Typically see these kind of releases for the last year of a chassis program, of course. Last two Poo new chassis releases were on short-tracks, first, but given the shift in new sled sales by region, and riding styles, they are just as likely to intro the next RMK chassis in 2021.
Big picture - sled biz may be hitting another inflection point in it's history, with low volumes and high prices at last condensing real new product into a handful of years, while the two lower volume players try to sort out there sales and channel issues. We'll know in three years looking in the rear view mirror.
Rebranding the Assault, if that's what it really is, just marketecture, and competing with the Freeride and Hardcore dollars. I have to believe they've lost share in the segment, and think a new dress will help get her more dates.
