IMHO anyone that buys a Yamaha and then complains can only blame themselves. Now if you get a lemon, thats another story. But they are four strokes, have been since the first RX1. Heavy yes, but by now that is a known quantity. Weight, and handling etc should not come as a surprise. I had a 07 Apex and enjoyed it for 3 seasons. The Nitro motor is a fine motor. I rode a buds 13 Viper. Fine sled as far as I'm concerned. I could own one. Yam 4 strokes vs any same class 2 stroke is not a apples to apples comparo, regardless of what some magazines may say. If you want BIG MOD power and speed they can't be beat.

I rode a 14 viper and hated it. Couldn't wait to get back on my Nytro.
I agree they can't be compared apples to apples with a 2 stroke.
I really like my Nytro but I just want something easier to throw around and boondock with. Since that is what I want, I will try a 2 stroke and Polaris is making a really sweet one right now

For the 800 axys. This is what I've seen so far. These are all different part numbers from 15 to 16. This could be a change in vendors for the different part numbers?? Or could be a purposely changed part
cylinder
piston
stator
throttle body
regulator
magnetic switch
throttle switch
My guess is the cylinder,stator,regulator,and throttle body were purposely changed. I could be wrong??
They don't have these posted online yet.

Your gonna love the axys platform. It's the funnest sled on the snow period.
Go into a corner hot near front of seat come out and slide back and lift the skis with confidence. It's an amazing platform and nothing else is like it trust me .

That's what I am hoping for. Last season I put 3700 miles on my XRS Renegade . It is the best sled I have had to date, lots of power, that rear skid just eats bumps all day long, the only downfall is the front end steering.
Even with the RAS2 . If you set it up loose in the front it pushes thru the corners.
Set it so it bites like a scared cat it corners like no tomorrow it is like it is on rails . But the only ski lift you get is the inside ski jumping up.
So the sled is always heavy in the front and is not as much fun off trail.
Looking forward to everything I have read and seen onthe AXYS from Polaris.
The new 800 lots of response great on fuel and oil. the redesigned chassis , GPS gauge package.2 ply track ,LED lights.
The spring order options are awesome. Choice Colours,electric plus pull start, windshield and extra storage.
Looks like polaris hit a home run on this sled!

I ordered a pro s 800 with cobra track. It was going to be my first polaris since my beloved 1998 XC 700 that I was stolen back in 2000. BUT....I on a whim last week I picked up this used Indy 600 for a backup/ take the kids out for a ride sled. So it is now officially my first Polaris sled in a loong time. Can't wait for the switchback to show up.
