PRO-RMK -vs- XP ETEC 800 head to head

[trench]

So far I haven't seen one thread that helps the debate. I own a XP, but am a Polaris fan at heart. Ever since the Poo came out with the 900 turd, it has been playing catch up to CAT and DOO. This BS about they are about the same up hill has got to stop. There will be only one winner. I am truly rooting for the polaris to beat the XP, but after seeing what my XP would do the last few years I don't think it will happen. There wasn't a stock sled that could come close. I will find out this week at Cooke City though. Just my honest opinion. I will also agree that there is an unfair advantage to the XP for its large footprint.

This BS about they are about the same up hill has got to stop.

Well I got news for you... It will never stop ..why there are to many variables.
I have ridden with xp's since they first came out . I ride mostly my 07 d7 with pipe gearing and a ce 155 . Most of the time my 700 will beat or be the same as the xp's in the deep hills . As far as foot print the 146's should be the same as 155 are not even close , mostly stuck at the bottom some where...

Oh by the way we now ride with a new 163 pro and it kills us badly .
But still have not ridden with the new etec , I think the variables will win....

I know of many Pro's that now have well over a 1,000 miles on them. I think you may be jumping the gun a bit.

Mine has 800 miles on it and the piston skirt broke off. Took out the whole motor. The motors are on back order. You think with polaris's track record they would have back up motors. I love this sled and I just want to go riding.
