New for 2012?!

[gman086]

So this dude says 2012 spindles are lighter and make steering easier?! Any truth to that? http://www.polarisindustries.com/en...11-B516-0050569A00BB&WT.mc_ev=email&WT.mc_id=

And he says the outer running board strip has better traction; looks exactly like my '11 and those traction strips tear the hell outta my boots and pants!

Comments?

Have FUN!

Spindles are same part numbers so I'm not sure??. And yes the running boards spikes have a extra row in the 12's.

A arms and spindles on Rush models are different from last year.

A arms and spindles

Hey,
Comparing my 12' Assault to last years, i can see some changes in geometry on the a arms, looks like they lined up the ball joints, moved the upper forward a hair... and reinforced the ball joint. As for the spindles themselves, I beleive last years were cast, and this year they are machined, I know my dealer told me they are supposed to steer 50% easier... I havent had any snow to prove one way or the other though...

Polaris web site shows spindles are the same part number as last year. The upper A arm part number is unique to this years Assault (maybe color). Lower A arm is same arm as last years Rush.

Gee...

Marty is said "Very similar geometry to previous RMK's"

The A-arms are the same as the 2009/10 RMK's

He is talking about the IQ "previous RMK" ... and that the spindle is different from the IQ-RMK to the PRO-RMK.

Hope this helps.
