Will be interesting to see the price and what’s offered for warranty and features! Other then the 9R and colour wonder what’s different over the snowcheck sleds? I would think the only difference is colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted August 6, 2024 Share Posted August 6, 2024 So this will be available for the upcoming season to receive/ride? How would that work for a person that snowchecked a sled and now they release this?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it this is a last minute release for the season, that I imagine will interest many in either platfrom, however if I snowchecked a sled last fall, I might be pissed off to see this come out. Not really taking care of your loyal fan base. But I’m sure not a first for any of the manufacturers either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular xlt was similar price around 7100 ish and xlt special was close to 7850 at the time. My dad wouldn't let me have xlt 🤣. He was always a 440 fan. Have to dig out pic of that sled. Mine was white with red decals 😎. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure snow check crowd still got best deal, longest warranties, etc. These limited edition sleds won't be cheap either. Polaris just has some capability to build a few more sleds not surprising they do somthing at last minute to boast sales. Maybe they be some cancelations go in now and people will order limited edition one for 4K more 😆. Can order from September 9 to 28th I believe it is.

Sksman Posted August 7, 2024 Share Posted August 7, 2024 What were the3models Polaris planned to sell the most of for 2025? 1. Switchback Assault with 9R 2. Pro RMK with 9R? Or Boost? 3. VR1 Dynamix with 850? Top 3 they planned to produce and ordered the parts for will be offered as limited edition. But I doubt anything will be different from Snowcheck other then colour.

I got a jacket and $500.00 in snow check money too - that paid for ski skins, skid plate, light cover, trim kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 I heard someone burned down snowmobile bridge just east of Whitney on top B. Let's hope they can fix it or it be closed this winter too 😡. Steel frame is still intact I heard. Hopefully it don't need to be re-engineered 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “green” tree hugging folks…same ones that do not want forestry maintenance done, that help preventing extremely bad conditions… How bad are the ones in QC - going to create issues for the season ahead? Which on this topic, did the repairs end up getting done through the Gaspe region? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 Okay, feeling very fall’ish today and winter is on the mind of course. I’m seeing plenty of caterpillar webs nice and high in the trees, always a good sign of a great winter to come! Lakes are going to be plenty warm making for some nice lake effect snow…. Georgian bay is a very nice temp this year actually…..was in it during July long weekend and it normally still feels like icicles, not this year, in it last week and it was very pleasant. I know I’m not going to be able to ride much this year with my son now in rep hockey, but I’m still excited about winter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
