Has anyone used a Polaris Rush 136???

[jfox1995]

One of my buddies has a Polaris Rush with a 136x1.5" track. He has ridden the snowies and bighorns with us before so he isn't new to mountain riding. Last year though he decided he rides trails here in the flatland more than the mountains so he bought one of these Rush's.

Has anyone used one of these before in the mountains or seen one running around? I am just wondering how it will do. I know it isn't ideal but I doubt he will rent so that isn't an option.

Thanks in advance for any info,
Jim

Last year when we went out to Cooke City one of the guys I ride with had a 144 assault with the 1.5" track. I will have to say that I was really impressed where he went with it. It will get stuck quicker and he will not be able to climb as high and you have to keep that in mind when riding as a group. The places that you want to go he might not be able to get to.

As long as u don't encounter super deep snow he will have a blast

I'm not worried about the length. We ride with several 144 and 146" tracks and no one has a problem. I rode a 136" for a couple years and it wasn't an issue either.
My main question was that goofy rear end that the rush has. I just don't know if it will be a problem or not.

Thanks for the info so far.

Own 2011 Pro and a 2012 Switchback. Switchback is a 600 with 136 X 1.35 cobra a lot of fun on trail rides but if you get it in the powered it is out of it element. Not a mountain sled does not like to get on top of the snow. Kind of like mixing ATVs and dirt bikes.

On set snow it will kill a long big track, Thats where she shines

Thanks for the replies.

I guess he will have to make do if he wants to go, or rent...

Yes!

Most of it will be recycled though.

Rails and the larger Walker Evans shock are here now.
