[Megrizzly]

Even though the mountain segment isn't revamped, there are some significant changes to the trail section that will make their way next year. A brief overview:

new 800 HO motor
new electronically controlled 3-stage exhaust valves and oil pump
new lcd display featuring bluetooth (allows phone calls or messages to be notified), gps/mapping capability
led headlights
new terrain dominator RMK editions

Yup. They could have put new plastic and new ho motor on it but i think they have bigger changes than that for next year!

 

[SavageCanuck]

Yup mainly BNG ,clicker shocks on terrain domination models. I'll be keeping my 14.

 

[adamg]

Well that made my decision easy. Literally no upgrades to the 2015 so I might as well keep what I have. Now to see what Skud does.

 

[LUCKY 7]

I will keep my 2014 for another year.

 

[Braddock54]

Seems basically the same as 2014, not very exciting. Why wouldn't they paint the whole tunnel btw?

The Rush is sure an ugly turd.

Lol really? I think they look great. Would love a prox 137 for around home.

Red or black or 174x3" in yellow. All green freeride. Take your pic

15's same as 14's same as 13's=big letdown

 

[adamg]

That poster suggests that the only changes are BNG and 3" tracks, neither of which interest me. Remains to be seen if there are other changes we can't see there.

Yea, just my two bits. I'm sure it will appeal to a lot though. Just not my favourite looking sled is all.

Lol fawk. Pay $20-30,000 for a completely nee motor and platform every 2 years, and cry when its not reliable. This will only be its 5th year. Iq ran from 05-10 thats 6 years.

I don't think many people were looking for a new platform, just a motor that's more reliable with a little more power, but I guess that's a next year hope now.

800 ho and same plastic as the axys for sure next year, im sure some other changes as well.

Gear ratios with quick drive would be nice, and option to choose what one you want when snow checking would be great. Its bs the 155 and 163 have same gearing.

In a way I'm hoping Ski-doo come out with something big, so it forces Polaris to do something big for 2016.

A more powerful, reliable motor would be big for Polaris.

You see the patent drawings on snowest? Taller spindles, dropped drive shaft and rear skid? Its basically the pro with a 2" lift. Looked like a narrower track and tunnel too, like 13-14" wide. I know the firecat 13.5" wide track was a trencher, im sure they wouldnt do it if there was no benifits in the deep over the pro.

 

[Megrizzly]

We will definitely see a bunch of these features on the 2016's, but looking back to 2010 when the rush was introduced, you could expect only a trail improvement for this year. Theres a bunch of new tech and if the HO motor produces the power and reliability that people are wanting, It will be a home run. That digital gauge is quite impressive to say the least.

I will say that Polaris does have quite a selection of colours and graphics to snow check. Its something the other manufacturers should look into.
