2019 Polaris

[LUCKY 7]

Is it just me thinking about the prices or have they gone up by alot? This sport is sure getting to be expensive imo

i honestly dont know where the sled prices are going to stop. Its a good thing they snowchecked the 850 because everyone would wait till mid season and get one for $4g off due to lack of sales since no one snow checks anymore.

Nothing revolutionary here.... just a second place finisher, 3 years later.

I have a real hate on for doo and my usual dislike of poo.....such disappointments. Guess my plan of snow biking is going forward.

There is a price for new technology. But I agree. My dad just shakes his head with the costs sledding now.

Yeah, this is what is holding me back. I remember snowchecking a 2013 XM 154 for about $12500. Now a 2019 850 is going to be about $17000, and that's not fully spec'd out.

if you option out a 163 it it comes in at 17 and change american.... witch is roughly 23k here in Canada. As far as im concerned they can eat my a** for that kinda money, i dont care what brand. these hunks on plastic are not worth that kind of money.

I am thinking the website has a glitch, there is no way that prices jumped that much.

$17200 CDN. Still a lot of money. Last year was about $15000. It’s getting to the point that many will not buy new.

The way I look at it is you get 50cc, a narrow front end and 4 yr warranty for that price.

Lots of guys spend $3000+ for an over bore, no warranty and $1000 for narrow front end. Now you don’t have to do any of that.

Look at dirt bike prices. $11500+ for a KTM two stroke out the door. Two wheels and a frame.

Side by side prices even worse.

Def gonna snow check ....





.... a gently used 2017 ....and then snowcheck a gently used 2019 in 2020 /2021 ....
Good to see the improvements but new is getting ridiculous on all sides.

sxs are no different. I bought a 900rzr with winch, roof, stereo for under20g otd and now they are 24+ bone stock

Pricing is only going to get worse if our dollar ends up in the 60's like a lot of economists are predicting.

But yeah, seeing the current pricing a person is almost crazy not to consider buying a holdover 800 at what they're being advertised at.

That'll eventually solve the used problem.

My dad bought a new 1997 Polaris Storm RMK, and the original list price was $11099 cdn and a !997 Doo Mach Z list price was $10799 cdn. So I think today's technology has value.

Wish Polaris would offer demo rides like cat does.

 

[Caper11]

I stopped at the polaris dealer today looking at pricing and wondering about a demo ride.

That was a website glitch and the Canadian pricing is what guys built in the site even tho it said US.
Its a claimed 9% gain in hp over the 800, so 177 hp for the new poo 850, it could be a interesting season coming up.

 

[vrscr43]

So the current 800 cc is 161 hp???

Anybody else worried about the single ringed piston ?

 

[Jorgy]

Anybody else worried about the single ringed piston ?

YES. Although with 4 year warranty I'm really considering snowchecking. Ride the crap out of it for 2 years, sell it with 2 years warranty remaining. Kinda of a no brainer if polaris pays for the rebuilds lol

 

[AGGRESIVEZEBRA]

Them HP numbers don't seem to add up? Polaris was right at the 155hp mark at the max hp so 9% more would be 168. nowhere near the 177 claimed. curious to see where you got them numbers from?

 

[dragonweld28]

The axys was consistently making 154 hp. So this motor will be in the 167 range. The stock Doo make 168.8 @7900 RPM. Will be an interesting match up next year.
