1200 will get an update...whether they keep the current block, go 1330, or boost the 900 is yet to be seen. Be real unfortunate if they dropped the 1200 without ever boosting it OEM. The ACE series isn't nearly as good for boost as the 1200 I've been told. I hope the update the 4 stroke..I want to build another next year.

Id expect a 172 x 2.5 or 3 next year.

170 hp at elevation in the xm would keep me from buying the viper as planned. Alot of people really dont factor hp at elevation.

That 1200 with that new 6 weight clutch will blow the doors off a 800 ho cat till 80 mph.

To bad they dont do more with it but i think switching to 4 strokes are giving up to epa. Clean 2 stokes need to keep coming.

the 6 arm clutch is useless and not easily tunable.

Yep carbon fiber ? Light weight, light weight in mountain sled.
Than want E start? Geesh
4 stroke yes as it is required but I see lots of peeps wanting lighter sleds and then hit the E start button!
Come on ?
I Doo think that they should have a Snow Check sled that is a couple g more but has some carbon and maybe 30-40 lbs lighter.
Something that is different than the other 98% out there .
Even a bigger cc motor for a price with only one season warranty.
I think they would sell but who knows?
My 2 cents

I don't know what they will have for a new line, for 2015. But I am looking forward to seeing it.

Wouldn't be my first or last build with that price tag but with that aside....... you sure got allot to say about weight but I got a question for ya, if a 2014 xm 163 dry weight is 464lbs and 2014 pro 163 dry weight is 424lbs, which they are, do you feel that extra 40lbs on the xm? Do you feel the extra weight when riding with a full tank of fuel or empty? Get ur head out of the sand. P.S. I own an xm and love it, so don't think that I'm just doo bashn'.
Enjoy your 20+ thousand snowmobile.

Not really... But weight aside... After getting used to an XM I can't stand riding the pro. And the xm can still handle as well and it's nice to have the wider track.. They jump up quicker.

I agree with those points but 170hp at elevation will jump up pretty quick compared to the 135hp the xm has at 6000ft
