Axys pro rmk vs pro...

[goridedoo]

Money wise I think in 2-3 years you will have spent less $$ per mile by buying a carry over Pro. If you look for the right deal you might be able to still pick up a brand new one for $8500. I think the resale on Pros will be very similar to what the M8s did a few years ago. The prices on them dropped dramatically when the Pros and Proclimbs came out (to around $6000) and nice ones held there for 2-3 years. The price of used Pros dropped big time between January(axys teaser came out) and March(axys was fully released) from around $8000 to $6000. Im betting a nice used Pro will still be worth $6000+ in 2-3 years. An Axys will more than likely cost you $12500 now and I would guess it will be worth $8500ish in 2-3 years. All just speculation.

I would not be one bit concerned about the motor on 2015 Pro. Imo you would be wasting your money replacing a good top end. Ride it, dont worry about it. Once you hit 1500-2000 or miles its maybe time to start thinking about checking out the motor.

All that being said if I were upgrading right now I would pony up and go for the Axys! Only bad that I have heard is that some don't idle real well, but it sounds like there is a fix for that.

I have a 15 Indy 800 piped clutched bikeman head 2700 miles on it compression still the same as it was new and has been pounded on hard complete waste of time to put a fix kit in a 500 miles 15 sled an axys might be the better buy too a point but if u can find a good 15 with 500 miles on it with warranty do that to me it would be up too what u really want make the decision for yourself and what makes u happy

For some.... IMO... the ProRide is a better choice..for others... the AXYS would be the choice.

That's actually a hard question to answer. It depends where I'm riding. In the U.P. It's technical tree riding (sea level - 2000) for the most part. Playing in tight steep creek beds. But out west it's all different obviously as I know you are are aware. Ride tog and snowies) More open tree riding, jumping anything I can find, tearing up open meadows ect. It's a mix bag of different riding to be honest.

You, with your technical riding and backcountry work... Are going to LOVE the AXYS-mtn!!

Awesome!! I can't wait!!

Correct, and the Axys will depreciate too.

 

[RMKillR]

I got a question maybe you guys might be able to throw some insight on, being I've never bought new sled off the floor.

The sled was is a snow check the dealer ordered, has e start, which I'm not really interested in having. That said, do you think I can get them to remove the e start and clutch with the ring gear and swap a clutch on it and knock a couple hundred off?

Other wise I will probably remove the e start myself as long it doesn't mess with the warranty.

 

[Jaynelson]

Probably not...just a bunch of work for them and e start kits aren't a big seller. The labour to take it off, plus the discount you want will be worth as much as the kit IMO. Never hurts to ask but that's my guess.

Ride it twice with the e start and you'll probably lose the urge to mess with it. Happened to me.

 

[RMKillR]

Picked her up today!! Took her for a little rip (had surgery Thursday so still tender, so wasn't much of a rip) but... Whoa does the engine feel strong even being in the break in, feels smooth!!!
