So in a perfect world, each manufacturer would build a couple of models for each segment. For example you like the vertical steering on the AXYS but if Polaris could afford to build a second mountain sled with the competition in mind they could also build a sled with horizontal steering and big wide running boards. Instead of trying to change mindsets, simply copy some of the common features of the competition and it may be easier to bring guys over. Lord knows there is enough choices in the trail segment, this should also be true for the mountains. It's got to be easier to make a fat AXYS with a 16" track than it is to make a skinny G4 or Cat! One size does not fit all.

Not sure what the point of that would be, so Polaris builds a G4, how would that convince someone who already has a G4 to switch over? Because it's lighter? But would it be if they had to add a wider track,bigger boards and some sort of T-motion clone? Like someone else said, the needs to be some sort of differentiation between the manufacturers sleds or you could only sell them your version based on price and colour.

Jeez you guys, sledding seems to be all about numbers 850,800, 900, 1000, 155, 154, 153, 163, 165, 174, 159, 455, 600, 537 does anyone really enjoy the sport anymore or realize what sledding always us to do? I'm content to ride anything so long as it's still running at the end of the day and to have a good group to ride with.

Sledding is all about the numbers to you is it not?

I don't see why Polaris would drop the HO after 3 seasons. Adding a new motor 3 years after? Even if it was the heavily rumoured triple, which I think means there is no triple as anything that is talked about takes a few years. And direction injection? Again they will likely stick with the current HO platform.

Anything they do is going to be an upgrade to the existing HO. Longer stroke, turbo, whatever.

There is a chance it's something completely new and in a few days we will know but typically Polaris relies heavily on the input of its big name guys like Burandt. And is he asking for anything but a factory turbo?
