Polaris nothing beats the way were built

I started to drag race Arcticcat in 1976 a 440Z. We jumped into super stock,Mod and Open classes. With my dad setting it up and me racing it. We won just about every race. I had a 634 Puma 440Z and a 700Zr and 900 Zr. That 900 could outrun any of the other sleds. Arcticcat has always been a awesome sled.

I love the smell of 2-strokes in the morning. Smells like...victory.

I have the artic cat limited edition mountain version

it's very dissapointing that all the content creators in the sled market all fixate on the biggest,baddest sleds when there are thousands of guys looking to get into the sport within a modest budget.i'm 57 and have decided to jump in instead of tracking my side by side when i bought on lakefront.there's nothing out there on entry level full size snowmobiles.even the big 3 are guilty of it.they push the turbo mountain sleds and completely ignore the entry level trail machines.it's making it extremely hard to research the right sled for me.

Almost 5 years later & I still think this is the best sled ski doo has ever released! So happy I got my hands on one when I could… they’re rare as hell now. 😂

This is cool to see - im curious of the track is built different like electric cars

Whats tbe best fxr offroad goggle ?

Too BAD Artic Cat dropped Suzuki for Yamaha, and now Yamaha has pulled out of snowmobiles. Where will they get their 4 Stokes Now ? 🇨🇦🤔

Well i bougth a used Khaos 2020 155 myself and it works amazing. Its easy to get used to and it makes me a better rider. It works on the trails but its not made for trails. And not in high speed. Before this one i had a Boondocker 800 with a 4100 or 163" track with 3" lugs. I really liked that sled. I love this one. And will probably buy the Matrix next time.. And the Khaos with the same length. Amazing in the deep and carves like crazy. If you try one you will buy one.. Just to get to know how to adapt to the steering if you are used to BRP,s... And it took me 15.-20 minutes.. The Khaos could not be more different than the old Lynx i had. Lighter and feels lighter than it is even..

Craig-this is how we all spent our Saturdays growing up!

A complete miss. The glory days of the Yamaha snowmobiles were in the 70's with the incredible GPX and Exciter models followed by the SRX sleds.

the ride style has alot of benefits.....the only negative is that its harder to stand all your weight on one tunnel and yank it over sideways for carving. that ability of the older bench style snowmobiles is a liabily 90% of the time but its great for that niche.

Get used one lower price

Wait few years g

COOL

COOL

Everybody talks quick reving. Seams clutching has something to do with that also.

Using tie downs is weak.

never cat life !

Just a 850cc, inline 2, fuel injected, turbocharged, two stroke reactor. nothing to see here.

No engine sound........

Sad how ever this will effect other Yamaha products as a lot of people are brand loyal

Sounds like a set of C & A skis would help it out, made a heck of a difference on my sled

It’s very nice, but not $2000 nice.

You guys gotta stop talken over each other its driving me nutts hearing 2 people talk at the same time

Cat has always had great looking sleds. I REALLY MISS SNOWMOBILING.

What’s the top speed on that bad boy I’ve got the 600 ZR 2024 and I can only get 90mph from it kinda disappointed lol😂

King Cat was Awesome for its time. 4 cylinders and extremely fast for the time however it didn’t last long. But then they came out with a 3 cylinder. And that sucker was awesome. It lasted much longer.

Polaris was a real dumpster in the 2000's. I'd love to hear what the executives and product managers were thinking in 2001 when the Rev, Firecat, and RX-1 seemed to catch them totally flat-footed. Everything felt desperate after that - from those Pro X2 models with the funky seat which were supposed to be "rider-forward", to the Fusion disaster, to IQ chassis pivot which was just the mountain chassis hood on a Fusion and a revert to their old twin engines. The Rush was ok, but I can't believe such a radical concept was greenlit with all the trouble they were having as a brand. It really wasn't until the Axys that Polaris hit their stride again, but even that seemed lucky because it was a doubling down on the concept of the 2013 Indy SP, which was a budget rush without the uncoupled suspension that happened to work amazingly well. I guess the Assault was doing it too. But honestly the Matryx felt like the first time in 15+ years that Polaris was actually innovating and on par with the Rev's. That's a long time.

These videos are just ads

My assault boost is a fun sled but 2 of our 3 850 turbo Polaris' have now blown up inside of 1100 miles... assault included. Stop rides and the rear suspension flat sucks. But it is fun... when it runs.

Polaris the recall king year after year

Snowmobiling was the primary joy in my life until I worked as an ER doctor in Michigan and saw horrific injuries with paramedics describing cases that never made it to the ER because the victim was obviously dead, such as the brain basically liquefied inside the helmet. After several close calls on trails (Michigan is infamous for blind corners), I knew it was just a matter of time until someone traveling 70 miles per hour or more struck me - traveling slowly and responsibly. The last one missed me by inches, if that. That was enough; no more. The snowmobile industry has catered to speed demons and turned a blind eye to technology that could safeguard riders so the speed freaks could risk suicide without taking others with them, including children in some cases. The bottom line is that the snowmobiling industry is essentially slitting its own throat. Sales have plummeted even though machines are vastly superior to what they once were. After living in northern Michigan for 30 years, it’s obvious that snowmobiling is markedly less popular than it once was, with miles traveled a small fraction of what they once were, and dealerships frequently vanishing. Speed isn’t the only contributor to this downfall, but it is a critical component that no prudent manufacturer or magazine would discount. The snowmobile industry is essentially whistling past the graveyard, but I don’t have to sing along.

I think this will be the trail sled I pick up for the 2024 winter start this year and trade in my old 2011 mxz. It is easily the best looking new sled I think. I like the minimalist of the new chassis and light weight. And the 600 is a great engine I’m confident the 858 will be a beast and reliable. I like the easy access to the battery and the easy remove panels. Man it just looks awesome. Thanks for the great review 🇨🇦🤝

Can these guys sell snowmobiles or can these guys sell snowmobiles 😂

The Assault is an amazing sled for sure, but dependability is always an issue with the 850. The older 600 was very dependable, im not sure how the new 650 is doing because I have no personal experience with them.

Catalyst. Fun Factor pegged. Cat durability. Value. 600 runs with 800's all day. Looks the best. Makes you giggle out loud in the twisties. No worries about having to tow back a Polaris because after 35 years of riding a CAT you learn not to ride with the Polaris faithful.... and they never learn to pack a rope???

Can anyone who’s ridden this machine and a 137 Matrix tell me how well it performs on a rough trail compared to the 137? Trying to decide which machine to buy next year.

What is the advantage of the "quiet " can? Just weight loss? There was no mention of HP gain.

I was really expecting skidoo to win this year but polaris took the crown congrats. I still ride my assault 2018 amazing sled.

Well that was a great video right up to almost the eight minute mark when that awful velocity envelope music started period it sounds like a headache feels. By the way, I had a 78 skidoo. Absolutely reliable. Slow. But that doesn't matter. Great video!

The skidoo skies are just really bad polaris skis will work very great in any sled

How does this color scheme, gloss black, shadow grey, look in person? I got a 25 9r on order in this color scheme. I’ll be adding some lime backwoods bumpers too it as well.

Whats the point of reviewing something if it gets changed the next year? Rating a '24 doo comp for anyone looking to buy a new 25 is a waste, considering its a new sled with a different front end. Lol these rankings are only for people that have already bought the sled yo compare with one another, and lets jist put it out there, most are already happy with what they bought. Id rather see a review of next years models before i spring order, too bad manufacturers wont let reviewers try and release their opinions prior to ordering.

Just like they're father they never want to dis a sled, to afraid of loosing free rides the following year, we listened to they're father on the 96 zrt 600 back in the day, biggest junk I ever owned.

I built one on the website. $24,006.oo.. 😂😂😂😂😂

Guys let’s me ask . This 2025. What to order the 9r or the boost. If you had to pick what sled are you guys jumping on.??

Your wrong on displacement for heaver crank polairs what lighter crank on the 9 R AND by ski doo 850 and a polairs 850 for 18 g otd they want 23 g out otd really

my nan has the same one exactly but not that windsheild
