Whats polaris bringing for 2017 RMK Axys

[Summitizer]

its been pretty quiet on the 2017's. does anyone have an idea whats comming.

 

[snopro]

I'm think they are scrambling a bit? But I have been wrong before. Lol.

Haven't you heard? They have achieved perfection! Probably have shut down the R&D department!

All kidding aside I would be surprised if there were any big changes out of the Poo camp this year. Hopefully this isn't the case. If the rumours are true on the Doo side, things will be interesting.

Hopefully Polaris just sits back and enjoys the good year they have had.
Just because Doo comes out with something new doesn't mean it's not going to have some growing pains?
We have all seen first year production sleds? Some good and more not so good.

I would guess nothing but color changes, no word on anything new that I can find. If there is anything new they have kept extremely quite about it, I suspect they'll see what Doo, Cat and Yamaha do this year and respond next year. Plus they'd have to discount the 16's again if there were great changes for 17, and there are still dealers out there trying to give away the 15's.

being a polaris guy I think doo just nailed it big time. How many 2008's did you have snowchecked Ken? could see bigger numbers again with the new release. looks pretty sweet!

We did 161 in 2008 at the old store. I don't think in this economy we would even touch that with a 10 foot pole. I think we will do 45-50 this year? Not sure who still has money for toys? Lol.

I imagine sales will be down, heard one of the local Polaris dealers sold less than 5 sleds in a one month period this winter, going to be lots of '16 leftovers this fall, so less might snowcheck trying to get a deal on one of those.

 

[ABMax24]

Polaris is supposed to release the 17's on the 29th.

 

[Little Buddy]

BNG! That would be my guess.

 

[ssjrmk]

Maybe a 174" track?

 

[ABMax24]

I kinda doubt it, skidoo doesn't even show specs currently for a 174" on the new Summit, unless it is a snow check only thing again. Personally I don't need bigger than a 163", especially if it is running a 3" lug.

 

[rightsideup]

Maybe a 174" track?

I have heard that rumor

 

[Complexd]

Maybe 174, but I really hope they come out with the 155 and 163 3" on the belt drive.

Also people have been talking about it for many years, but i think it would be cool to test the waters on a factory turbo 600

 

[j335]

They're gonna do what they did in 2012 with the pro, just minor refinements.

 

[bsoluk]

I heard from a well known dealer that Polaris is coming out with a 174.

 

[Bnorth]

I'd guess revised A arms to handle hits a bit better, a 174, and 3" belt drive option.

 

[pcledrew]

Any chance they release the belt drive on a 155x3"?

 

[dragonweld28]

I heard from a reputable source that the 2017's are faster (could mean a few things) and have a bunch of options at snowcheck time. I guess we will all find out on Monday.

 

[prairie-rider800]

Does anyone know what time the release is at today?
