So let me say, at first I was like wow pretty sweet, then I was like, hmm, yah, nmmmmmm, at this point I am happy I have my '12. Some people are going to be very impressed.

game changer? well, they had to step up...could they have gone further? yes. Thats it, thats all I will say.

I know where people were riding them awhile ago, but they weren't saying anything. I was able to get the goods yesterday from someone else. I still get the mixed impression though and thats how I am left feeling.


I should mentioned....way happier than the Poo guys could possibly be, maybe in 5 or so years they will catch up like they did last time after they do all that R&D (rip off and duplicate):)

I cant believe there is anything new or exciting to come, there is already spy video of the 2014 C7 Corvette if u look for it. I'm sure if there is anything earth shattering coming we would know about it by now.

There were no early pics of the XP platform out there and there were no early pics of the Rev till Doo went out of house so to speak with a certain private individual from the south Calgary area. BRP is quite good at keeping a secret when they are in control.

There are going to be people who feel (polaris owners) that BRP went out and copied other platforms. Well, taking something that works and refining it only makes sense, obviously we know where Cat and Poo came up with their current chassis several years after the fact, but its not like Doo was the first to come up with a rider forward approach. In the end, they all have a track that spins, so who copied who?

I think for a guy like me who is a lighter rider, being able to transfer weight with less effort on the new chassis is a great change. Almost Pro like, but better. :)

I also know and have seen the 2013 and agree with takethebounce 100%, happy I have a 2012 freeride that I'll keep one more year but will get this new summit the following year for sure. There are a few new moving parts that I'll give it a year and see, unless BRP give me one !!!!!!!!!;)

for guys wishing they had a mountain chassis, they'll be happy.

they held back on the ................, no point in giving up too much right away.

I'm on the fence, trade up the '12 or wait...

i still dont think the 2013 pro is ANY further ahead of the 2012 skidoo....yes the runningboards look nice. i imagine they will be on the 2013 doo aswell. and the belt drive is neat. but doesnt make it better than a chaincase by any noticable performance margin.

and ya. now they have 509 polaris goggles! wow! brp has goggles that change lenses with the push of a button. hmmm
