I have a 22 xtx-le and conquer that it's more trail friendly but the ability to go off trail and run down the lake in 2ft powder makes it work great for me, northern quebec trail riding is what this was designed for 👍
Great episode. Wish Yamaha wasn’t exiting the industry. They always have great stuff and competition is what makes everything better.
No mention of the Fusion 😂
Nice trip down memory lane. We all have our favourite models that stand out. The Centurion was one of those for me. I had a lot of triples in the different body styles and the XLT was the most fun and bang for your buck. Had a lot of the 488's liquid and fan. Reliable is what I think of. I currenty ride a 2022 650 VR1. Is the most playful sled I have owned. Corner to corner it os a blast. We dont have big lakes where I am from. So the big turbos dont shine as much here. But they are fun. 9R is the up and comer for trail grunt
From Northwoods Snowmobiling LLC, Happy Easter Snowtrax!
Nothing like snow traxon you tube and 80 degrees on Easter
Great episode!👍👍
Had a lot of triples over the years still have a lot it's amazing how Polaris just smokes the rest of the industry
That Polaris domestic twin first appeared in the 1998 XC.
Nooo! Arctic Cat snowmobiles were the first all aluminum chassis. My uncle Ed's two Arctic Cat Panthers 292 cc were all aluminum chassis in 1968. My Dad's Arctic Cat Panther was all aluminum chassis in 1970. Polaris Indy just copied their brother's in Thief River Falls MN.😊
Two questions. Does the 998 turbo have engine overheating issues riding trails? Living in Southern Ontario I thought after market cans were illegal even the trail models? Great content as usual
I took your advice Mark and Luke. You said that the Polaris Indy XC could carry two people.
Polaris was a real dumpster in the 2000's. I'd love to hear what the executives and product managers were thinking in 2001 when the Rev, Firecat, and RX-1 seemed to catch them totally flat-footed. Everything felt desperate after that - from those Pro X2 models with the funky seat which were supposed to be "rider-forward", to the Fusion disaster, to IQ chassis pivot which was just the mountain chassis hood on a Fusion and a revert to their old twin engines. The Rush was ok, but I can't believe such a radical concept was greenlit with all the trouble they were having as a brand. It really wasn't until the Axys that Polaris hit their stride again, but even that seemed lucky because it was a doubling down on the concept of the 2013 Indy SP, which was a budget rush without the uncoupled suspension that happened to work amazingly well. I guess the Assault was doing it too. But honestly the Matryx felt like the first time in 15+ years that Polaris was actually innovating and on par with the Rev's. That's a long time.
What is the advantage of the "quiet " can? Just weight loss? There was no mention of HP gain.
ok the IQ was trash, most people i know thought it was going to put Poo under, especially the 900. the IQR was sweet but a whole other animal and the chassis was never engineered for mass production.
What does W.O.T. mean?
Luke the word is panache not pa-na-che
2 things wrong here. Polaris did not build the performance twin market. Skidoo was light years ahead in twins while everyone was into triples. Also the iq chassis was junk and everyone knows that. It was aoo far behind cat and skidoo it wasn't funny.
