Crnr2Crnr Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 let's discuss the Polaris 9R haven't had much time to do my DD on their latest potential consumer catastrophe yet, so what do we in the know actually know? impressed they brought it to market no less as I thought the road might end at 850cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) It's a crazy market right now. Limited new sleds from Polaris and Ski-Doo. Arctic Cat who knows what they're doing if anything. Used sleds are insane. Just sold my wife's (my old sled) 2021 VR1 6300 miles for what I bought it for. Edited March 3, 2022 by Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can very much see this mill coming to a flatland sled soon if it has a good track record in the mountains, don't know which one but a quick revving 7%+hp would have to be amusing in the right circumstance. In the Snowwest video it was cool of him to compare the boost against the 9R. How did they meet EPA I do wonder? Years of experience, good and bad with the 800? Clearly I have no need or desire to own one, but am impressed they tamed a mod motor enough to sell it to the general public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't "need" to go more than 90, but throttle response is the key to a shit eating grin. Figure it'd pair nicely with the XCR shocks and a 1.5" 136. Somehow I trust NA more than turbo... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet stock for stock that 900 will give the boost fits at sea level until someone puts a tune in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put that mill in a bare bones XC with a heavily studded 128x14x1 track, proper clutching and gearing and head to the pond. 9R = F7 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q; Who makes a cold air intake for these? Q; What kind of can...? Q; Who's tune puts up the biggest numbers and will it void my warranty?

Sounds like Carl's did all the r&d, top of the case is different. Factory mod to retail public... that's the real gamble. 1 hour ago, Not greg b said: They figured it out.

"factory mod" even you fell for this marketing bs??? Its a production engine..... going to be just as "reliable" as any other factory production poo over 600 cc built in the last 20 years.....
