SSFB Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I'm either trading or selling the '11 CF 800, need to get on an Axys Poo 800. Looking mostly at Switchback Assault's but would take a shorter Switchback given the right deal. Any reason motor/chassis/suspension related that I should be looking at newer instead of a 2016 or 2017? Just saw this one online. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/snw/d/hutchinson-2016-polaris-pro-switchback/7013809189.html Most everything else I've been looking at is leftover 2018/2019 Switchback Assaults. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ride off trail a lot go with the Assault with the traditional skid, if you're mostly a trail guy go with the axys switchback..My 16 has been flawless for 3000 miles..Just gas and oil.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the leftover, there’s some good deals out there right now. I don’t think the assault has changed very much over the last couple years. Not sure I’d be confident in a used 800 poo with a bunch of miles on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Dude.....you should have posted this 5 days ago. Would have given you the pro-x for what i paid. There is no reason to avoid the 2015 and up polaris pros or prox Assault stick to 2017 and up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Ok I don't know what your budget is but if you can stick to 2018 and up. They did some updates on the 2018 that improved the cooling and they seem to run better. That should last you a long time. Also if you get a 2018 (or lower) you need to update the snow flap to the current year. The one that came on the older models is fucking worthless. I think the 2019 is new. Good luck Joelle! You're going to love that sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Jewels will suck on any sled he rides. Should just stick with what he has? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGNHL Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Id trust a Polaris or Skidoo 800 out of warranty as much as leaving Uncle Snotty unattended at an animal shelter with a gallon of KY. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 6, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 6, 2019 Completely depends on what type of riding you do and how much you want to spend. Anler and Ben are correct if choosing a Poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insurance covered it, but if memory serves they had tons of issues with it after spending around $90k on a complete refurb. The next year all clubs were forbidden to have a groomer on the ice as we all shared the same insurance policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure no axys has ever had the old CFI 800 before? @SSFBThe 2018 and up axys 800s got a new 110° thermostat vs. 125° in 2017 and previous 800 HO sleds. They also revised the head design so the new 110° theromstat wont fit into the 2017 and older 800 HOs unless you swap them. SMH. My 2017 XCR never had a problem though, it always ran at 126 in nearly all conditions unless i was riding for an extended period of time down thin logging roads.

It’s just a little over $11k. Winner winner chicken dinner! Like I said the only thing you NEED to do is update that snow flap(Polaris New OEM K-Snow Flap W/Plate, 2208195 - $35.00),the stock one is like a postage stamp and you are going to run hot trail riding and they know this because they changed it in 19 to the same one the indy uses. Much better. The assault is great for on trail and off, its the perfect do anything sled. Good luch bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
