I thought the release was today, but there is still the same news about 155" Axys on the Polaris webpage.

Is the SKS kind of a middle ground between the Standard and the Pro?

My guess is the assault and standard might be eliminated. SKS should be able to fill those shoes.

From the bits of info I’ve seen the assault will be in the axys chassis. The SKS looks to be a rebrand of the standard RMK.

The old SKS was supposed to be a cross over sled for flatlanders that felt they needed a long track. I would imagine they keep the Assault and have the SKS, Assault and then the Pro all on the Axys platform. The SKS is likely more of a line meant to compete against the Backcountry Gade's.

But speculation means nothing at this point. It will all be known shortly.

The belts are supposed to be the same length. Unless going to the 3".

Looks like the quick belt drive is on the series 6 tracks (2.6") and they went back to the chain for the series (3"). I would expect they stuck with the same drive system

Found my new sled. I will even take the 3" option!

That's a sharp looking toboggan right there. I'm sure happy I'm not in the market for a new sled this year, I wouldn't know what the hell to choose. Haha.

MK4, I've got one built already online. Now to get prices from a few Poo dealers, and on a 174T3 from Ffun (again!).

Oh well the Doo faithful will still feel the T3 Summit is the best because it offers a 174.

It's a fail of a release in their eyes.


3" in 163 and 155. New motor and 4 year warranty. New platform and revised chassis.

You would have to be narrow minded to think that. The polaris is lighter and now makes the same HP and has a 3" option. In theory it should deffinetly give the t3 174 a run for its money. They addressed all of the things skidoo had on them. Traction and power. Then being so much lighter it should be an interesting season if it snows
