mnstang Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 When do we start betting on MSRP of an 858 r-xc with e-start. God that sounds so wrong just saying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, people on FB were adamant that 858 would be 175-180hp because they said the ctec 800 was 160 HP and 11% more puts it in that area. So I'm not sure who to believe here......................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you do the math with a the 858 stroke and the current 600 bore it comes out to 640 some cc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be alone in this but Like real racers don't tweak and tune the suspension for their own personal needs. The way to not dilute it would be by not making estart part of the package. If you can't pull it over... see our other offerings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to start demanding that Polaris offer the 600 Cross Country with an 850, electric start, a heated seat, dummied down shocks for easy tuning, and mirrors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized not everyone is into that. That's fine. I have a two up Puma. But they're changing what an r-xc is supposed to be to appeal to those people that aren't into it... Which abandons the actual hardcore people that the sled was created for. Which is what happened with snopro. And what happened with RR. They make these sleds for people that aren't aggressive riders but want to feel like they are and pretend like they are, and then the sled suffers for the actual original intended use.. the sled and name eventually loses all meaning after everyone catches on, they have to make up a new name and start the cycle all over again. R-xc is supposed to be a cross country race sled. It should never have e-start. It should never have anything over 600 because it for sure is not a cross country racer. It is selling out the name. If you're a cat fan you should respect what the sled is supposed to be. It's not something you buy for your wife or kid because they like the colors. And the amount of dbags getting the 858 rxc is going to really tarnish it. I can see alot of the boomer skidoo wannabe fast guys buying one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
