I love the review. Finally someone telling the truth that has not been Doo brainwashed.
The handling on the Polaris is outstanding. One thing I noticed is that not only does it do it better, it does it easier.
Fit and finish are in the eyes of the beholder. The ski doo may be a little better, but they would need to fix the looks of that ugly duckllng before you can have a discussion on the fit and finish. Colors and the styling suck! but I have to admit, i love the clear lighted hand guards, very cool!
Of course you have to give the Doo the win for power, it has a bigger motor. One thing to remember is that they didn't mention is the weight of that motor. I can't remember the exact figure, but I want to say it's got 30 pounds on a a standard 800. Coming off of a 4 stroke, I'm still amazed at how far the 2 strokes have come. The 800 class motors pull strong and are well built.
Bang for buck has to be what would win me over in the end. The shocks are awesome.
IMO, the looks, the handling, the shocks, and value of the Polaris are a no brainer.
I love my Swtichback Pro S but was thinking about trying the Assault next year.
I'm sold.
There will be an Assault in my future.
