Actually, we've pondered the same question.  I think it depends on the racing track.  Kinda like the 121 vs. 129 vs. 137 track debate.  

XC has some open class CC racing and the pros still run their 600's when they partake.

I don't.   Power rules.  They went to the prolite rules cause the teams with more money had more powerful sleds.  Every tenth of a second counts and in a 18 lap final or whatever they are that can be a couple second difference.   That's big.

The last two sleds I bought new..or close to it BOTH had shocks on backwards.  I do my own PDI's so I caught it before any damage on the one and the other (almost new) was ridden by a grandma so the piggy's just scratched the A-arms up a bit.

Imagine....buying a sled from a dealer, picking it up and riding it just like they set it up for you season after season.  :lol: It's no wonder people get out of sledding.

I thought you were asking me a hypothetical question?

@f7ben  ...who the fuck is this mutha fucka now?  :lol:

Honestly "Crowder", that debate has been around forever with vehicles I think.  It has good merit.  However, sometimes 1st year models are a good choice.  They can be overbuilt or, manued tolerances are actually spot on that get loosened up as production continues.

I think sleds probably have the worst rap with first year sleds.  And rightfully so.  I used to deny it but it sure seems pretty clear that manu's want the consumers testing (and finding) all the issues for them.  However, they are offering good deals and nice warranties with it.  SO.....   :dunno:

 

I’d agree with much of that in some cases, but we are talking Polaris history with 800+ cc motors. If I was a betting man my money would be on lots of them coming uncunted this season. I hope I am wrong since I’d like to see it as my 800 replacement when it’s proven reliable and depending on what else shows up in the marketplace.
