How do you go from telling everyone to turn their clickers to full soft for a rough trail to then saying a snox sled rides too stiff? Derp. Makes sense. Take a sled made for taking 75' jumps and ride it on 1-2' chatter shit. Can be serio perfect for both. For fuck sakes, have you even ever ridden a sled???

Deephaven Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The big stuff to me is jumping road approaches and the like. If you owned a capable sled maybe you would try it. Not my fault your idea of a ride is like what my grandmother would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Less than 8 hours to go before the unveiling. Despite the prediction of a 9R Boost, I don't see that happening just for the fact it makes no sense to turbo the 9R in addition to the 850 Boost. If Polaris were to add an additional turbo I'd expect that in the 4-stroke sleds but that's just me. 100% speculation on my part, but I just can't see the 9R being boosted. The bigger question is going to be, what will Polaris actually get for snow check volumes in 2025?!? I wonder how close Cat will be with the 858 orders (if production was equal).

My son said the 9 was better for tight technical riding in the trees and such but found the boost to be more fun in the open areas and hill climbing. He bought the boost. Releasing anything groundbreaking this year would be silly after the winter we just had. Will be a slow market next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my fault your idea of a ride is like what my grandmother would like. You are the very definition of riding like a grandmother. Not knowing that stiffening the damping for a rough trails allows you to go faster proves it. 5 hours ago, Bontz said: Less than 8 hours to go before the unveiling.

You will see I’m right in a few more hours. This will be the lowest snowcheck season for Polaris since they invented the program in the 80’s. Just now, Deephaven said: 9R XCR and I'll be happy. Stop, just stop, you’re embarrassing yourself. Have you considered the EVO 550? It is more your speed. Then guys won’t make fun of you for riding 10 mph over the whoops with your clickers set full soft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A turbo on a 9R makes it the best combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Dumbass, that is what you implied. In order to deal with jumps my are turned up. When the trail gets rough they are too stiff and need to be turned down. You have the reading comprehension of a 6 year old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just admit you have no clue what the clickers do and you just spin them to try and look cool in the bar parking lot. Does it make you angry that Jimwit is a much faster rider than you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 So an 850, 850 Boost, 9R, and a 9R Boost? It doesn't make sense unless they entirely change course on the 850 ... which I don't see happening (not this year anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
