I own a 21 Polaris 650 launch edition, haven’t had any issues except for the recalls. That being said, you know what time it was… Haven’t had any other issue to the day, definitely a fun sled and I’m thankful I still own it. With my new XCR my son and I plane to do some pretty cool things together, that’s where life gets epic!

[@D3thM3tal]

Still waiting on my 850 snow check in that green color. I'm dubbing it the Thin Mint. Obviously got the mid height windshield and the 7S. Bring on the snow! What they didn't mention is that the 24XCR now comes with the HD rear springs out of the box now - that's new for 24'.

[@weslawrence5055]

Guess I’m crazy my 23’ xcr 850 is pull standard gauge lol ;) good review. And yes best damn brakes out there. Ziiiinnnnggg. That sound too thx guys !

[@jonl2938]

One thing that doesn’t get mentioned much about the 650 is that you can run 87 octane with no issues. Not sure if it drops the performance a bit, but having the option to run 87 when you pull up to the pumps in the middle of nowhere in Northern Ontario and the premium is gone is great. Especially when the sled performs this well. Loved that I could run 87 in my 1200 Doo and really wish that engine could come back.

[@saxel1989]

do you run your sled in ETH mode or 91NON

[@Kevin-ix4qz]

​@@saxel1989depends on what fuel you are using. My Arctic cat from 2002 could switch from either

[@Kevin-ix4qz]

I ordered the xcr with that color scheme, and i was pretty nervous about my decision until i saw it in person. It looks much better than on a picture. 850 with 136. Can't wait to go riding!

[@snowtrax]

Let it snow!! ❄

[@FalvyPollard]

I just got exact sled, except black rail and spindles. I like it! 650, 128 , 1.25” ice ripper.

[@Kevin-ix4qz]

@@FalvyPollard I'm sure we won't be disappointed

[@jasonbrushett2005]

I'm a Doo rider but also love Polaris sleds.That 650 is amazing and I love Polaris color schemes

[@RJ-wy6cx]

Awesome content one of the best sleds on the snow for a decent price

[@RJ-wy6cx]

Yes idiots behind the wheel

[@longboardguy]

Nice look at this sled I’m really liking what Polaris is bringing to the market. I am looking at a clearance priced 23’ Polaris SKS 650 in the white green colour. It’s a great price and I love what they have done with the 650 engine so I’m thinking to take the chance on it. I’m currently riding a 2011 Skidoo mxz tnt carb but it’s time for an upgrade. I’m no stranger to Polaris my summer machine is a 2016 Sportsman 850sp. Thanks guys great videos s always. 🇨🇦🍻. We finally got some snow over here in Alberta it’s time to ride!

[@LiamG903]

Agreed on the windshield, no point in looking cool when you hate life cause your frozen

[@frankdepalma4409]

For us that are getting back into the sport after many years of not riding, would like to see under the hood and get an inside look at the mechanical side of the machine. Thanks everyone everyone.

[@NITROUSnBIASPLYS]

I beat my '19 XC 800 129. It's been solid

[@happyindeed6392]

Good job guys. Thanks for the content.

[@snowtrax]

Thank you!!

[@devonlethbridge]

I loved the Walker Evans on my MY23 Khaos 155 last season. I think it's just many people who are trying to get people to use 'their brand' of shocks. Fox, Öhlins, and such.

[@goshdarnitman]

I like bottoming out so I get sport versions of everything 😢

[@troyt5309]

Although the three things you look for in a sled are important, I think #1 has to be reliability followed by value. Guess I got 5 things I look for lol. I have both Ski Doo and Polaris, and wouldn't mind a new Cat now as well.

[@steve9589]

Listen carefully ! strats up the engine .bogs twice before easing into it to get the engine revving up ?

[@stephdallaire6147]

🤣🤣 so true

[@weslawrence5055]

Holy crap it’s cold wow

[@danielschabilion9435]

That’s odd tho. Hopefully just a battery that’s a bit low. My 600 SP will do that if the crank speed is slow.

[@austinf4998]

Regarding the WE Shocks, I picked up a brand new 0 miles 2021 XCR 850 last year and realized it had a blown leaking front shock straight off the showroom.

[@goshdarnitman]

2022-2023 RECALLS on right now

[@Outdoors-and-Sports]

Do they like doing recalls?

[@joeleaton607]

😂 lots of love from people posting. My biggest complaint is the colors are being chosen by someone blind. I think it was 2022 that had the red and black. That looked great. Whoever is making the design choices for paint should be sacked. I like the smooth power of the 650 and the handling is great. Polaris has the best display in the 7s. The one area I was disappointed was looking for a sled for my wife. The 550 indy for the money didn't come close to what Ski Doo offers in the MXz sport 600EFI. I ride them all not brand loyal. Sad to see Yamaha getting out of the snowmobile biz.

[@bedlambikes]

The good news with Polaris, is EVERY model has a multitude of color choices available to the consumer.

[@joelaichner3025]

We had a push mover in the 70’s , crank handle spring loaded technology , wind it up , push the release , wind it again ! Not my snowmobile !

[@joeinmi8671]

Props on the 2.52 drivers. The larger pitches are a step backwards imho.

[@joelaichner3025]

$1200 dollars 7S upgrade , I’ll have a Manhattan please ! Make that a Double

[@matthewcloutier175]

the color is called Radiant Green :)

[@mikeskidmore6754]

A windshield is a must have.. Was Polaris afraid the Media testers were going to roll the sleds?

[@208SledHead]

Who in their right-damn-mind would manufacture a snowmobile without a pull chord??

[@EmilForsberg_GRYBO]

Someone who makes a 4 stroke... or an electric snowmobile

[@billyzgoneape]

When's the last time you saw any recreational vehicle with one ??? Not too many !

[@edwinhermanson8842]

You say it's unchanged. Well I'd like to know what has changed since 2021 ! Why.... because my 2024 runs very very different than my 2021 did. 21 had a wonderful linear power delivery. 24 has a more abrupt snappier delivery ??? We ride tight trails and sometimes have to ride at 15 to 20 mph. Trying to maintain 20 mph on thos sled is near impossible because at that speed its an on off switch. The 21 did not do this. ?

[@marklubecke4854]

Thanks for short video. It's a Polaris, it's ok.

[@rushrider800]

What is the 136 like compared to the 128?

[@snowtrax]

Longer...

[@rushrider800]

@snowtrax seriously? I was expecting a decent answer from you guys? Yes obviously it is longer!!

[@s1edneck700]

Guess there's gonna be a lot of crazy people on the snow this season! It seems like this sled has become confused...mostly because the lack of salesmanship from dealers that are just interested in taking orders vs. landing somebody on a product because they "like the color". To each their own, but in my opinion I don't think its doing the consumer any favors in the long run. Thank you for the review.

[@joelaichner3025]

9 or 10 tooth drive sprockets ?

[@joelaichner3025]

What’s the top end speed ?

[@user-xf9rp8mk5q]

Is this all you guys do nowadays is promote the new sleds ??

[@derriklee287]

They're just reviewing it, are you special needs? Smh wow

[@SnowmobileHomeMovies]

Jackshaft brake means no brake when your chain or final-drive belt fails. I believe you that it feels better but yikes.

[@bigchaloopa]

Yikes, that's right

[@chadthedrywaller6859]

If you let your chain get to the point of breaking, thats your fault.

[@shperax]

Driveshaft is the ideal brake location. I know it doesn't feel as good. But I think it's crazy not to have it on the driveshaft for safety reasons. I've seen and heard of a lot of chains breaking over the years. That's where I always want it. All the manufactures have moved around brake locations. Right now, I think it's only Ski-doo and AC that has current sled models with a driveshaft brake.

[@FalvyPollard]

When the chain breaks, everything jams up and the sled stops, non-issue

[@lucascady4992]

IMO, those things don't break at full throttle, it's usually out of the hole.. With the declaration off throttle on most sled's you can stop with no brakes.. Plus if the chain breaks, it usually locks up and send you or the bar's! I'm sure the people who engineered it have thought about that situation! Cheers brother's 😮🍻

[@joelaichner3025]

Oh ! A 650 , 50 better than a 600 ! That’s Genius !

U haven't had problems with Walker Evans shocks is cause u ride on flat Highways! Come ride Millinocket Maine on a Busy week, the shocks will be junk by days end! Worst shocks ive ever got on a Snowcheck sled! Sad the Floor model Polaris sleds have lesser BETTER FOX shocks 🤭

[@snomofilms]

Far out

[@rideswift]

Always been a Ski Doo guy (for good reason) , but if I had to change brands, I'd likely try out a Catalyst, if Polaris was the only option, that is the sled I would get. as far as the handling, its a personal thing, Ski Doo handle better too me, period, (I'm a very aggressive rider), but as i said, its a personal preference. lastly, Polaris is too fragile, they fall apart. Too many recalls and issues for me to want one. Its funny to watch you gush over the Polaris though LOL

[@snowtrax]

ok

[@gordonmckay914]

Sounds like you're gushing over Ski Doo. Ridden Ski Doo have friends who have new ones as well. Ski Doo does not handle as well as a Poaris. We all have brand preference, and I have ridden with so-called "hard" riders. I wait and have coffee while they catch up. Don't bash when you don't know what you're talking about.

[@derriklee287]

Its funny to see you dooche riders get your panties in a bunch when its not your brand getting praise. Smh

[@joshpitts7256]

​@@gordonmckay914👍

[@bigchaloopa]

Polaris was rush to market. Not tested. It takes a lot $ to go snowmobiling or some long distance. Then your POS breaks and your done. Plus you screwed your buddies weekend too. Just run 🏃‍♂️ from these types of companies.

[@MrKmd27]

This sled is ugly! It may be a good sled, but it just doesn't look good.

[@bigchaloopa]

Can I get the NON-Recall version 🤔? I just can't get by the maytrx look. Bug looking...Praying Mantis like.

[@ernieferguson9513]

New color for 2025 is recall red.

[@weslawrence5055]

More like the alien movies imo, the ski doos look like frogs or that old show dinosaurs ( to me ) lol

[@joshpitts7256]

The Doo's like like a damn Ninja Turtle

[@bigchaloopa]

Thats why AC is probably the best looking sled.
