850, 174 is available. Couldn’t find power anywhere. Here’s what I was able to pull off the website:

That was disappointing. Classic case of the marketing guys dictating the engineering group. I could just hear what was being said at the board room meeting, Fist pounding on the desk, WE NEED AN 850 FOR NEXT SEASON!! I guess 850 is the new standard in two strokes.

Can you make that in the Hitler video?

not enough of a change to buy a new 850.for 6000 you can turbo your axys and blow the doors off the 850 and you saved 10,000 and don't have to worry about the bugs the new motor is going to have.kinda disappointing for me.

if you haven’t noticed, ski doo sets the standard and everyone else just follows eventually.
Track size, paddle size, engine size, ski stance. Doo makes it, everyone copies it. Except shot that is.
ill give it to cat for the alpha 1

Or that sweet horizontal steering, don't forget that.
Or how about those space age torsion springs in the skid?? Now theres something I'm sure Polaris is just waiting to release...
And that sweet tmotion?? Which is the lock out of choice these days anyway??

Looks like Polaris has addressed a few of the issues guys bitched about for the past few years- can the Doo faithful say the same thing??

Back on topic...

Not sure what to think about that MSRP. If it’s actually USD and not a site glitch that’s nuts. Even if it’s in CDN $18k for a sled is a boatload of money. Agree with some of the others on the turbo comment. Could turbo my 174 LE, professionally installed, and I’d be in for less then the MSRP of this thing. No first year bugs; machine proven to take boost. Very tough to justify...

lol at all the buy now pay letter offers.

I guess only time will tell if they are following Skidoo, if we find Poo blowing belts and breaking modules then i say YES....COPY CAT.
But if that's not the case, Poo might be setting a new standard in how an 850 SHOULD work and Skidoo might be saying WTF, maybe we should tell the truth and stop doing the BS thing.

I wondered that myself but noticed on the first screen before the options that it said, 16099 can MRSP. I think and hope its a website glitch.
