Polaris 2017 Speculation Thread

sledheader said:
Why do you want a new chassis and a new motor? Why do you think Polaris would release ANOTHER new chassis and new motor after they already did last year?

Going off what I have read there is a lot of people interested in a purpose built tree riding backcountry sled. I am sure that Timbersled was not purchased just for Poo to say the have a piece of the snowbike market. So there is where I could see a new chassis, narrow, centralized mass, single or narrow stance double ski, with a staggered lug height(deeper in the center) And new motor to power it, or looking at the timeline the 600 is due for a makeover...600 HO industry leading 130-ish hp...just a dream I am sure.
If they do release a new chassis it would no doubt be an eye-opener.

Just finished the 2017 Timbersled Reveal Thread.
Look for it to appear in the SNOWBIKE forum at the same moment the Polaris reveal thread opens up this evening.

I disagree. I don't think strength has anything to do with it. Have you seen a single belt failure of an axys belt drive? 900 hard miles on mine and the belt looks PERFECT

And maybe you are right strength isn't a problem but how come Polaris didn't install it on the 3" options this year? They all came with the chaincase. Just explain that. I know your 2.6 will be fine. I'm arguing that a 3 inch won't.

It was told by the engineers, and I believe it, that the gearing that they wanted for the 3" couldn't be achieved with the QD without the lower gear hanging down too far.

Yep.
I heard it STRAIGHT from the engineers in Jan 15 at the pre-release demo ride.

I believe you. I actually think I remember that too.

But what will make things any different this year then?

Hard to say. I recall noticing that they did NOT use the term "never" when using the terms QD and 3" track in the same sentence.

If I were you go to bed early and then enjoy a website that works again at 3am. LOL Because you can bet tonight it's going to crash......like they all do every year! :face-icon-small-con

I have some serious EYE CANDY for you guys in a couple hours.
Polaris provided me with a TON of Ultra-High res photos of the new sled in the backcountry. Some really gorgeous shots. having to edit and size every one of them to fit in our format. But I think you will enjoy all of them.

Will the release be on this forum? So I don't have to go chasing it?
