An obervation from a Polaris owner.

Even better question for a new Summit - because there's still an 08 XP in there somewhere :bowl:

I guess Doo is Canadian - we're all about recycling up here!

LMAO no no, the T3 is AMAAAAZING. Put enough track on somethin, hell even a 1990 indy trail will climb:face-icon-small-dis

But according to the biler, we all should be riding an 08 XM. Best sled ever made
 
Just so we are clear; mountain 800, the exhaust can on the new Axys Pro weighs 18 pounds. My 153 Cat weighs 465 without fuel or oil, which it uses mass quantities of by the way. I am not sure, but, seems like more than 40 pounds of difference there. As has been stated before, 40 pounds is a bunch when you are pounding the back country all day!!! Our 2012 and 2013 Cats in stock form would blow a $180 belt in 40 to 80 miles without exception. My 2006 Summit X needed a $800 TRA clutch rebuild every 7 -800 miles. Polaris has a new motor chassis combo that apparently rips. I am finished sealing up a chassis that puts mass quantities of snow under the hood. Pick your poison boys, I'm going to run a Polaris again and enjoy it.:face-icon-small-coo

18 lbs? I've heard 22 lbs. That means you can DROP 18 lbs with a 250 dollar GGB can.
 
18 lbs. is what came out of the posts that are included in the pre model year rider info/observations. Post shows a picture of the sled with panels removed. Exhaust is visible, weight is stated as 18 lbs. That's my only source of info. I am going to run mine stock, at 408 dry, I am good with that!

Hey I'm just repeating what the Poo rep told me. I couldn't hardly believe it myself. He said something about new materials used.
I don't think anyone has actually had one on a scale yet have they?
 
No worries there. The 2015 can was 9lbs. Best information so far has the 2016 can at 18lbs. Heard things from company people that are completely false as well. My favorite is "We are not experiencing those problems in our testing.":face-icon-small-dis

Been reading HCS a lot on the new motor in the flatland sled, most seem to be good, some failures a lot of rpm fade that seems to be widespread with no answers. Poo got caught sending a hot ecu in to dynotech for Jim to get the 160 number also. But have to say I'll be watching next season as the rmk is a hot looker with a tight skinny azz. Oh yeah fuel mileage is no better than the dirty ole zuke either from guys that are riding them hard.

Is this documented or hearsay?

Ok, question.
If the 16 can is 18 lbs. that means Poo dropped 14 lbs. off the 16 chassis compared to the 15 chassis. That seems like a little much to me. Maybe the Rep is a little more accurate.
 
Fuel consumption on the Zuke and Liberty should be close at WFO if they are close in horsepower. The reports would indicate that the horsepower is indeed close. However the same horsepower in a lighter sled will have an advantage in this regard. Also fuel management at the lower rpm ranges will play a role in fuel mileage as well. Etec is the real benefactor of that part of it.:beer;

Mountaincat 800, after I referred to previous posts, the 2016 can weighs 17 pounds. Some of the weight loss is accounted for, ie, new track -4lbs, new rails -3lbs, new a arms/front suspension 3.2lbs. The whole cowl, tub and other parts are more compact than the Pro Ride and may account for some additional weight loss. Pro Ride was claimed 417 dry, Axys Pro is claimed 408 dry, difference of 9 pounds. Can difference is 8 pounds. Total of 17 pounds chassis/body difference. I have accounted for over 10 pounds of that leaving 6.8 pounds somewhere in the mix. That is the full extent of what I know, take it as you will. I think if you talk to that rep again, you might see if he said or meant 17 instead of 7.

Lighter crank, lighter motor mounting, smaller tunnel and bulkhead, ...
