They have no midrange bog or runability issues whatsoever. I've put many miles on the new 800 in rush, switchback, and rmk trim at low and high altitudes and it runs great.
All the reliability issues with the old 800 have been fixed.
^I would love to see this video where you thought you "clearly heard" a bog. Please show me.

Problem is that peopel won't simply vote on what they really believe. They will vote on the colors they bleed.
I rode a Pro-R 155" with a high rpm bog. I hate to admit it cause I snow-checked a 163" after, but it fell on it's face at around 7200 riding fast on the trail if you stabbed the throttle. Not sure what it was, but the Poo boys scooped it up as soon as we hit the semi. I would guess they have it figured out and the production sleds will be slow but reliable.
Let it snow in the mountains!!!!!

This is true for those that rode the demo sleds, but not for all of us.
You were riding validation sleds as well.
Until the production sleds from the orders placed this year get some time on the snow in the consumers hands, through the consumer dealer network all the bad and good press now means nothing.
I spend a good amount of time on the Pro RMK chassis this season... The sled excelled in the handling and mountain riding department. The engine was strong, but then again, I was on a validation sled too.
Best stock sled I have ever ridden... bar none!!
My 2 cents.

Dyno-tech said 143hp right? Not sure on the # but some were in there.

SPEC CU LAY SHUN........ Till the sleds hit the snow for a while this spring.
Dynotech had that on a validation motor... not sure the numbers are right though.

I'd bet yours has a Carls map and porting in her before she hits the snow!!
But hey....Call me Mr. Vegas!!

If Polaris had good HP # for the new 800 engine they would advertise them!

Not necessarily so in this law-suit-happy society we live in... fellow sledders.

If it only boiled down to the max posted Hp number, how do you suppose the muscle car craze would have progressed? If Mopar showed the max number with a dual carbed Hemi versus a big block Camaro or Mustang, would they all just either buy the Hemi, or sit on the curb and hang their head? No, they buy what they like for their own reason, likely modify it and then have a ball thrashing and bashing. Sleds are no different. Personally, I like the challenge of pushing myself and the sled so the biggest sled may not be what I need. Would it change if the manufacturer of my sled posted the Hp? Doubt it, I like how it rides. If I want more power, I pay for it either with a bigger motor, different brand possibly or add-ons.
