I was a little underwhelmed with today's announcement. Looks like I'll be waiting to see what they do with the 2014, maybe see if I can get that seat and running boards retrofitted though...

I've seen this with Doo in the past. They have the chance to put there foot on the competition's throat and finish them off but "spread" out the technology over a period of a couple years and it always lets the other guys back in the game. A higher hp engine by Polaris this year would have given them some breathing room. Now we wait for the Doo....................

Pretty pumped on the running boards and the Belt drive, but I have to say that this morning's unveiling was pretty disappointing.
I have wondered for many years why the big four didn't go to a belt drive a long time ago. Anyone know why they wouldn't? To me it seems like it would be cheaper than building a chaincase and more efficient, so what was holding them back for all these years?

looks good but i'm not sure if poo needs to be worrying about more lightweight especially in the a-arm side of things those a-arms on last years model and the year before were junk! hopefully these new ones can withstand a mogul on the trail! finally a running board with some cutouts that is a good one to have forsure! I'm still trying to figure out how people say the doo doesnt handle worth a chit Do the proper rding technique of WRONG FOOT forward and that sled is so FLICKABLE! lol to bad they didnt realase a new powerful motor i almost went to talk to the dealer. guess we wait till 2014 but gotta say the sled is finally heading in the right direction unlike the cat group. looks like it is gonna be another DOO VS POO battle again this year

What he really meant to say is it looks cool, but I not sure its any different then the chain case.
I'm not totally sold on this sled being any better then a 2011 or 2012. They need to spend some time in the RnD department for the motor.

No no... It's "MOST" flickable.
don't worry...its flickable

I thought afterwards I might change it...or screen shot the image from their promo vid...but really, do I want something that says, the most flickable in its class, or the most hp in its class?
417lbs is impressive, I won't disagree. If a new Summit could break a true 420lbs for a 154 X, that would be impressive.
I'm still glad I didn't jump ship when the Pro came out

The 2013 should be an even better sled than the 2012. The question is.....will it be better than the Doo for 2013? We will see in another week. Seems to me the lack of a motor announcement today has the Poo guys asking questions. I hope Doo doesn't stub there toe in a week.

Hopefully that price includes the cost of the trip, if not then I believe Polaris made a big mistake on their pricing. They held the top spot the last couple of years with a great product at a good price.

Exactly what I was thinking. The Pro is a fantastic sled but perhaps the best thing about it how much less they sell for than the Cat and Doo. Locally the Pro's are under $11g right now while the Cat's and Doo's are still at full sticker of $14g+

It does include the trip. Question is, how much is the trip?

My thoughts exactly. I'm a little disappointed there's no power increases. The other improvements are very cool, but considering they already have the lightest chassis, the number one thing that would have convinced me to upgrade from my '12 is a healthy power increase. My '12 is officially off the market. Who knows, maybe Doo will have a new, lightweight chassis that handles a lot more like a Pro.
