No, I think I'm right...you can't get the 155 LE in a 3".
Poo still has the sled to beat, next season we will see if the Doo is a contender or pretender. 10 people who actually ride a 174 keep saying they need to make one. So now Poo is going to find out just how tiny that market is. They can't reinvent the wheel every year, you guys had to realize there will be nothing ground breaking for a couple of years, maybe not until they release the next chassis. Until then I'd be happy riding the lightest production sled on the planet!!!

I figured it would be a quiet year for polaris on here. But I was hoping in the press release it would mention a few more of the changes that were actually made. did the A arms change? Did they do any updates to the motor like they seem to do every year? new, tighter tolerances on pistons or rings? TPS settings changed?
Once you go 174 you will not go back.. Been there done that
But that big track takes some big torque.. Not sure in stock fourm it will get to its full potential..

SBA 144
Why the Switchback assault so heavy ,,,,10 lbs more than the switchback 137 pro-s

What makes it a LE ?

Changes?
What did they change on the 155 pro rmk this year?

ehhhhhh
Why is everyone so opposed to the chain case? You can switch back and forth between a sks and pro rmk both with 2.6 and never notice any difference.
I think the reason everyone likes the 2.6 vs the 3.0 is not because of the drive system, but the clutching is entirely set up for a 2.6 with no changes for the 3.0 track... There is no way they can pull that off with a 174 without re clutching it so maybe that sled will work pretty decent.
So... still have the ****ty A arms.... new colors.... and that's it unless your looking for a 174" or a SBA 144". Pretty much exactly what I expected minus I thought a SKS 144" would exist. They don't have anything to improve on yet (except the a arms really) and they wont change that.
Polaris wants you guys to LOVE the belt drive because its a replaceable part that only they can sell you! same with the A arms. That's why their arms have a weak failure point.. so they can sell us another one. A chain case goes and that's $$$$ warranty money on them as well!
Well glad my 2016 is holding its value. I'll be keeping it for another year. Haven't been on the snowcheck site yet, but I like my graphics and the other 2016 ones more than the 2017 styles I've seen so for except for that grey one, that one is really cool!
Switch the side panels and call a 2016 axys rmk a 2017? lol

That's what I get also.....
piggyback shocks, PIDD Gauge, Standard Storage Bags, Extreme front and Rear Bumpers, Cool Graphics,
That's about $1700 in accessories over the regular Snowcheck, and the msrp on the 163x3" is $800 More, $1000 difference for the 155" (which is only the 2.6 track), so if you want all of that stuff, it'll save you a little cash
A stock sled doesn't go as good as a mod sled?????
Wtf........... Who would have thought......
More than I thought. Didn't expect a 174. Everyone knew it would be bng and they will get the few little quirks fixed without saying anything. If they say something that means there was a problem. Bummed there is no 3 inch 155 but I have mine. As far as the belt drive, it is a gimmick. Cheaper for them to build and they get more money out of you for it. I tried dragging my wife's 2.6 out of the trailer vs. My 3 inch and there is no difference. My old cmx belt drive there was a huge difference.
Colors look good. I will just boost what I have.

The Switchback Assault is a complete let down. Was really hoping that Polaris would come out with something to compete with the Freeride but it's just a trail sled with a 2" track. Looks like it might be time to switch brands

There is a 3" 155
I realy get a kit out of everyone that doesn't think quick drive is better for performance. I think Polaris should make a heavier track it will be same performance.
Kind of what I expected. A 174 coming but I already knew that.
I see we gained 1 lb. from last year? The 155" 2.6 belt drive was 407lbs. last year and 408lbs. this year.
Maybe they are waiting 1 more year to be the first to unveil the sub-400lb sled.
They are so close.
