That’s why using the XCR name was retarded I think what was retarded was putting the XCR name on the big triple. The XCR started as a sall bore XC sled and that is what made it famous. I have no issue with the current sled being called teh XCR because it far more resembles the original than the 800 triple did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Polaris should have stuck with the Storm moniker....if the original Storms wouldnt have been such POS they would have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some added bracing in the skid but otherwise its just a PRo-S with a short track and braces Seriously? Then lame. So....Another “Race replica” with BNG’s, a riser and shocks most of the owners that bought it for the “look at me graphics” don’t know how to tune anyway. EXCELLENT! Dull.

It is a perfect trail sled although I found nothing lacking in the Pro-S other than it could be sprung a little stiffer for guys over 180lbs. The axys is just so versatile it doesnt need anything more than what it has. The xcr has springs slightly heavier than the Pro-S but only by about 10-20lbs. It has decent shocks and has some added bracing. I think it has a moly scissor arm or something but they never break anyway so that isnt an issue. Its by no means a race replica or race anything....its a trail sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 I hate when these manufacturers use traditionally high performance names that are supposed to have some kinda of special engine option then whore that name out on just a generic machine with their common junk engines. Like what doo did with the MXZ and Polaris now with the XCR. It’s just a junky common 800 would be like doo putting a 1” track and slightly lowered 850 and calling it a Mach Z Like fuck off man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its by no means a race replica or race anything....its a trail sled If I ever decided to go back to a 800 or consumer model, I’d buy a bare bones, low priced model with the same engine and build the suspension and add/replace/brace components with the real shit myself. 13 minutes ago, Rod Johnson said: I hate when these manufacturers use traditionally high performance names that are supposed to have some kinda of special engine option then whore that name out on just a generic machine with their common junk engines.

The auto industry has done a really nice job with sticking the old muscle car names on modern metal. Not sure why that can’t carry over in motorsports. I haven’t read (or cared to) anything on he new Thundercat. It sounded like the real deal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFR800 or 1000 would not matter. They are fast sleds and an XCR is not. Thats all there is too it Oooooo! Sounds like a riot! Not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, anyone buying any of the above models for straight racing should have their sled taken from them.....then their lives!!! 38 minutes ago, Nazipigdog said: Yeah thats the problem with cat guys.

sledderj Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Highmark said: Come on man there is no way Yammie will build a sled specifically for 1320' that is a naturally aspirated 850 4 stroke. You need to quit listening to whomever you are. My guess Yammie may have an SRX but it will the the lower version of the Sidewinder like cat did with the TCat. They will still offer the Sidewinder as is with maybe some new gauges and controls. That is the best guess I have heard yet. Shuffle the parts bin a little and fabricate a bit of hype. Pretty typical Yamaha launch. I give them credit for launching the turbo, there's substance there, but not much else in the last how many years.
