Are you running the Pro Taper bars? Any particular reason for the swap?
Axys Assaults came with Pro Taper bars. It was all stock.

What a shame all this beautiful fresh snow and clubs working their tails off to get trails open.
Will be interesting to see if the OFSC chimes in as of Jan 13 all was clear to go.
Working our tails off is an understatement. This year has been a nightmare getting trails opened...which we are just getting to that point now.
It is my understanding that the District 11 office had zero notice of the Health Unit's decision.

I'm devastated. Been at our trails volunteering since the beginning of December to get opened in an already difficult year.
Enjoyed a few good rides with my wife and kids obeying all provincial guidelines....and now this....
-
We have a lot of really good stretched of trail with lots of snow followed by plenty of wide open running water, open swamps, etc. It's frustrating for sure.
Clubs with mostly road based trails are open and doing well. Those of us relying on cold temps are stuck waiting.
As I type this I'm getting messages with "shouldn't the trails be open by now" in them.....argh....

Less is Best, when it comes to SM pages these days. Always have to refer people back to the IATG etc...
Problem was, some clubs report where and what they do, some clubs don't. If you are used to seeing a club report every little thing, then all of a sudden you are in a different area, and hit something you weren't expecting, because the club didn't "report "it, then it becomes a liability issue.
Or, maybe the logging issues started at noon today, and the club updated at breakfast time etc...
Too many money hungry lawyers looking for a way to "Get you What you Deserve", when what you deserve is a swift kick in the arse and take responsibility for your own actions.
Nailed it. I am one of the moderators for our clubs FB page and I can tell you we are posting less than ever before. Can't post hazards, can't screenshot the ITG.
To be honest we are all volunteers and groomer operators. the FB page is last on our priority list of things to do. Sad but true.

Currently the D trail is closed north of Sundridge to the A101D, preventing a link to Bonfield. Does anyone here know if this is a simple lack of snow/frost and the long road section? Hoping that might be open later this week. Any Chance?
some wet sections in there. its now been packed/brushed with the groomer, should open soon.

Awesome. And thats from a Doo guy. Damn i like that sled.
Thanks! There’s some custom panel/decal swapping done on this one. This colour combo technically wasn’t available at snow check. I really like the blue this year though.

Looking forward to it!

I got an ownership for my kids 120 that I bought used.
I believe at the time I requested that the seller register it and have an ownership to sign over to me.
Never insured it though.

As a father of two young daughters...I can't imagine.

I groomed D trail from Astorville to Hwy17, D102C, and SSR703 to Lk. Nipissing last night.
Starting to see some bare spots. In town/road running sections are bad. Otherwise, for the most part holding up pretty good.
I don't like Sunday's forecast though. The sun and warm temps are killing us.

I am going to order the 850VR1 137 and likely the 650 VR1 137 for Mrs Nunz, and try it out, If the voice of reason prevailed I would order both 650's but that little extra on the top end is sure nice to have when needed. She will decide at the sled show in Barrie in a couple of weeks. From my ride it in January I would have no problem riding the 650 anyday.
Without sounding like a 'cheerleader' I would agree. I currently own a 2020 600 Indy 137 and a 2019 Assault 850.
I found the 650 to be a perfect blend or middle ground between the two.
The 650 has the same smoothness and linear pull that the 850 has and noticeable more power than the current 600.

Lots of hype, from all the different brand cheerleeders. Unfortunately, what you ride as great and new innovations at these early demo rides, is not necessarily what you may be getting when your order finally arrives in late fall. The sled you ride in the demo may have 20 HP more stuffed into the tune. A very easy thing to do these days. The one you receive will be dialed back, for warranty sake. I,m always amazed how gullible sledders are, and how easily they get sucked into the hype. Look back at past performance from all the brands, and make your choices carefully.
Throw out all the brand loyalty b.s. What would you really expect to hear from all the brand loyal chosen ones ? What makes them such experts, after a few days of wining and dining ?
I'm sorry you feel this way.
Yes I am a Brand Ambassador for Polaris. Yes I represent a manufacturer that I believe in.
Yes my comments and reviews represent my opinions of riding the new equipment.
For what it's worth, this is not my first pre-production ride and I have no reason to believe Polaris will 'de-tune' for production.

800 Motor gone or just available in season?
Handguards from Polaris have LED lighting?
Gone in most sleds (snowcheck or in season). I believe still offered in the Titan.

most everything is still green and the forecast looks favourable. Mrs and I are considering a trip north starting tomorrow.
thoughts?
P.
I haven't been out since the weekend but things seem to have held up not too bad.
The stretch in/out of north bay just off of D trail is a challenge for us to keep maintained with heavy traffic so it is beat up and bare in spots. It's yellow on the map currently I believe.

Gotta ask why the Assault over a 137 VR1? Do you ride more off trail than on trail?
I've had Assaults since they first came out in the Axys chassis in 2017. I just really like the fun factor and off-trail versatility.
I have a remote access cottage that I got to periodically and play off-trail, although I'll admit I ride mostly trail from home.
The Assault has the IGX uncoupled suspension, where the 129/137 ProCC is a coupled skid. The 137 would certainly suit my needs and would be a very close 2nd for me. If I was purely trail riding it would be the VR1 - 137 hands down. The reality is, you don't give up much on-trail performance with the Assault, but you gain alot more off-trail capability. Just my 2c.

How are the new grips on the handle bars?
Same gripper skis?
Automatic grips are awesome. The type of thing you didn't know you needed.
None of the sleds we rode had grippers on them, they had pro-steers. However, I order my Assault with grippers.
-
Ski stance is the same. VR1 handles amazing. I had the opportunity to ride these sleds in January along with Nunz and some other ambassadors..
The 650 is definitely a winner. Such a smooth free spooling engine. I was impressed.
Any questions, shoot.

Is that kimpex 2 up seat set up?
Yes it is. I opted for the kimpex vs. the Polaris setup so that I could still use the bag on the tunnel.

Ofsc reducing trails in southern D5
in Club Ontario South
Posted
This is true. We have bought a new snowmobile and a new drag over the past couple of years for the stretch of D trail near Trout Lake in North Bay.
The equipment, fuel, insurance etc. to operate it is not funded by the OFSC. This is not a secondary trail as most people know.
