What are you snowchecking?

My buddies letter was dated September 9, 2014. It said the sled had shipped from the factory and to allow 2 to 3 weeks for arrival at the dealership. It also said to call your dealer and arrange a time for set up and pick up. Sounds like that information was on the money as he picked it up in early October.
Don't you mean Axys RMK?

No I mean PRO RMK verses the standard model RMK. The PRO RMK is in the new AXYS chassis for MY16. The standard MY16 RMK is however in the PRO chassis. Confusing, yes.

Confirmed my snowcheck and put down my deposit.
SKS 800 155 Voodoo Blue, black tunnel, blue rails, 2.6 inch track no ES, High rise bars, and tether.
Mountain sleds sales must be doing great. I am in Michigan and all but 2 sleds snow checked at my dealer are SKS and ProRMK's. Only 1 Polaris trail sled and 1 Yamaha trail sled. They told me not 1 Arctic Cat has been snow checked. They wonder if they will continue to carry them seeing how Cat wants them to take 62 of them.

Just snowchecked my first polaris yesterday ended up getting the 155 3" black with blue accents blue rails and spindles low bars low windshield standard gauge and 2 year warranty. It was a very hard decision for me to make as I liked the changes cat did and with all my mods I could have reused on a new doo
Gotta hand it to poo marketing and manufacturing engineering, they've finally delivered on the spring order mass customization, configure-to-order, options. It's worked for them for two years now, pulling more spring orders in by allowing the customer to order a perceived 'custom' sled. This isn't rocket science in the OEM biz, and was pitched to both AC and doo in the late 90's. We'll see if they are motivated to offer the same in the next couple of seasons. With the price of sleds now, and the unpredictability of snow, getting the new sled buyer to flip a year or two earlier, every buy cycle, is really golden.
Just got a confirmation from Polaris on my new snowcheck. Axys Pro RMK, 163" x 3", Voodoo Blue, black tunnel, blue rails & spindles, high bars. Rode Cat for the last 30 years, but I just can't justify brand loyalty anymore with the snow performance difference. Surly I'm grown up enough now to handle the brand change!
Got the confirmation on mine. First snow check and I can't wait. Voodoo blue Assault 3" with blue rails and spindles. Added a tether & some storage, will pick up a can, and look forward to burning some gas this winter!
Received my confirmation from polaris on the 7th. Ordered the 800 PRO RMK LE 163, 3" - SC, black/orange, with black panted tunnel + rails, and clicker shocks.
It's going to be a looooooooong summer my friends

Went riding today and ran into the Polaris Team tuning the AXYS-
Mostly had the Assult 163 -3.0 and a few 163 2.6
Not to friendly- but They did discuss changing the airbox and a positioning more vents in the Hood- clutching was finished / they were refining the suspension.
Alot of wires coming under from the hood and a GPS under the hood-
Looked really great seeing it on the snow sitting tall in the front and MAN thin viewing it from the rear following it up a steep slope and taking it into a few high runs-
Pretty stoked to see them testing and refining the sled in the area of where I ride 99% of the time.Made a guy feel good to tune in your own back yard!
BTW ordered the Pink ribbon Rider / Black ( soon to be blacked out) 163 2.6 with the new display- 2year warranty / and 4 year conorstone warranty- Burant boards and the high bars..... Got my confirmation email same day I checked it-- Hope to see it around Late November / at least I won't pick it up till I am Ready!
Pretty stoked to see the new AXYS climb where I just got through riding today @ 9500'

My first Polaris, previously rode Yamaha Mountain Max's, and lately Summits. Sure hope it treats me as well as the Ski-doo's have.
Ordered a 800 Pro RMK, 163/2.6, black with silver, unpainted tunnel, black rails, mid bars, standard gauge and shocks, and low windshield. Gonna add the brushed HD front bumper.

Hey Sage, what did you think about having the 163 2.6 and 3.0 side by side?
