Where's the 656?

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.........................

Start touting 6 farty. I guess if you do the math with a the 858 stroke and the current 600 bore it comes out to 640 some cc.

If anyone cares, the new bottom end (75.6 mm stroke), combined with the current 600 bore (73.8) would give them a 646 (technically 646.78)

646 is lame.  666 however is a seller.

When do we start betting on MSRP of an 858 r-xc with e-start.  God that sounds so wrong just saying it.

That is because it shouldn't exist.

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.

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.

That’s right I forgot it was you that had posted it. I knew someone had. Call it six and a half to screw with people.

Why? Can't race it. Who are you to tell people what should, and not exist?

I have balsa wood, glue and a pop riveter. I can make that happen. Maybe pound a few nails in it for extra safety??

You can build it. Not everyone is all into the have-to-have race sled, no E-start. Just life.

It should be the RR and the RXC offered via the race department.

What? THE 858 IS NOT IN A RACE CLASS THAT I KNOW OF. Put on a tutu, and embrace the electric start.

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.

Bolt the ice auger mount right through the friggen hood.

F the rxc. We are taking putting cans on a sled literally and shutting down every trail we rid one. Shit got real fast. You squint it’s mint. And twin pipz. 

Btw what is the best 858 can and what oil is the best?
