Does this mean their will be more new models yet when the full lineup is released?

I would like to see a single seated 156"x1,5" pro widetrak 600 cfi for deep forest excursion. we don't have big mountains

i heard someone in Id has been playing with a demo and made it a 660

Looks like a good move for Polaris.

That small block 600 has always been a strong solid and reliable performer. I remember when it came out in 2000 and it was a screamer!

That is code for "Yes, but I work for Snowest and signed an agreement with Polaris not to tell."

From what I am hearing there are some suprises yet to come....

I wish the pro's would come with a Different seat similar to the m-sleds new seat. I just love all the waterproof storage in those new M seats. Sure you could "buy" external bags and such, but most aren't waterproof.....and they're just plain ugly.

That would be nice, the problem is the M tank is more like the old Polaris Edge tank - most all of the tank is in front of the seat built in to the console.

On the IQ and newer Polaris sleds, almost half the capacity of the tank is directly under the seat... gives more balanced proportions, but at the cost of not having that under-seat availability.

Shouldn't this be posted in the POLARIS section?

When will we see a Direct Injection 800 from Polairs???? Anything in the hopper for 2012?

I don't understand this big fixation with D.I when discussing the Polaris line-up for the last few years... Many people saying "I'm waiting for Polaris to release a DI motor before jumping in on a new sled" ....

Some things to consider... DI adds weight, complexity and cost to the sled.

Sure... I know about the advantages that D.I. may offer... but is that really needed when you look at the big picture???

You will need special tools to work on it and modding/turbo'ing will be a huge challenge... Being able to "Mod" a sled does not really make a difference to the factory when considering their builds outside of racing... which has become a more "stock based" than ever.

On the Doos... the 800's were all previously carbed and BRP owned the E-Tec design already in their Evinrude division... made sense.

I've heard many people talk about DI as a system that is "Closed Loop".... But doubt that you would see a closed-loop 2-Stroke DI system from any mfg in the near future... would most likely be a speed/density setup like the Doo E-Tec.

On the Polaris with the Kokusan Denki CFi system... I don't see, other than EPA concerns, what the practical advantage, for the consumer, would be with direct injection for the time-being??

Polaris already had a DI setup on the Watercraft triples. Other companies have DI on two strokes... Direct Injection IS an advance in tech-application... It may be possible to tune a DI system to make more power, but that would have to be weighed against cost and practicality. If the CFi system meets the EPA regs and makes good power is this necessary?? Maybe yes...maybe no... Improvements cost money... Sleds already cost a fair amount... A Doo Freeride E-Tec costs $13k plus. How bout a ProRide in that price range?
