Gotta fix that snow flap bud! @Zambroski @Ez ryder what’s the update on the shore? I’m thinking of going for one last ride next weekend

A player tested positive for it before the OKC/Utah Jazz game tonight. Rudy Gobert is a fucking IDIOT. He walked out of his interview with the media on monday touching every microphone on the way out saying he wouldn't get it, then he tests positive for it tonight. Fucking moron.

Preston claims OG has the best Alfredo sauce he’s ever had. Every time he talks about it I laugh.

The VR1 looks bland to me though. XCR FTW!!

hell yah. I liked the old digital gauge just fine on my xcr too. Nothing wrong with it. the new gauges are slick though.

Same. I like the old style doo gauge. Temp and RPM in the digital readout and i just use the analog tach for speed if I need it. I never care about speed.

You really have to go right to the XRS to get good trail shocks. the X package is not what it used to be and has become so watered down. Hell, the newest 2021 XRS doesnt even have rebound adjustment anymore on the front shocks! Pathetic. Im glad mine has both, rebound adjustments have really allowed me to get the handling dialed in.

My needles in my 2017 xcr were good. Not velocity good but id suspect they are better then the force shocks are.

I like both. A change in terrain is something I look forward to. In WI and MN you have such a wide variety of trails, and if theyre bombed out I love standing up and hammering them. Its why I buy the best sled the manu offers at the time with the most factory bracing they offer. Door closers and old couch style sleds don't do it for me. Even if my KYB pros are average shocks they do damn well in shit trails when im hitting one and skipping 2-3. I'll be completely honest with you, i dont notice a difference between prestons X with EXITs and mine with pro 36s. I do however notice a big difference in the rear with Pro 40s and his with standard X door closers.

I find that the cat and poo front ends were very comparable on trail sleds. Brians RR and my XCR share far more similarities handling wise then my XRS does. I love ski doo and poo for different reasons. Theyre both great sleds, and the new cats are nice too. opinions are like assholes, they say....

Ben rides hard. He’s not a guy that you have to wait for at intersections unless his sled started on fire, sunk, or hit a tree

your height/weight and what type of riding you do plays a huge roll in determining what fits you best. I like the axys Eros for trail riding, but the G4 isn’t bad at all. The r motion was better then my jungle gym comfort wise, no doubt. In the rough stuff I would say it’s a flip of the coin.

im on an 850 xrs this year, last year I was on an axys xcr 800. riding today. The trails are about done here. R motion is really nice.

I got my xrs dialed in rebound set to 4 clicks from full soft and compression 3 clicks. I have 7.5 shapers with bergstrom shims and ski savers, stock 4” on the outside. It rails pretty good, although it’s tippy compared to the axys or procross. That’s the nature of the beast with the xrs ride height. I’m ok with it now! I don’t have the TS adjustable bs either, just 5.7s. I just preferred the axys front personally.

I liked the procross front suspension more then my G4. Brian’s sled was nice. It reminded me a lot of the axys. Flat cornering and predictable. The plastic designs on it were not comfortable for me, and the 800 lacked the midrange the 850 etec has. i really want to try the 850 poo. Bad.

And now doo took a back seat. Being brand biased like some guys on here is fucking stupid. You and half the guys on here will complain about how stupid Polaris is for doing this, or doing that... meanwhile you won’t ever buy or ride one so what’s the point in arguing. I’ve had both sleds in the last two years. The axys is as good as it gets overall imo. The G4 is nothing more then a chassis that’s still trying to play catch-up with poo, and they just had to release a new front suspension because the RAS3 was still so behind the competition in 2017.

Why would you need anything other then a 600 ctec! It’s so reliable and fast!!! Oh, wait.....

The 650 should also make quite a bit more torque then the 600s do currently. That’s going to add a fun factor that is comparable to going from an 800 to 850

It’s optimized for 87 meaning that it is going to make its advertised HP on that. It’s possible there will be a 91 map to take advantage of the extra octane, with a setting switch on the gauge.

That’s what I’m gathering. Not taller, just narrower. I’m getting the sense that it’s XP to XS like design. A mid cycle refresh of the axys with some suspension/accessory tweaks and the new 650.

Ben is correct... the G4 and axys are night and day different. My xcr cornered flatter then my G4 XRS does, and my xrs handles well, I’ve got it dialed in to my liking. It took me a full weekend of riding to get used to the G4 and inside ski lift again. The 850 mid range makes up for the G4’s reluctancy to lift the skis, it can do it with ease, but nothing like my xcr would if I wanted it to. it’s all where you sit on the axys. You have to know how to launch one. I perfected it and never lost from a dig to any sled I raced. It came out of the hole like an animal.

Well if you dont like snow then I can see why you dont like snowmobiling This winter was so great. Probably one of my best riding years in terms of enjoyment that Ive had. Every ride was 15+ degrees all weekend, tons of different places, great snow all over... I just cant imagine not riding. Its too much fun to say fuck it, all because of a little snow and money.

You sound like someone who doesn't have a good group to ride with. I have a group (including bent, joel, analer, ballsack) of 8+ people i could ride with any given weekend. It must suck to ride by yourself or with your wife all the time, id probably quit too.

Best bet is to buy low mileage used with 2-3 years of warranty left if you want new iron. I saved 4k+ buying my xrs and I got 3 years of warranty transferable to me, and I can sell it for damn near what I paid with 1500 more miles.
