Did I miss something?
Let me put in my prediction. No change to the chassis at all but maybe a new power plant option added. WAY too soon to abandon a chassis that keeps getting better and lighter. If they drop in a motor that puts out a true 160hp in this amazing chassis it will be perfection.

cs5 this is not a prediction but infact the truth. Next season pro's are going to be on par powerwise to the other two brands. One can only assume what will happen from there. This is the reason i kept my 2012 I cannot wait.

This is what I heard from a reliable source but I cant say for certain thats that is exactly what is going to happen. It obviously sounds very farfetched but I would like to think my resource is somewhat credible. I thought I would share what I have heard for discussion on these forums.
I guess we can make this a prediction thread or a things you'd like to see in the 2014 machine.

Maybe it will get the teeter totter suspension as compensation for when Doo starts glueing their sleds together. When they Doo it, it will be the greatest thing ever!!! LOL
There you go, wrecking a good thread again.
Just can't stand it when there isn't any controversy?

If any manufacturer could get rid of the hidden "tree magnet", the other 3 would surely parish..........

Hey what the heck it could happen. When I first heard rumors of the T motion I didn't think it could be possible. Maybe Polaris is gonna set a new bar?

How much weight would a second track add to a sled? I'm guessing it would be like 2 snowbike skids under there to keep overall width down, but personally want nothing to do with it. I do agree that this is the year Polaris may put out a more powerful engine under the hood. If that is the case, I'll be waiting another year before trading in my 12.

i'm guessing to 8 inch tracks that tilt to the outside? I have no idea how they could do that. My bet is more hp in the Pro chassis we see now.
More HP and a decent track, at least a 2.5

This is the Polaris forum right? Do you ride a Polaris? The vast majority of controversy on this brand specific forum starts and ends with all you Doo riders feeling the need to voice your opinion. Why can't you guys just continue to keep stroking each other d$cks on your own brand specific forum! I would imagine most Polaris riders could see the humor in my post, sorry if it offended you.

Would they have to tilt out? They could just have independent suspension, that should work. They could share the same drive shaft, and have the rest of each skid pivot as they do now. Trail riding would be an absolute nightmare up to the mountain, but it would sidehill well. Totally agree that more hp is very likely for next year, and a stock 2.5 track would be awesome.

I just have a hard time with a drive axle moving. It would have to work something like you are thinking Wilk.

Yah I take some issue with the response to my post, making a joke and Cuso has to be ignorant, what exactly am I wrecking? And another attemt at an ignorant post from a Doo rider, even though it makes no sense, no surprise I guess.

Ahh Mach123,
He is just a one track mind person that probably only rides with his own brand.
It's kinda immature and shallow to see people like this...Name calling and all...(doofuses) LOL
Trench, unfortunately has an inferiority complex, and this is a way he can deal with it. Too bad he insists that this subject can only be discussed by polaris riders.
Anyways..
I think 2 tracks would not be a good idea, just because you would need basically 2 sets of everything, thus meaning more weight.
I would bet that the suspension could be made that both rails are independent, like each rail in the back has it's own suspension, and not fixed together with just a pivot.
Independant, but with a torsion bar or coupling device so that the other side still reacts and helps out with larger bumps.
