Looks like maybe they figured out air shox suck.

Do not believe everything you read or see on the net,thats someones creation not Polaris's they even said that when they created it and posted on Snowest.
From what I understand Polaris is not releasing there new sleds untill the 12th of Feb.

If you check out the polaris website, this looks like the partly revealed 2011 sled! Looks a lot like the 2011 Rush Pro-R besides the suspension! good looking sleds!

Turns out this pic maybe real,someone changed the clock on their computer and says that is what they got.Unfortunatly Polaris caught on and has blocked it.
If it is real it looks like a nice sled.

The lingering question for me is....who is going to buy a new Polaris after the way they screwed up the current 800 RMK?

Kind of ironic isn't it that they can afford to come up with a new chassis but can't seem to fix the current engine.

I rode Polaris for many years, but you couldn't give me one to ride right now. My expectation is that a new sled be able to make it out of the back country every ride for at least the first year. I have seen a ton of them towed out this year, some multiple times.

I guess if you support that kind of quality control by buying a new machine from them, you kind of deserve what you get.:confused:

this motor has 2 injectors, and they are probably working on a DI. Its a very advanced motor and they dont want to screw it up and they dont want to release a new motor in a new chassis ever again

In my head
I'm a Cat guy, but Polaris would be my second choice. Despite a few issues (and all brands have issues) I think Polaris is working hard to get market share. They are doing good things. I know a little bit about the new guy working on and testing the 800. Expect good things.

If that pic is indeed the 2011 release, it looks mighty fine.

They already have coilovers on most if not all of their sleds, so that's not new

I looked into this today while I was Throwing more
money at my hobby, and i did notice that the dragons have airshocks
still. On the 800 anyway. Right from the start I would have avoided them since my experience with mountain bike suspension taught me that airshocks aren't for any real heavy hitting usage lol.

I've heard some horror stories about the Polaris engine, but I haven't personally seen anything to turn me away from it, I'll let you know how I feel next year lol. But so far no complaints at all.
