No worries! The XCR already has the best rear skid in the biz and they found a way to make it better w/o the need for an active suspension. The long tail torsion spring will be a mod i'm performing this summer which means my '23 will become a '26 850 unicorn..😆

Ahh, same as last year. Not sure why everyone is so surprised with today's pricing. Its everywhere. To our benefit, last winter created a surplus of new non currents at huge discounts. Although it would be nice to buy a '26 Assault Boost what's wrong with a '24 SB XC 850 for half the price (yes, $14k) Its exactly the same as the assault except for the 7s (optional) and the shock pkg? Silver lining fellas!

BTW, NOT a new rear skid in the XCR, just different torsion springs (long tail) They came off the XC race sleds and there's some folks out there have been performing this mod for a few years now. Nice to see, the XCR now comes with the 7s as standard. No 850, just 650 and 9R. Just imagine a 9r short track in the twisties.. YAY! Polaris 2026 changes

I respectfully disagree. If you want a go everywhere do everything, get something with a 144/146" track with a 1.6" lug. Get that expedition stuck and you'll regret the day you even considered.

Radar?? 😎

Believe it or not, my wife and I are at Mt Valin, arrived saturday evening and its been snowing ever since. We went for a rip yesterday and the trails has a significant amount of fresh power and in the open areas the drifting was crazy with gusts up to 70+ km/hr. Buried my sled and needed 4 of us to get it out :(. Help was provided by a couple of guys from Guelph of all places and then a couple of young frenchman on mountain sleds also came to our rescue. One of the young frenchmen I met last year while having lunch at Onochiway. So funny! On a day where we saw less than 10 sleds all day. I was so deep I had called 911 for a rescue before my wife flagged down the guys from Guelph. Still snowing today so I think the groomers will remain parked until it subsides, I have friends showing up tomorrow night with hopes the trails are in good shape for thursday and friday. Finger's crossed and sincerest of thanks to the guys that saved our lives!

First list is a copy/past of what's in the Poo kit :). I think this cover's it! Thanks everyone

Thank you - very helpful. Yes, Poo has a kit and I'm using it for an example after reading your post!

Found out this isn't a "mini" but a micro space. I went to c-tire and couldn't believe all the different tiny fuses they carry.

I maintain a fairly large toolkit in my enclosed trailer but I'm building a small toolkit to keep on my sled. I want to keep it down to the most commonly used tools that I should carry. I have a '23 polaris which only comes with a driven clutch and spark plug tool.. My tool bag is 10’’ x 6’’ x1 1/4’’ (25,5 cm x 15,2 cm x 3,2 cm). Here is my list (Hand tools only please) - looking for input: Adjustable wrench (8") Torx screwdrivers - What sizes?? (T20/25/27/30?) Philips screwdriver - what size? (I'm thinking #2) Combination wrenches, metric/stubby. - What sizes? Combination ratchet wrench - What size? I always have a 10mm on hand. Plyers - std and needle nose Side cutters Vise grips Tie wraps. Any and all help appreciated! P.

Looking for information on the form factor of this fuse. Is a 3amp spade type but quite small. I gave my spare away yesterday so I need a replacement.

Intending to take a run north of Ladysmith tomorrow with some friends. The northern part of 311 just went red from green and the bypass (780) is now yellow. Anyone been up there lately? I'd rather drive an extra 30 mins that spend an hour on a goat path. BTW, the Pontiac club's groom was repaired yesterday and with todays snowfall I'm hoping for a positive result.

if you don't mind me asking, what did you get for it?

Got to love it when that happens! I have a Hero Black that works great but like all of them, poor battery life in the cold. I carry 3 batteries.

This^^^. How much do you weigh with gear and how much do you typically store on your tunnel? You may need to go up a size or 2 on the torsion springs. Also, take your time dialing in the handling. It may under-steer a bit out of the box so take it easy until you get everything setup to your liking. And, welcome to the family
