Interesting, they have wet weight numbers published now.

I understand they need to spread the love but the expert not getting the coil skid is a big miss imo.

If anyone can appreciate the new skid, wouldn't it be the expert customer? I would find it difficult to pull the trigger on a '26 without it.

The twin link steering is compelling, though. Polaris has a big gap on Doo in that department and anything Doo can do to narrow the gap is going to help a lot in the tech stuff

Also looks like if a guy wanted to go X package for the coil over you wouldn't get the twin link steering?

reducing weight is nice but I feel they really need to reduce it from the front end which is where it would count more. the engine weight is where they should focus but
I understand the r&d costs and risk of engine changes are much higher than removing some inches from the tunnel.

are the accent pieces orange or red? i cant tell

 

[Blu Du]

what are the benefits of the coil overs

 

[madmax]

The two big negatives will be the decreased cooling capacity. They already over heat easily on the trail. The delete of the external limiter strap adjustment is another negative for most riders.

Did I miss the warranty on pre orders?

 

[Sheetmetalfab]

I think it looks like some awesome improvements!

 

[brandon227]

Looks like some good evolutionary improvements.

Exactly. They addressed the back half the summit x and the front half of the summit expert. If you want the complete fix....wait til 27?

Not sure about reducing the cooling on a machine that already has cooling issues. We still have to ride the trails to get to the spots.

its a LEGIT CONCERN

I haven't seen it yet either

Cooling is a real concern of mine, as I do spend a LOT of time on trails getting TO and FROM my favorite riding spots.
And I LIKE the adjustable Limiter strap.
BUT.
I must admit the vast overwhelming majority of the time I just leave it on NIMBLE.

I believe the cooling they took away probably didn't actually do alot of cooling since it was so far back

A coil over skid doesn't need an adjustable limiter.

QSL rear track shock handles ski lift well. (Without limiting travel)

Yes I realize it's another thing to buy.

The cooling will be fine. They kindof copied the 24 polaris scratchers which was a game changer. They will run cooler than you've ever seen them run.

Glad with the buddy tracking finally Just hope it works like it should. But the map needs way better topo or option to download some better mapping for mountain riding to be able to read the terrain . And option to add Waypoints .

 

[caper11]

We are back to paneling out and overheating. The shorter cooler and 32” front end is a concern of mine.

 

[underpressure]

Mine will get up to 165 degrees cruising down the trail at 35 in 2 inches of fresh on a packed road, a few quick off trail movements and it cools back to 140 ish. Runs around 110 in deep snow pinned.

ya.
the degree of RESOLUTION on their maps is VERY LOW by comparison to the 7s or to my handheld Garmin GPS or even my iPhone running OnX.
