Overall I like the design and what Polaris has done for this sled.
Only one thing bugs me - the recoil handle looks like it good knock off your kneecap.
Why couldn't they intergrate it into the plastic a bit more so it was a little more flush? The simple things that they always seem to miss............

Humm I like, 431lbs and possibly 160hp how did your buddy like it, did he comment on the power?
Good for you Polaris.
once again you've packaged a product that others came up with years ago,such as eliminating the coil over shocks, and all your coustomers eat it up as something new.
Come on polaris people start demanding inovation.

He is coming off of an edge chassis, so take it for all it's worth I guess..:LOL
"It's a total different chassis, more like the rush front end, like 430-435 lbs, can't tell for sure but 150hp easy, wicked track speed in deep powder...this will be the ch!t that gets them back on top I think.. engine placement is awesome, plus there is room under the hood for Noz and or turbo, only place that you will need to drop a few pounds is the EPA size muffler."

So what doo you mean by " eliminating the coil over shocks " ??? Rode the 011 today at the demo. Had coil overs front and back, no torsion springs in the rear, we had the 155 model. Climbs as well as my 010 163 Dragon but way more easy to carve and maneuver. Sure the shorter track has some to doo with this but the shock package was the big improvement. Rear skid is much improved. Throttle up and the sled gets on top almost instantly, great transfer. Trail manners are good , no dipping and diving. They wouldn't say alot about HP rating but to wait till march. The sled I rode had instant power, no hiccup, no bog. There was one sled there that had a hesitation according to those who rode it ? Over all a much improved sled IMHO. The ride to me compared alot like my Revs only lighter. Dino

2011 Polaris 800 Pro RMK 155 Snowmobile : Specifications & Price
Looks like for now, they're only promoting the 155. Likely because it's the popular pick for climbing & boondockin' the back country!

INNOVATION? INNOVATION? the rush chassis has been tested since 2001. the biggest secret that Polaris had! originally call the blackjack, with fatman suspension. This is the most innovative chassis since IFS!! Or dont you remember that Polaris was the first to produce that? 8 years of testing and perfecting a chassis before they put it on the customer has me erasing the failed 800 engine in my books!
The Pro RMK chassis was the blackjack and has been engineered top to bottom to make it rigid and light. Tested since 2001!!???? now who was first to make this style of chassis?

dealer told me it is even easier to carve this new chassis and yes the engine has been redone along with the fuel system, according to the reps this sled has been in the works since the 900 fiasco

the chassis on this sled has been in the works sinse 2001.
I call bs,
If they wanted to one up on the industry, they would have done this in 2004(REV), or 2005(900 poo), when DOO came up with the REV. the 900 says it all IMO.
Goos luck POL. Glad there is something out there that has a run or the $$$

My absolute, positively, favorite thing about this new polaris, will be the look on the face of my buddies that just bought the 2010s and paid too much. This will drive them nuts, as they were certain there were no big changes for 2011.
Oh, it's always the little joys that mean so much. And it's funny cuz it's not me.

I do agree the Pro RMK may not be innovating, completely, but the Rush is! When the first Rev come out with that beaver tail, mistake or not, is was innovating, same with the Rush.
Next, is there pricing on these things yet, I don't want a shock, like the Yammers or the Doos.
