You can really feel the difference compared to a 500 plus lb sled. Edited October 5, 2017 by Edmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are Nascar scales from Intercomp, extremely accurate that I use them for UPS shipping weights, will weigh up to 6000lbs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Checked out this track at the Hdays show. Ended up talking to one of the engineers that worked on the development. Surprising feature is the cornering ability. It is a much more comfortable cornering track while maintaining straight line acceleration. Top end is not improved, but mid range acceleration is better. Lugs hold up better than the Cobra, but cupping and mixed softer lugs with give some of the ride character of the Cobra. The track is not recommended for heavy applications of screw in studs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doorider Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 My 08 800R was weighed at 417 dry. It was real easy to load it onto the trailer when it was broke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 the new axys is about as light as the lightest 08 doo .....difference is the polaris is tougher than a mack truck and the skidoo would crumple if you looked at it sideways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doorider Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 First, dealer installed the taller riser, wire rubbed and it just shut off on me in the middle of nowhere in the UP. Second, after my driveshaft update the dealer forgot to put chaincase oil back in. Stretched the chain so bad and so fast it stopped being able to pull itself first trip out. Then I destroyed the rear axle on it. At the 3300 mile mark the engine decided to rip itself to pieces. Wasn’t sad to see that one go.

Moves out pretty damn good for a little 600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
