We have that in our fearless puppet president. That would be an improvement over the Polaris presentations. Even in the "detailed" walkthroughs, Polaris was sketchy on details. I have found that people are impressed when a subject matter expert can talk details in a way that regular people understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, what good is all that power??? Seriously, I thought the turbo T-Cat stretched my arms another inch, I wonder how much longer they'd get after one pull on that thing? I'd like to find out, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good idea since they failed with tweetle dumb before. 8 hours ago, p51mstg said: I sure hope so. They need to study the Polaris presentation. It's fairly short and it wouldn't be too much to ask that they watch it several times. The Polaris VP dude didn't try to get technical and do everything himself. There were 5 people together in person and each worked together to pull it off. I've spoken to John a few times. He could have done it all himself, super capable guy and I expect the big things to continue to come out of Polaris under his lead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslowsledder Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Honest question, not that familiar with the in's and out's of Polaris sleds, are they more expensive than Ski Doo sleds this year? Love the ability to pick colors, but every time I select an Indy version with a 650 it ends up being close to or over 20k. Just did an Indy Adventure 650 with electric start, 137, comes in at $20,200. A VR1 650 with some color, 129, and electric start is $18,600 Plus Freight, PDI of course Perhaps I'm not comparing apples to apples. See both have the 7s gauge included, and perhaps better shocks? A Renegade X 600 in yellow is only $15,700, does not have the upgrade gauge A Blizzard 600 with 129 track is $16,200, again standard gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Build a base unit without the gauge and custom colors. That is more apples to apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks, makes more sense, selected Indy SP 137, comes in at $14,999. What would you compare that to, a Renegade X 600, or base Renegade?

cats19 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Taiga's will be fast. But impractical for those who like to put on the miles. You have to be guaranteed a charging station at every stop or your f*kd. But I don't doubt the torque would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick, yes, but will run out of legs pretty fast. Not practical is a huge understatement though. Last weekend at the most popular stop (Ice Cracking), there were over 100 sleds. Where would you begin to charge that many? Never going to go mainstream in my lifetime. Very small market for such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having the "X" in the name, I'd guess the base renegade would probably be closer to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the cost difference is being able to order the Polaris with no estart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
