Guest Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Looks like they bought all the Polaris left over short tunnels from the original Axys days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Sharp looking sled. Kind of a different looking rear suspension and tunnel the way suspension is mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend had a Rave 2 years ago that spent some time on. With the uncoupled suspension and bungee cord type front limit strap reminded me of an Assault. Both needed more rider input as far as rider position for trail riding. Easy to pull the ski's off the ground which is great for a 50/50 off trail sled. Just wasn't the sled for me as I prefer a more planted sled in the corners. Other guys the Rave will fit them perfect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the high, narrow firm seat and high end suspension bits. They're getting to be stupid money though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) they've been doing the add on plastic slab over the back of the skid for a few years now... no need to replace the tunnel if it gets hit. and yes, Polaris could have and should have done something similar with the Balers. https://www.brplynx.com/gb/en/we-are-lynx/blog/the-champion-returns.html Edited November 4, 2023 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean wtf. Shouldn't have to rebuild it from the frame up after a hit that is often so isolated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no problem with my Assaults and using more rider position to make them handle. Keeps you active riding and can be used to your advantage. What I've been doing last 3-4 years is passing my sled down to my wife. I know she would not appreciate the handling habits of an Assault so I've been staying with a 136/137 VR1 or XCR. Last couple years she prefers a VR1. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a couple hay balers at haydays probably 10 years ago he had built Edited November 5, 2023 by Not greg b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It's a reasonable Doo not made for midgets. They need to sell that instead of the other Doo garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICG Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Had my first glimpse of a Lynx last weekend.... Liked what I saw & enthusiasticly waiting to see their full line up at SAM's Snow Show at The Big E, in Springfield on the 18 + 19 this month. Like the sharp colors, but they don't match my suits...

One reason dark colours have this effect is that they draw the eye away from the body to the head, hands and feet, making you appear taller and slimmer. They also help hide any bumps or bulges. By contrast, lighter colours emphasise your contours, as these are more likely to produce shadows in light-coloured clothing. Actually, though, if you want a slimming effect, the best method is to wear the same solid colour from top to toe. The single colour creates an illusion of length and prevents your body looking as if it has been divided in two at the waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they made them larger than the Axis on the VR1 chassis, but thats the only sled I've ever gotten my feet stuck in the footwells, and it happened twice on the same sled. I have normal size 10 feet, not cornfield lummox size 15 and I still had trouble with my Klims getting stuck in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag6240 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I never put my feet in the foot wells. Maybe if it’s -20 on a rail grade to get some added wind protection, but that’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
