Good on them for that... sure dont see a statement like that coming out of Quebec
nice sled but they won’t sell that many. Brp tried it with the Freestyle back in the day and it was a flop. With emission targets tightening up the day of fan cooled sleds are coming to an end. Last year for the 550 Tundras this year and they sell a few of those.

The Freestyle was a flop because it was expensive and butt fugly.

I have to agree. It’s good to see manufacturers finally building entry and intermediate level sleds, first YamaCat with true 200, now Polaris with this 550.

To make responsible adult riders we need to introduce our kids at a young age on machines they can actually handle and have fun on

I have a 2019 200 snoscoot from yamaha and that thing is friggin amazing. My daughter loves it, and it's built like a real sled, 1000x better than the 120. Real CVT clutches and real suspension, plus with e-start and heated grips they're not cheap but worth every penny...https://www.facebook.com/jay.edward...35851216823/10157135849641823/?type=3&theater

Glad Polaris took some real world advice and updated the 850 engines, I do believe the 850 is a stout engine and 2020 should be a great year for them sorry to all the people who pulled the trigger on the first year build but you should know better by now, first year models will always have bugs to work out

Kinda stoked for yamaha reveal at 10 today, see what's new from them

2020 polaris release. Instantly makes previous model year 850 worthless by admitting and advertising changes to the engine durability and how it should have been released initially. Stole a guys design that he came up with in his shed. Flaunts it around like its a new feature. Man i would be upset

hey im looking to buy a 2019 polaris 850? said no one ever

I know you're just tryin to stir the pot but, seeing as though there's a 4 year warranty with it and they're installing the updated engines, I don't see a problem with buying a 19

And the sheeple followed with the 2017 skidoo flop, people will still buy what they want.
