He is not wrong. Torsion spring suspension give way more options in rates, and adjustment than a coil over, and they ride nicer.
The downside is weight.

Polaris has every Manufacturer beat in the functionality of their gauge. That is cool tech.
Did Doo change something and now have more than two of Henry Fords left over torsion spring sizes with 5 settings, I may have missed something as my last Doo was a 19.
If you put the filler inside the torsion coil it helps stop the collapse effect I suppose.
For what it is it rides OKish but not sure about adjustability king.

Velocity shocks are not the base Polaris shock so maybe not a fair apples to apples.

What does it do?
I’ve never once wished for a ‘better gauge.’ Can’t see it most of the time anyway


Full functioning gps and you can send messages and track the position of other Polaris machines. Cool stuff. I’d rather have something that connects to my phone that way no risk of smashing and it’s easier to type and download data to share etc. would also not increase the price of the sled as much if it’s app based.

There are actually 10.
Lots more spring rates available from doo, you can stagger spring rates per side as well.

I have MXZ springs in my sled.

OK now I know why Doo pushes that monster tunnel bag, so you can take the other nine sets of adjustable anchors along.

Sorry Matt, sometimes it's hard to resist when it's easy.
I'll stop now for a while.

I don't use it, but I'm pretty sure the Ride Command app has that functionality. No Poo required.

Not needed when doo got it right the first time.

Even Polaris uses torsion springs in its race sled.

I believe the Axy Clutch tool is there as well, that’s why I was asking. I haven’t paid attention to the Matryx tool location but the side panel slots are different on the Matryx. That looks like the Axy belly pan.
I’m mostly curious if it’s an 800 or 850 crank.
matryx clutch tool lays horizontal like in picture. axys stands vertical. both are in same location on sled.

The P85 clutch is still used on the Matryx N/A and the new P22 is on the Turbo models. Likely we will see the P22 make it to all models next season. The P85 is a good clutch and efficient only it wears faster than it should. Still better than the old TRA for duribility though but maybe worse than the newer Doo wobble clutch.
