WONDER IF THERE IS A NEW AXYS RACE SLED THIS YEAR AT HAYDAYS TO REPLACE THE IQR

[mountainhorse]

Haydays is always the place we see new race sleds revealed.

I'm wondering if polaris has any tricks up their sleeve this year.

I've seen the "AXYS-Look" bodywork kits bolted to an otherwise standard IQR...
So... I'm wondering if the 'Full Evolution' has happened this year.

Anyone going to Haydays... please take some GOOD photos and post them up... see if you can get some good detailed pix with the hood open too!

I'm headed out and will bring the camera this year. I'll see what I can find out.

I'm kinda hoping that this is an all new sled...then we'll get to see some tricked out mountain versions of it!!

I'd love to see an all new chassis as well. I am slightly doubtful since the 'Rush/Pro" chassis hasn't been a sno-x sled and now the "Axys" chassis hasn't yet. I know there are many geometry similarities to the IQ throughout them but seems to me emphasis is not on sno-x like it used to be. (also the IQR seems to do very well still). Case in point I'm curious if the gen4 rev will be a sno-x sled or continue with the current XP/XM. Guess we'll find out in few days!

It would be cool to see a new race chassis!! But......then my current IQR would at minimum need a face lift and get the new body, if possible.

FDX... they have a kit for that... update the old IQR plastic to the new AXYS style.

I don't have part numbers... but I'm sure someone on here would.

still the IQ chassis, just will have new body panels..

the axys chassis cannot hold up to the abuse of a snocross track...which is unfortunate.

If it did hold up everyone would complain about the weight.. My old 600RR with the 600ho engine was 475 dry I believe.

The IQR has been replaced with the new 600R. New body work,new exhaust, new steering,new digital message gauge,redesigned footrest, and a new clutch setup. Mostly a further refined IQR,don't fix whats not broken and still winning races!

having raced snocross for eight years, I can say, snocross is the toughest on snowmobiles.

If I had a parts list of the dollar amount of parts I broke..**** would be north of $100k.

The axys chassis would be amazing on a snocross track...for about 1 lap, before it folded in half.
