Well, shoot. I guess that is our first preview of what our mountain sled will be next year. Quick, folks, get soem seat time on it so I know if I need to buy the last of the AXYS chassis sleds this year or if I hold off for one of these.

That sled still has the original Assault rear suspension in it, and the trail sled steering post, so there is more to improve to make it more like an rmk. I think the running boards also sit lower so maybe something like those old skinz adjustable boards from the Pro-ride sleds would work to raise them upWell, shoot.

Front cooler or extra cooling required at times, as you still have to utilize some trail to get to the good stuff!Do you think Polaris will add a front cooler to the next RMK Pro if they chop the tunnel, to add back some cooling, especially with the new 2.75 lug track?
Do you have an 850 now? Would the 650 be your primary sled? I'm leaning towards a 650 as well just wondering your reasoning.Is it just me? Or did every sled in the Matryx platform GAIN weight vs their Axys sisters?
I really wanted a 650 RMK Matryx with the QD2 and series 8...
Maybe next year![]()
Tuneman, I hope you are correct!They did figure out an alternative to SHOT, surprisingly. I thought it would be impossible with semi-direct, but they rock the crank back and forth to push the fuel into the cylinder. It'll be out in 2022, likely along with the removable battery/key for the first start of the day. I'm also guessing mountain sleds will have a tether and no standard key. You didn't hear this from me.
No front cooler needed, just a finned design for more efficient cooling. Their current cooling setup didn't have much thought put into it...
its not moved, and why would you want it on the driveshaft? it would take up area in the footwell and make the sled need to be a little widerlooks like the brake is moved to the drive shaft, where it should of been in the first place. But its a confusing picture....looks like a starter on top of it and i cant seem to see either a chain case or belt drive so what gives. More pics would be great!!

Just really like the idea of still having a brake when you lose a belt or chain/chaincase in the back country. Been involved in being towed out of eagles with no brake, now thats a rodeo.its not moved, and why would you want it on the driveshaft? it would take up area in the footwell and make the sled need to be a little wider
Bahaha, wow!!! Negative on your guess, did have a few Doo's in the late 80's. Currently have a 2017 Turbo and a 2020 Khaos.Probably a skidoo rider. They believe everything Doo has done is the right way. Lol

So what you’re saying is you’re holding out for things that arent even being made yet? Confused...Body panels are 4"+ narrower ... Looks like engine is moved inboard slightly and exhaust is tighter so 2"+ on each side ..how much of a gain this translates to as stock Axys with react front end is pretty nimble ...at some point a single ski would prove preferable to a very narrow 2 ski set up. Would be great to see some testing on alternative front ends to see where the limits are ...next brand new sled for me will likely be either a factory snowbike style that is simpler, more powerful and lighter than a bike kit (if ever developed) or an electric sled that matches my Axys...till then I'll probably stay with current setup.

What goes up must come down!!! Brake only needed on the crazy stupid downhill descents. Then rider hops back on with another sled.Towing should not involve a brake on the towed sled.
Tie the ski loops to the back bumper and tow it without a rider.

damn brp must be breaking lots of chain if they need the brake there for that reason.Just really like the idea of still having a brake when you lose a belt or chain/chaincase in the back country. Been involved in being towed out of eagles with no brake, now thats a rodeo.
