Unless you have a can the Muffpot must go on the pipe near the bulkhead. I made a mount and installed one on a 600 Axys. If you remove the belt holder it can be reached opening left side door without removing the middle section of plastic.
Any thoughts on if the Cast aluminum A-arms will shear before damage is done to the bulkhead. I liked that feature on my last 3 RMKS. I have sheared them on 2 of the RMKs with out any damage to Bulkhead. Ski-doo could take a lesson here.
They're forged. Forging should bend more than cast before breaking; but will also be stronger so there may still be issues with bend tunnels/bulkheads. The bracing looking stiffer but time will tell.
Can anyone verify that the new pro taper handlebars are narrower? If so, anyone know by how much?
I always felt that the current pro tapers were always to wide and unnatural feeling. Ive always preferred the standard rmk bar for this reason.
Thanks..PR

Well the bulkhead is cast so it should hold up until it snaps and breaks.

Per the #axyschat last night, they said 1 inch narrower.

Can anyone confirm if the hoops in the footwell are high enough to allow your foot to roll out if needed. I've got my foot caught in the foot well before as the sled rolled the opposite direction. This is not a performance issue but it's always bothered me about the current over structure design.
I'm certain I covered these three items, but I'll repeat due to lots of posting since I said it.
yes they are designed to give and break off before damage is done to the bulkhead
yes, they are narrower by 1 inch on each side
The side plastic of the body panel does not wrap around as far and it is now more open, which makes it easier for your boots to roll out of in a good way

thank you, Mountainhorse, this bears repeating.
If you think you are missing a 3-inch track or other options, what was released yesterday is only the base model. Much more to come on March 2

Can you tell us Scott is there a Terrain Dominator edition in store for snow check?
Couple of questions I didnt see get an answer:
Gear Ratio: 2.25 I believe was what they told us.
Footwell is larger: size 13 Klim adrenaline and no issues getting them jammed in or caught.
bars: narrow bars feel great. I narrowed up my 15 bars so I felt right at home.
Muff Pot: the sidepanels and hood come off so easy now, you can put the muffpot right up by the Y-Pipe. Plenty of room there and easy access.
IMO the trail manners would be fixed by decent shox. I ran it pretty much WFO on the trail trying to keep up with Dan Adams and it handled decent, but shox would fix alot of the issues.
Downhill U turns and side to side outs. This sled with quick throttle response and lift turns on a dime on the hills. Super fun to play with because in tight trees its razor precise!
Cant even imagine what boost will be like

Yeah, so many people are posting, some of the answers have been buried.
Thanks for reviewing some of these, since they keep getting asked and answered and asked. Thanks Phatty.
My elaborations in red.

bars: narrow bars feel great. I narrowed up my 15 bars so I felt right at home. They said 1" on each side.
Muff Pot: the sidepanels and hood come off so easy now, you can put the muffpot right up by the Y-Pipe. Plenty of room there and easy access. Can strip all plastic off in almost literally 30 seconds.
IMO the trail manners would be fixed by decent shox. I ran it pretty much WFO on the trail trying to keep up with Dan Adams and it handled decent, but shox would fix alot of the issues. Yeah, it as pretty easy to SCREAM down the trail. I was more kind to it's trail manners than other test riders. A couple of turns on the front rail shock will heavy the skis up for better trail manners pretty quickly.

It really is kind of disappointing that that SW is giving into to this. You would think a post over 74 would drive membership being it's a new release. How about only paid members get the see whats' really going on and the rest get slop. I realize the amount I pay is very little, but I would also tell all the other budget friendly snowest users the same. I get beyond my moneys worth X 100 out of the site, but to cave during special times is the reason i support the site.
Cheers

Heres a side by side, its easier to see the difference i thought... notice how much thinner the tunnel is in the back. how much higher the nose pan is. and how much more of the track where it comes off the drivers u can see.
