QD Belt or Chain case option for 2.6 or 3" new a arm and powder coated tunnel, skid, and a arms. With lots of snow check options such as walker or fox and were gonna give you a golden ticket
I'll be snow checking if this happens.

^^^ times 2, in the Axys Pro Rmk with the 2.7 inch track

We have 7 of them in our group. Went out west after christmas and saw several in rabbit ears.
Correct. Never understood how the cheaper RMK had the good controls. I guess they had cheaper bars than the aluminum Pro Tapers. Maybe that offset it.
Practical refinements to a great chassis:
Better, more efficient cooling system that doesn't create snow accumulation problems - that we all know exist but are afraid to admit because that would be giving in to the Cat guys.
A new drive shaft that doesn't have a collar.
An adjustable belt drive. Gear ratio options from the factory to go with it.
Sub 400 lbs dry weight from the factory.(simply improve the muffler and you are there)
Coated A-Arms to help with the snow accumulation problem. (personally I like the fact that they are bendy - I have a friend with a Doo that still isn't fixed because something bent down deep instead of the A arm)
And .... BNG!! LOL

One word - weight
I'm hoping for a belt drive 3.25 or 3.5 inch track
Shave some more weight
More HP
But then again, who doesnt want these things

Factory turbo with the 174 comming on the axyz, i see is a big step for Polaris.. It will be the game changer, guessing for 18999$..
Better electronic connectors, better Quailty control on the TPS, titanium spring option, ti bolts where practical for more weight savings and less rotating mass (clutch, suspension etc). Lite weight starter, foam filled handlebars, better lower a-arms, better scratchers
I'm hoping polaris and doo will throw in a little cash for some hooked on phonix for freddyw. I think my 4 year old nephew can spell better then he can. Every time I read a post from Freddy I don't know what's funnier, his horrible grammar or that skidoo that is shoved so far up his a$$ that he spits yellow. Don't think I've ever seen a guy more threatened by other brands that he has to trash everything out there.
Your last 58 replies has been how Polaris is done and may as well shut there doors and it's game over cuz this new doo is the shi%. Now Polaris has a factory turbo coming out and is a game changer? lmao

tell fred to put a cork in it and it will be civil. nobody likes the replies or the crap he has to offer and does these forums absolutely no good.
On the other hand it's going to be an exciting year next year. I rode my 16 axys and a demo 174 doo and loved both sleds. If I had to choose it would take one of each. But I ended up snow checking a 17 165 doo. So should be a good year next year. Have the axys, and gen 4 in the trailer to ride.

Would love 36" arms and 174"x3" track, belt drive.
my honest opinion is if my axys had a 174 3" it would have outdone the 174 doo. We were riding in silent pass last weekend and had 3 foot of fresh when I rode both. Axys is a sweet setup for sure.
you have the 900 in the 07'?
did you get the counter balanced crank kit too?
where did you get your rolling raw chassis?
when I saw the stroke of the new 850 SD was 80.4mm I thought of the 9 and when I saw engagement at 3800n redline at 7900
I'd be happy with them getting a grip on the ongoing QC issues;
Aluminum Drive shaft: Spline fit, bearing stub end fitment, glue interface tolerance. The ones I've disassembled to build my own have been all over the board. Even a novice machinist on manual equipment could get better results.
The electrical system: Quit outsourcing this to China! Or at least provide tighter specs. So you / we get a quality product back. The quality of the components and the quality of the build needs to be greatly improved to avoid the gremlins that result in soiling your reputation.
Carbon fiber: If you are going to call it Carbon Fiber then deliver Carbon Fiber! Not the Faux Chinese Carbon Fiber you have been using to date that is really fiberglass top coated with one layer of Carbon Fiber. I can and have bought the exact same Faux "Carbon Fiber" tube on E-bay for $10/ 6 ft. Why do you charge $300-400 for the same part? The cast aluminum lugs and assembly do not cost $150-200. Quit raping us! I can and have re-tubed the front structure with Titanium tube for under $100 and it is just as light as your Faux Carbon Fiber, without any concern of failure.
There are more but I'll leave it at that.
"The Devil is in the details" Iron those out and none of the other manufactures have a chance of catching up. Ignore the details and they will crucify you.

I can see a narrow ski stance coming.
I really thought Polaris would fix their TPS issues with this new engine.. to me it is their biggest downfall. Which honestly isnt much in the grand scheme of things. But to have the best sled out there these are things consumers shouldnt have to deal with. Fix those issues and im back on a polaris.
