Puzzleboy Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) No issues with the 850, BEST rear suspension in the business...... Good to see that SnowTrax reports honestly. The Polaris butthurt will be immense after this one....... I guess the ice oval handlebar hook just wasn't enough this year.

Puzzleboy Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Can't remember back that far. But they have to give it to Polaris every now and then, despite their misgivings, or Polaris will take their ball and go home. If the competition builds something class leading, develops some radically new technology, and is worthy of such acclaim, by all means, give it to them. But the fact remains, simply copying what Ski-Doo does, will not get you there. Edited March 29, 2017 by Puzzleboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04nightfire Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 lol. I guess 2012/15/16 were a long time ago. Don't know if I would be praising a trail sled that just about got beaten by a 50/50 crossover sled...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Just about got beaten? "Hey, we would have won that...... if we hadn't lost..... " Then there's the RAD award, which considers all manufacturers and models. Poo has nothing new. I do like their new models though, and for the money, they're a good value. It was a real world sled comparison. And on the Doo side, it wasn't an 850 XRS, either. Which is available next year. The fact that they had no 850 issues, is quite telling (contrary to the same 4 photos that keep surfacing of 850 issues). And those guys can ride, even if they are a tad illiterate.

Puzzleboy Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I kinda figured the Sidewinder would take it this year, but I guess they think it's a bit of a tank. Maybe the Lesters need to hit the gym more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnest sled I've had to date. It is honestly very good on the trail. You do get more of a push in the corners but that's to be expected with the longer track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladefever Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Trail riding at 70 mph? And what were the categories for this test? I'm getting tired of hearing the Yamaha still needs skis. Must be more then 10 yrs now Not one blown belt on the 850? After all those hard test miles........ Personally found it very distracting to watch the video with all the unnecessary........... hand jestures. In the end same as always...... Lots of talk with nothing really said....... I will just have to wait impatiently for the Official Snow Goer test results....... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I don't know what's up with the SW skis.... but apparently everybody put Doo skis on to make them work. I agree, watching the Lesters, is always a bit painful to the ears...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04nightfire Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I was sitting at home last night thinking about this thread and the praising puzz is doing for snowtrax. I seem to remember the same guys talking about the 1200 and how heavy it was, throttle lag and that it was basically just a family sled. I think the OP said snowtrax was crap. Also, a member here (correct me if I'm wrong) is on his third 850 motor now as well. Edited March 30, 2017 by 04nightfire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
