What date does Polaris announce there 2019 lineup of the snow machines
March 5th.
They better make a statement in the mountain sled segment releasing on the 5th of march because if they don't Cat with that new suspension will dominate the sled media.
hope you are rightThat new “thing” that Cat released is heavier then the 2014 PRO RMK so I don’t see it dominating anything.
I'm guessing but I think the monorail cat skid may work in the deeper stuff but will probably be a nightmare in anything else at all. Due to its total lack of stability. I don't mountain ride but I'm thinking there is more to a machine than it's ability to tip it on edge.i also forecast track issues. I do like the out of box move though. I'll give them that.They better make a statement in the mountain sled segment releasing on the 5th of march because if they don't Cat with that new suspension will dominate the sled media.
Your right on the 600 doo being a decent value sled. The 850 thing idk about that I've seen (like anything else ) faster ones AND slower ones. I believe that shipped has now sailed for doo. They had the fastest 850 class sled when they were the only one. I'm pretty sure that's about to change on both accounts . Doo released that new turbo or should I say TURD-BO .way underpowered compared to the other 900 plus cc turbo sleds. BUT it will sell well im sure. I just don't get why really. The doo crew are all excited about a 150hp turbo that's laughable. Then they are all gassed up about cranking them up. Again I don't get it. Take a underperformer that's gonna get destroyed stock and then crank it up to compete with the others and get destroyed by the others again when they crank it up too. Idk. to each thier own .I hope they do something in the trail line up. More IGX style suspensions. Something to compete with the 850 one. Stock for stock similar setups the 850 is quicker and faster.
I think they are going to release a turbo 4stroke.
A value sled like the renegade 600 carb would also be a good move. I know the dealers around here sold tons of them. 10K out the door in a 600 with 4yr warranty is hard to compete with. Just my thoughts. I might be buying my first skidoo since the late 90's for the wife. Waiting to see what going to be released first.
I think the media will like the gimmickiest trend at least at firstI'm guessing but I think the monorail cat skid may work in the deeper stuff but will probably be a nightmare in anything else at all.

Did you see this:Lenn did you have an opportunity to discuss the movement of cyl bolts to accomadate better transfer ports. If so did the engineers frame the talk as the transfers were adaquate or di they say they are plenty big or something like that. I'm hoping for Big transfers or a lot of extra meat in cyl. To make em big. This has been a limiting factor on 800 cfi. Monoblocks
