as for T motion it doesnt need it. But it sure is nice for riders to improve their skills. Advanced riders dont need it.
Exactly why Polaris doesn’t have it. Glad you finally saw the light
Lol

How much more do people want? Polaris a new motor and suspension changes last year, Cat with the Alpha, Doo is going on year four which tends to lean towards a large change for 2021 for them, Cat is going to the inventory management option and I don’t see Polaris making a large change this year. I don’t think they have a big reason to.
I would expect similar changes to Polaris as Doo has released and the shorter tunnel longer track option, Burandt has been hyping it up and likely has been told to do so. Maybe some suspension changes but the chassis is already pretty good for the guys who like it.
So many people want something new every year but complain about the prices and rarely are the guys who spring check every year anyways.
Understood they are all great sleds and huge improvements over last 8 yrs however you gotta keep the consumers on edge, changing colours won’t justify tossing another 16,000. Cat thought out of the box last yr good on them. Be innovated. Skidoo handle bar shortening, awesome. But what experienced rider hasn’t already done that in aftermarket parts without having to cough up extra 2 grand for a expert package.

Id definitely get a expert package sled,
It has everything on it already, the extra cost over the x makes it cheaper than doing up a sp or a x.
Arctic Cats release would seem to confirm that the King Cat isn't happening for 2020. Or just about any sled with a 4 stroke for that matter besides the thundercat.I was told today there won’t be a 2020 kingcat, have heard a rumour there won’t be a mtx sidewinder either. But I don’t believe anything anymore after the 880 rumour.
I prefer to install raptor shocks all the way around over any skidoo shock package. CFR bars and risers/ munster ski bushing. Other then a chopped tunnel. call this my version of a expert package
Have you done any research that shows these all new KYBs perform worse than Raptors? Maybe they work better. Tough to say without trying.
I have ran Raptors on my last 5 sleds but now with a 65 cent dollar I think I’ve bought my last brand new set of raptors for awhile.

it your wow'd by updated oil line clamps the strap into your seat!
Me fail English
The expert is 700 more than the X. but you are right, 700 bucks extra is for the coated shocks plus 1 piggy back rear, hand guards and remote limiter. All the rest of the 14 changes should actually cut the cost of the machine.And the Summits... no more 174"...? I guess that fad is over? Or is a 174" not expert? I'm trying to see what all you really get in this so called expert package. Hand guards, whoopee. Less tunnel, no flap = more money? Shorter bars are an expert thing and not a general preference thing? The stubby mountain bar probably cost all of zero dollars more to produce than the old one, and that's hardly an "expert" upgrade (good upgrade or not). Seat is smaller too I guess, but were people really tripping over the old one every two seconds?
I seriously look at this thing and think they're nuts. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for options, but this should be X or expert, take your pick, they cost the same (or within $500 at most). Maybe I'm missing something here...?
Now, if you want real expert upgrades, include the linq fuel can, tunnel mounted shovel and avy probe, built in GPS and sat tracking in the gauge cluster (with a free year, on-star style).
I was told today that Yamaha is going to do the same as Cat and go with the 2020 spring check or nothing next fall. They must still have significant inventory to do this 2 years in a row?
