One guy bought one just to flip because he's figuring they'll be limited to get and demand will be high. Of the guys that rode it they still like their own sleds which is a mix of Renegades and X-RS over the Lynx for aggressive trail riding. Nothing wrong with the Lynx just more of a crossover off trail sled. I damn near brought a lynx home this spring as it was cheaper than the xrs once you equipped it like the the lynx. I am glad I didn’t now as I probably won’t be riding this season either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of Jonas mods from 15 , it had no time on it. and the pair of xc's ?! I could still ask for two if they send me a letter telling me I made the cut. I’d be interested for sure. I really want a mint SX again but, just can’t find one and don’t have the time (or place) to tinker with it right now. I’ve got your number somewhere.

I am interested to try it if nothing else , the biggest draw to me is the dealer is 12 miles from me , the nearest polaris dealer is 30 minutes and cat... well... if I needed a dealer I would be in some water with that one... 15 minutes ago, Zambroski said: I’d be interested for sure.

The most mention on the Lynx is the front limit strap was more of a bungy cord material and would stretch to make the front end light and push through the corners. Possible change to a more conventional strap to maintain ski pressure. The other knock it the rear suspension was not user friendly to adjust on the trail.

I'm assuming the Lynx 600R (see video) is the same as the North American 600 R E-tec MXZ variants - not the (RS) SX sled. If so and were done like the 850 version, it's completely viable irl2 emissions and XC racing. Thing is though, it's still not a really good looking sled, better than the daffy's but still...

mnstang Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 I thought the lynx was kind of a sled made for ungroomed whooped out nasty trail? Probably good in the ditch then too. But I thought that's what they said, not really an off trail, crossover, or trail sled.. but kind of a new segment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The epa only has the 850 in the chassis variant listed. Its like carb , the engine maybe approved but the chassis it is in with the evaporative location must be approved too. 5 minutes ago, mnstang said: I thought the lynx was kind of a sled made for ungroomed whooped out nasty trail?

That was my entire reasoning for wanting that sled/chassis. My biggest problem is its fucking red... how does one make that look good...

I’m watching but, the 20 mile distance per tank is a problem and, like I said, I don’t really have the time or place to make it more workable right now….but, I make bad decisions all the time when it comes to adrenaline motorsports. Fact is, the SX is cheaper for me to convert that an RXC for what I want….it’s just more of a PIA. 22 minutes ago, racinfarmer said: The primer gray was great, it was just a bitch to keep clean.

A friend of a friend out by me has built a few conversion tanks under the seat for the 19(?) and up SX. I can get his info for you if you’d like. I think they’re 9 or 10 gallons.

Zam, if you or anyone you know comes across a factory mod sled let me know. I have a buddy that collects them and is always looking for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
