800 engine

[Rhodesie]

same engine for the hills but some interesting changes to the flatland 800.

2015 Polaris 800 RUSH PRO-S Snowmobile : Overview CA

 

[ABMax24]

I seen this:

Bluetooth™ functionality: Enables the gauge to communicate with the rider’s cell phone and provide notification of incoming calls or texts

Like seriously, because work can't get ahold of you easy enough, now your sleds going to let you know when they're calling too?


But the engine looks cool, wonder what power output will be?

Diff panels, HO motor, led headlights, cool cluster all on shortys. Cant wait till '16 for rmks turn. Suprised they didnt go bigger changes but it is wat it is.

 

[ABMax24]

On another note, the terrain domination series Pro's look pretty cool.

Interesting. At least everyone will know what motor is coming next season. Chances are they may add direct injection rather then semi direct though. Depends on how emission friendly the new HO motor is.

Will she hold up to boost Neil? Lol.

2015 Polaris Snowmobiles Include New 800 H.O. Engine

Not to be negative, but is it smart to take the crank out of a 600 and put it in the 800? Reliability has been the issue, is a lighter crank really the way to go? Hopefully the flatlander guinea pigs find all the bugs next year.

Depending on where the weight was removed from, I just like it if they could find a quality cast piston.

Do they usually test out new motors in the trail sleds first before putting them in the mountain lines? Or why do you figure they wouldn't be putting the new motors in the rmks as well? Not confident enough that it can handle the punishment maybe? Haha

Sometimes they are geared up to build X amount of engines. How many Rmks would they have sold if it came with the new engine? Probably lots.

Pretty good chance there will be a few running around in long track versions with belt drive. Maybe even with a turbo.

But what mastermind would build such a sled?

 

[rmscustom]

New motor only fits in the Axys bulkhead and not the Pro Ride. Assuming RMK will get the Axys update for 16... Or Maybe limited fall release

 

[BrosBeforeHos]

Trying it on the trail sled = tow job. Trying it on the mountain sled = helicopter ride. Rather get a tow. Hopefully they did more R&D on this motor.

Im really thinking about being one of the guinea pigs for this new engine, not sure what kinda set up i want yet tho, got till april 15 for snowcheck anyway.

Have they said if the bluetooth communication setup is compatible with avalanche beacons? Im sure they would have to be, but I know having your cell phone on, or using WIFI enabled gopros can cause interference.

I havent read the details, maybe its just on the trail sleds...?
