Looks like an improvement to an already good platform. Hopefull the newer motor is a bit more reliable it would make this a great sled!

I'm just curious as to how "instantaneous" the lift will be when running boost. Are these things going to go right over backwards without serious work to the skid?

Rode one last winter and it does not lift that way the whole things comes up and out of the snow doesn't feel like a wheelie problem at all.

I think I might wait until spring and see if there are any deals.

Anybody carrying spare A Arms? Hopefully they are not too expensive, they should solve the problem of the tunnel buckling in the foot wells.

Why would you need to carry spare A-arms? The new ones are forged Aluminum.

I would expect dealers to have a lot of machines left over in spring, not many people can afford one right now, and most that can are holding on to their wallets.

one concern of mine is the driveshaft. the glued one. have a look on a 13-15 and see how much the shaft and drivers are exposed behind the bulkhead. fairly hidden. the 16 with the raised chassis looks to put the drivers "out there" for them to be possibly hit by stumps and such. I just wonder how that shaft is going to stand up to the possibility of more contact. the 3" sleds and chaincase sleds with the old shaft will most likely take the abuse. the glued one kinda concerns me.

They bend I bent one today. If it was that garbage they used on the 15 I never would have been able to drive out cause the glue would have fell apart too.

Dec 15 2014 - Jan 21 2015 I had some of the best snow I have ever got to ride, My 2013 155 pro just didn't have enough power or track for them days so i decided than that if Poo didn't come out with a 174x3" I was ordering a Doo and that's the only reason I didn't buy one. Even thou I am not really a fan of buying first year stuff (Axys/Motor in the mountain platform) if they made the 174 she would have been in the garage.
