just lets the inertia get low enough that it wont blow parts apart when it flips the timing out and reverses the crank spin.
Engineering budgets are set by project managers that may or may not know anything about the actual engineering. If you have good engineers and good managers that work well together most of the things should be pretty well ironed out by the time the budget is spent and the schedule times out.
If one, or both parts of this team are not good at their jobs the budget is spent before the completion date on the schedule and the product comes out mediocre at best. Some PMs only care about the hitting the schedule milestones, being on budget, and don't care about the overall results because as long as they hit those targets they get bonuses at the end of the year.
It's fun watching Roczen kick his Suzuki at the start line, isn't it?
3.25 will chuck lugs for 80% of snow conditions. its gotta be deeeeep to really need it. the 2.75 is an awesome track, and so is the g4 2.5.
my buddys with the 2.75 can get anywhere i can on a boosted 2.6
2.75 and 2.6 are only ok in dry snow from what I've noticed. You put those tracks in heavy west coast snow they are pretty lowsy compared to the power claw, and supposedly the lynx track which I have yet to try. I was in dry snow this weekend ( relative to us) and my 2.75 was hooking up nicely and wasn't constant folding over and just spinning like it does when the snow starts to get a little a more warm and wet. The more miles I get on the 2.75 the worse it seems to get as it softens up.
It'll chunk if you ride it too fast for too long just like a doo 3".
Everyone trying to sell a 2.75 because it sucks, so there's plenty of used tracks out there for you.
The high elevation sugar is where that track shines. It sucks at lower elevation heavier snow.
We have sugar snow and 2.75 works good. This year we have dirt. Not sure how it hooks up on that.
I found snow at 9000'.....
Rode plenty of dirt from 5800 to 7000ish before the snow was actually covering the trail in.
I find it varies greatly. I ride up by showdown quite a bit, and generally it's what I would consider heavy snow. Cooke is the only place I ever get into bottomless sugar.
That 2.4 Polaris track with screws in the lugs may be the track to have this year trying to ride hard enduro on our fancy powder sleds…
I was thinking a taffy machine so i could sit at home and pull taffy. That's how bad our snow is here. Still have friends who haven't went yet
Isn't this thread about 2025 rumors? I heard this week that a new clutch is coming to replace the P22. I would not be surprised if we get another stop ride notice for the P22 right after snowcheck is over. Other thing I expect to be offered this year is the 900 Turbo. I don't expect it to have a lot more top end power but much better bottom end, It may get the heavy crank.
It is!? Ha. I have it on reasonable authority that the P22 is sticking around for 2025. I think it's a matter of optics but they will likely make more changes to the way it is retained. Oh, and no 900 Boost, at least not for 2025!
So if the P22 clutch gets a spider retainer added I call that a new clutch. You can call it a P22 update. Either way I don't care what its called it as long as that change takes place. I don't know when the 900 Boost is coming only heard it is coming, barring any new finacial crisis. or surprises by the competition.

I've never understood why everyone is obsessed with the idea of a 9R Boost.... wouldn't alot of things that make the 9R good be an issue with boost? High compression, lightweight pistons... and basically everything else? I think we'll see a new ground up turbo/engine package eventually... not a 9R boost.
I guess Burandt runs one. Who knows. Probably not me.
