That reveal by Polaris was pretty much like looking forward to your prom night and finding out at the last minute your hottie date cancelled and you're having to go with your cousin! Why bother? Not even an effort to add anything innovative....Could have at least copied and put a remote adjustable shocks on. They copied the Freeride colours! What a let down! Looks like a change of brands could be in order after five Polaris sleds was just hoping for something to look forward to.

how do you get specs? like what does a 174 with the monotube shocks weigh? and the canuck site shows us price although seems to make sense to be Canadian.

2018 Polaris ... Have a peek see & Listen....

Again.. snow and mud builds a sled up with stupid made up rumours and the release ended up being "dissapointing" because it's not a 200" 1500cc twin turbo supercharged nitrous big bore 300 pound sled. Weeeiiirrd. People on snow and mud being unsatisfied with a sled release. They are good machines! If half of you guys were in charge of production polaris's would go out of business. It's marketing guys... they clearly felt they had a good enough hold on the market share that they didn't need to drop a bombshell. It's a big game of chess.

Heres the link for the 2018 brochure:

No narrow a-arms?????
Guess I'm going to buy a 2017 pro rmk 3" thats collecting dust on a showroom floor. Might find an orange LE 163". Would it be unreal to try to get one OTD for 13K all in? 2500 for narrow front end. save myself 3500-4000 total after upgrades?

Ya. The 8****ty is a sweet handling sled with some growing pains. I was tempted to try my luck with a 2018 165 but I'm going to sit on the fence for a bit longer. I ride hard 50-65 days per year and I'm not sure it's up to the task.

Also noticed no changes to the youth sled. I'm sure polaris was blindsided with the yamacat 200 release.

i think most people were just having fun but yes sometimes expectations are two unreasonable. i personally did not expect anything other than what happened.
