Any Polaris of that vintage should be turned into F150 body panels.

It was my first sled. Always wanted a mint one. I’d honestly rather ride it on a week long trip then open my legs up to ride a procross

I mean with the offerings from Polaris and ski doo these days, who in their right mind would buy an arctic cat or Yamaha for any other reason besides pure brand bias or to buy a thundercat/sidewinder? 

If you buy a 600 or 800 ctec, you gotta be out of your damn mind, knowing that you are immediately subjected to last place finishes in every category other than looks. @f7ben

All the Procross chassis'ed sleds I've had have been pretty good. 

I mean if blown belts, shit clutches, poor QC, 600cc class 800 performance, jackshaft issues, air box issues, track alignment problems, etc are your thing then yah they’re great. 

Good looking sleds, arguably the best looking machines on snow, but they have the reputation of a fusion at this point.

I’d rather own the Yamaha procross than an arctic cat. Both are junk though. 

Old and new for me. Best of both worlds. 

I seriously think my 91 Indy 500 may be the cleanest unrestored one out there. Definitely that I have seen, at least. All original except the wilwood master cylinder I just put on, new  studs, windshield, and SS brake line/pads. It’s pretty damn mint. Not more than a scratch and the original seat looks showroom. Pretty rare for a wedge.

Im seeing an 18 leftover in upstate ny for $11,200 . Thinking bout making the drive up there.

Shorty or switchback? Either way you won’t be disappointed. I found a screaming deal and got mine with a 3 year bumper to bumper for $9500 otd. Had 800 miles on it, it was a sled mag review sled. Probably why it runs like a raped ape, they broke the fucker in right.

What yr XCR? I used to ride em older ones. Looking for the new one. Ya like it I assume?

2017, first year of the xcr comeback in the rush Axys chassis. It’s an amazing sled. It does everything well and fits me perfectly (6’3” 205). I can’t say enough good things about the Axys chassis and that 800 motor.

KM are ghey bro. The 6.2 however is not.

Are you saying your 800 XCR is the best one Poo ever made? I'm guessing there's plenty of other XCR's out there that will accept your challenge. 

Well duh. thats how it works right?

Still slow 

I haven’t come across a procross or doo that can beat my xcr 800  

matter of of fact I’d challenge any bone stock sled to try and beat my xcr out of the hole, it ain’t gunna happen. 

The 15 and up poo 800ho has been rock solid. Absolutely 100x better than the previous 800 liberty.

Let’s not get carried away here. He’s not the second coming of Blair Morgan or something. Just because he breaks shit all the time doesn’t mean he’s a gifted rider. Just means he was lucky enough not to hit a culvert while blind drunk. Hell he couldn’t even keep up with the Lummox on a 25 year old wedge.

trail is only good to pass the time untill you can get back to real ridding . fuck diamond pounding 

I like riding at night, not being limited to day time riding. Ride some Midwest trails, they’re fun.

really? I personally was there last yr when a bulk head busted open on a 17 snocheck .  was not even a fast hit .axis is strong but cast alloy can only be so strong .

and when you bust it you are fully fucked .

so no not a fact a opinion biased on nothing 

What, did it hit a tree? 

What good does a rolling chassis do you on the trail anyways? Fucking cats.

the cat can still take a bigger hit than any of them and ride away .and the mill is still the most durable when putting real power to it .

I can go any place on a mountain cat that I can on a pro . the 17 up mountain cat is a solid performer any one saying it is not has not been on one 

If @f7ben can ride an Axys and not total it, Id say that’s the toughest chassis in the business. We all know doos can fold up like tin cans at any given moment.

the skid is deff a cool deal no question . 

has the be the biggest change in the mountain segment in a long ass time .

it is a extremely specialized machine not built for any one but the guy who can ride in deep pow technical terain every time he goes out . 

yes I think just the out of the box way ahead of the curve thinking makes it sled of the yr . 

what else was changed this yr . 50cc in a poo and a clutch vent in a doo. no question cat stepped  up and it deserves it .

I don't buy any 1st yr shit but really wanted one even though I could only utilise it 15 days a yr .

my bud bought 1 so I will at least get some seat time on one .

That skid could be the best mountain suspension in the business, but it’s still a fucking arctic cat with an underwhelming 800 motor, shit chassis, and poor build quality/QC

Well to be fair the 800 flamethrower is new however with less power! Is this year 8 on the procross?

Poor Brian.

Yup, and the Poolaris engineers travelled with the sled, and were on hand while the dyno sessions were going on. Any chance the broke in ECU was a hot one ? 

Wonder if the new motor vibrates as bad as the old 800 ? That mfrrrr gave me carpel tunnel issues, and I only rode it for about 20 minutes. LOL

Couldn,t wait to get back on my smooth, heavy 4 stroke.

I disagree. The 800 HO motor only vibrates at idle, I can’t think of a single time in 2000 miles that I noticed engine vibration while riding on my 2017 800. I also came off of riding a 600 etec which was dead smooth.

sorry.....couldn't not post this one 

Its not even an Axys bro. Gods gift to sleds if you’ve ever ridden one. You’re probably used to busted s modules.

Yeah...I'll go ask Preston.😂😂😂

And fuck you.....it has a BMP Can!!!!!!!  🤗

Nice sled! Congrats man! 

Get a grip and rip Brace kit for the s mod though Jim like I mentioned earlier. Just my opinion.  

Here is the bundle. S mod and upper a arm braces.

Nobody likes a quitter. You and Woolie need to have an intervention. Pictures for attention.

The 800 is awesome. Congrats! Enjoy man.  

Broken in 6.2 nets me around 20-22 highway. I’ve been doing around 80-85 getting that and the 6.2 cruises around 1800-1900 rpm, never downshifts.
