Patriot 850 production

Anyone have a number or guess on how many 850s were snowchecked.

You didn't say it had to be a good guess.

I read somewhere it was close to 10,000 850s.

Rmk that number is higher than i would guess with large volume dealer mine came from in nd he only had 15. Im thinking under 3500.

I would think 10,000 RMK 850's would be a high number?

Think he was saying 850's across the board I know lots are getting there xc models and some sks already also

Asked my dealer in Ut a few days ago and he said they had 72 rmk 850 snowchecks. It was a lot more than I would have guessed.

There is around 120,000 sleds sold each year from 4 manufactures. Roughly 45,000 from Polaris, 10k models of it being their new flagship 850 seems reasonable to me. "Number I seen was actually between 97-9800"

western US is 10% of world sales = 980 in the west.

I believe he said “had” not “has” for what it’s worth.

I talked to a dealer the other day who said they have been getting calls from all over the country from people looking for an 850. Looks like Polaris was successful in applying a major marketing principle - create scarcity. : )

On the one 850 owners Facebook page some dude ordered 2 sleds and is only keeping one. Banking on people will pay for a 850 this fall/start of winter

I hope this is the case we won't be taking a big hit on resale for a 2020 Polaris. I'm all for snowchecking only for lasted a greatest no more blowout carryovers that are 2 years old.

I think we were told 8600 850's when I was at Haydays speaking with one of the Polaris employees.


That it was substantially higher than years past.

The dealers I've spoken with reported very robust snowcheck numbers.
Quite a bit above normal.

That's interesting because the dealers all had their allotments on 850's, which were limited and that's all they got. Our dealer here had 15 allotted 850 snowchecks and they were all TKO but in years past they have snowchecked well above that number and had better years. Obviously most guys "probably" snowchecked 850's, so with limited builds, how can snowcheck and production numbers be high ?? Then add in the amount of 18 holdovers, it just seems odd.

Not arguing or discrediting, it just seems counterintuitive with previous information we have received??

9600 ish. Thats all 850 models, not just Pro RMK.
