I'm curious how my pig will do on top end with a 20x1.8x154 track and 180 hp. I owned an XCR600 SP back in the day, same basic sled other than the motor, and they had plenty of top end for sure. Don't need a boost. Come over here and will show you how bad an assault will gape your POS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle yourself. I owned an Assault. My brother owned 2 of them. I'm in a Polaris promotional video singing their praises. They're great sleds, I'd never say otherwise. If I wanted one, I'd have one. i will tell you this, 0-80 do the math on 180 hp, 20x154x1.8 traction. I have no clue beyond that cuz I haven't had a chance to see for myself. I also know that my 19 Renegade turbo with 30 less hp had no trouble running down 850s on top end, so like I said, I'm curious how this thing will do top end wise. If it goes 95-100 gps I'm happy.

Running down what 850? Some faggy back country or free ride with a 154 or some gay shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger** Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The Assault has more of a chance to run down the older sleds than most all the new sled combined in 1000', its all about the attack of the track or the angle of the track but the Assault is just ok on the trail and off trail and it will never be a sled that is great at either one.

Another Renegade chassis like I had at the time. Old Forge shootout #s show them quicker and faster than any of the 850s the one year they put us #s for them. I don't have enough time on my new one to really judge, but the original 900 turbos were underated hp wise imo. And believe me, I'd expect the hp on the new turbo to more likely be overrated than under. I'm not expecting to be winning any top speed contests with it. But I do expect it to launch like crazy. I never had a chance to really wring out my last turbo top end wise, and then I geared it down and put a 1.75 track on it anyways, so no point after that. Saw 110 with m XF1100 turbo 141 on GPS, 99 on a 14 Freeride with a 1.75 track, 94.9 on my Backcountry 146 w a 1.6" The last sled I owned that would crack 120 on GPS was my Apex.

Yes many times, fun sled but you work a little harder getting them around corners on the trails, honestly never ridden one off trail. The Assault comes close to the older sleds in the way the track angle approaches the ground now take my 850 the track has a harder angle to the ground in turn it eats up more. Steve your turn.
