They probably have their own marketing team, and probably run like a sister company.
I have said this before, I would expect an update to the motor performance. Whether that's larger bore/displacement or boost, the HO has been better than the previous liberty.
I would expect a 36-37" option. The apparent taller spindles could be in conjunction with that. Shorter a arms would be stronger and reduce chances of bending. Many guys want a 36" stance. I don't believe it's needed but neither is T-Motion on a G4 but it makes it better/easier for average riders. So why not offer it. Gets something new and improves a arm strength.
Polaris gained on Doo last year in sales. Mountain segment is still the larger of the segments at about %30. Not everyone wants a turbo but a snow check only option to add a turbo to the mountain sleds is going to avoid being in a displacement battle with Doo. Why go to a 858 when you can just add reliable low boost. 4psi on pump fuel controlled to eliminate pre det at higher rpm for safety margins. Sure I might consider one.

I for one have no interest in a 2 stroke turbo, making a short lived motor even have a shorter life is not what I'm interested in at all. Not to mention taking the reliability factor to an all new low. There is no such thing as a pull and go 2 stroke turbo, no matter how many people want to try and live that dream...
Have you ever ridden a 2 stroke turbo?
I'll put a couple pistons in every couple thousand miles for that much more fun factor!

Keep driving the truck looking in the rearviews and you are sure to miss what is actually around you...
Tell us how you really feel....
The aftermarket 2 stroke turbos are pretty damn reliable and simple to operate. I believe that they are true pull and go systems. There is no reason that I can think of that a factory built turbo would not be even better. At least you would get some warranty too. Guys are getting impressive performance and reliability out of the kits that are out there. I just didn't want to spend $5,000 for one on top of the price of the sled. I don't really need the turbo power unless they make one for me too but if I was 40, I would probably have one.
well the video is now gone.......saw a picture of a Titian XC, on HCS. I'm confused

That's called a 2 stroke tune up.
From the looks of it, Polaris pulled the video...
I'm From Michigan and I can tell you these Sleds Rip when they have all the air they can breath ..
A Turbo on a 5-7# spring is about 2-3# here so I guess you are both correct ! If your in the mountains the Boost is doing little more than our normal Atmospheric Pressure ..
Now a Boosted Two Stroke of more than 7# is getting into the definitely not going to live very long situation..
The Builders of the turbos are not going to feild calls from customers with the your kit blew my sled up anymore so the kits with 7+# are now referred to as Race Gas or a cooler added at the very least to increase the volume so the charge is less intense on run of the mill components and Tolerances!!

After 60 is when we really need them / so much less effort !
Maybe. However, I went the snowbike route and it is definitely easier on the body (usually). I can't justify having both a sled and the bike right now. The bike is definitely a blast and easier on the body compared to a mountain sled.
