As M.H. previously stated, a 163" SKS would be nice.
A machine built around L.H.'s specs. would be the ultimate & maybe even a reason for me ditch my old 2 ski. LOL

Polaris had offered factory wrap options in the past.
It's been a couple years, but I expect that may surface again.
I expect it to be longer.
Refinements to the chassis.
MAYBE lighter.
Timbersled:
When KTM and Polaris had their partnership a few years ago in the 4 stroke quads, did they break ties with each other or what happened? Will Polaris enter into a new partnership with them or BUY them?
The skinny sled discussion had been around for awhile... is this the year it will surface?

A particular sled, or just the engine in general?
Could 2017 be the year that they FINALLY give us......
Ski Bilge Pumps!!! To pump out the water that accumulates in the valleys of the skis.

With a comment like that I see a new "XCR" in the mix for this year. Though an updated 600 would be a nice addition to the line up.
Also see a 144/146" crossover in the axys chassis, though the current sba is a tough act to follow.
With the release of the 2015 Standard RMK snow check model... which was loaded with features and a 163 track option at a bargain price. I think that Polaris Industries realized that buyer were willing to pay a PREMIUM for this package...and thus we got the SKS.
.
Basically a cheaper version of the SKS? Standard bars and controls, non rebuildable shocks, can't think of many other differences.

prob see a 174 3.4 inch. hopefully a chaincase not the belt

Ski-doo has several years on the etec and now the 850. They have finally focussed the last 4-5 years on making a trail sled a mountain sled by slapping on components to make it handle like a true mountain sled. They had to pull the skis in toward the center, flex edge track, add t-motion all in efforts to compete with Polaris mountain sled engineers that design specifically for its purpose. The Polaris Chassis works so well most riders that ride polaris are willing to forgo the etec and possibly the 850 to ride the best working chassis in the business. However, the new Doo is looking to be headed in a very competitive direction.
My hope is Polaris doesn't copy all the bandaids other manufactures had to resort to to get their sled on par. If so it may take some of the versatility out of the sled. Thoughts?

If u watch the sxs competion goin on between pol and brp one upping eachother,we can expect the same from thier sledding division. On latest snowtrax tv , the development manager for axys gave a run down on the axys (chek it out on utube) and he said with a grin theres more to come.
Also check out the 3inch shootout on snowtrax tv on utube.

That would be good. 600 SHO!
Local dealer has had 3 SKSs sitting on the floor all season. They are either priced to high or no one wants it? Bring the price down with some compromises and you have a winner. JMO.
My wife likes her SKS. The price was high, but the dealers around here are dropping prices. I got mine for a great deal.
that wouldn't happen here in the midwest. Extra SKS sno-checks on the floor were gobbled up so fast it wasn't funny.
In reality... the on-bar controls are not less expensive... the shocks are ...but not as much as you might think in terms of mfg costs.
.
be nice to see a factory turbo or 900+cc motor....
The 800cc power plant... is probably the lightest most compact powerplant out there...with the least amount of inertial influence over the sled of any of the sleds out there...
That is HUGE... sure you can make more power with a bigger motor... but what is the trade-off??. and just how important is that to you as a rider?
I have a 2007, 80mm stroke, 900 Dragon... and had a 700 Dragon at the same time... in the same chassis... that 700 sure was a lot better to throw around... and they were within 10 lbs of each other on the shop floor.
