MXZSlider Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 That VR1 is a very narrow machine stance wise. Wonder how twitchy it is at speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stance is the same, cockpit is different should not affect steering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I misinterpreted the live release stream. They said 4" narrower, guess I assumed it was ski stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-crz- Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed 1 hour ago, gobills said: I don't like how they are charging for different colors. Ya, having the different choices is nice. Some of the costs associated with them not so much. Still, they've given the consumer options instead of looking like the rest of the masses out there. Oddly they dropped the Blue/White/Black scheme this year (??) Actually don't mind the Purple/White & Silver scheme myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Well it was hard keeping my secret for so long after being in Minnesota with a bunch of fellow ambassadors in January including CRZ aka Jason, it was a great time and for anyone looking at the new Matryx it is an incredible machine they have built, The new 650 Patriot motor is very strong and will surprising quite a few people for next year. Well done Polaris and if anyone has any questions feel free to reach out to me and I will do my best to answer any questions. Here is a couple of pics from my time at the event in January and one from the dealer show in Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone in most sleds (snowcheck or in season). I believe still offered in the Titan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
