Where was all the hype? Nothing was really advertised anywhere and the majority of people expected BNG which really for the Pro line up is what it was being the had a new motor last year.

After dropping the Assault they seemed to be missing something between the RMK and SKS and came up with the Khaos. Meh.

I mean they could have gone Skidoo’s route and offered the shorter tunnel which is nice but Skidoo is charging more for less. That seems like a big win lol

Way to mail it in this year Polaris engineers! Guess they were too busy figuring out how to reflash 840 motors... Seems like the marketing department took the year off too and just used comic book style graffics stolen from '70's Batman cartoons for the Khaos.

Some 850 Doo riders are still trying to catch up to the 800 Polaris’s last I checked


But that being said Polaris has gone down that road before with the Dragon which I always thought was goofy looking.

You're absolutely right! We're not worthy... trying to figure out which 155 to snow check so I'll stand a chance to keep up. That being said the 175 with the heaviest rider did beat the 174 850s to the top...

Well obviously get the Khaos, you can order it with the 800 in case the 840 is too much for you lol

So did my 2019,.. you don't think I bought it just because of the new engine did you?
Probably not seeing all the changes they had to make this year to make that motor worthy!! Seems like they let it out a year before they should have. The ugly wrap and the short track should make up for it though!!

Is this Jim or Maxwell? It says JungleJim but sounds like Maxwell. I guess the Polaris Engineers just did what Ski-Doo Engineers did for 19 as it worked for them. (AKA nothing interesting, other than the comic book graphics that is.)

On side note Polaris does advertise that all RMK models got redesigned rear suspension. (update, I believe this is a cut and paste statement from Polaris from when they introduced the AXYS)I bet many Doo faithful wish they at least got that as I have never heard so many whine about T-Motion and torsion springs. Myself I don't have a problem with their design.

I certainly did not see this last weekend. Unless you are referring to several loop backs to help others while you headed up? If I remember correctly even the 155 handed you your lunch. Or was that a dream? Maybe a rematch is in order to sort this out? ; )

Did you look at the changes to the Summit Expert Chris? Yeah there is some meh stuff like handguards and grab handle but new rear shocks, new cleaner boards, lower seat, lighter weight and new front suspension geometry/ski's that specifically address what you feel is a weakness with Doo in a steep sidehill operation. Shorter tunnel for better snow evacuation and tail stand maneuvers which your personal idol and mentor has been doing for a couple years now? We got some decent improvements, not game changing mind you to the #1 selling mountain sled in North America but great upgrades all in all. And Polaris? They got engine reliability updates and calibration upgrades to stop the blubbering and plug fouling that has plagued them most of the season. Yes you got a new youth sled but I think Doo worked harder at the mountain segment than Polaris did.
