There are enough guys running turb'd Pro's, with 3", 174 tracks with stock Polaris belt drives... I didn't know they were a problem. Or did we just not hear about them?? That would be werd to not hear of the issues.

So rest of the fields are really trying to play catchup.... It's about time. Hopefully these engines hold together, better than their predecessors. What is warranty on the snowchecks?

Four year factory warranty if you don't take the free gauge upgrade

Polaris is looking to made a big jump this year, being lighter than doo and running new power and three inch will give poo a big jump... Doo missed the boat in Vegas this year

What did they miss Freddy?? They built a great sled, that really never had many issues. Had they not done that last year, it's hard to say what would have been released by the rest this year.

It wouldn't matter anyway. Guys like you take a perfectly good machine and wreck it anyways. And then bitch it doesn't work right. The time and money it takes to build a sled like yours would be better spent on seat time and gas on a stock machine.

The fancy GPS digital deal.
yeah I would be curious
what all the features are for example could it be programed to locate your buddies with garmin rhinos and such. It apparently has Bluetooth to smartphones so would it act like a spot or something like that.

Mayby I am behind the ball here but polaris pro rmk

3"
426lbs dry weight
optionaly piggy back shocks from factory
forged a arms
chain case back
claimed 160hp
cheaper msrp price than other sleds for a base model?
Cool feature here with the lcd screen that can sink with your phone, that means for android users you can the backcountry nav app and use your phone as a gps with satellite photos... Now that is just bad ass!!!

sounds like a win to me!

edit: and a **** ton more color options to pick from.

Don't let the price fool you. Put together like your list, and it's not the cheapest MSRP wise. Otherwise, you are correct on all others.

Chain case runs a 12% lower gear ratio than the belt drive. Not sure if thats a crutch cause kurts polaris offers 2 ratios with no tensioner.

Im sure they could have made a different belt and different pullys for the 3" tracks....

I have a belt drive, i realized its cool. But stock ratio sucks. Costs me same amount for a tki with a factory belt drive or chain case......

I would be fine with a chain case now.
