POLARIS BOOST ASSAULT REVIEW | IS IT GOOD?!?!

[@davidcottrell1567]

I’m a bigger guy 6’2” 225lbs and I rode 2 Assaults from 2013 - 2020. (2013 Pro chassis and a 2017 Axys). I switched to a 137 VR1 in 2021 because I ride 85-90% trails and I thought I would get a big handling improvement. The VR1 is better in real tight twisty trails and the ride is better in chatter bumps, but overall I miss my Assault. The Assault is more playful on the trail and the handling is very close to a 137 VR1, plus I had to upgrade all the spring on the VR1 to to the same spec as the Assault. I would suggest setting your shock damping at the perfect ride setting in the owner manual and then making 2 click adjustments on the trail to tune the ride and handling to your liking. Enjoy the Wheelies!!!!!!

How did it feel getting on to an axys coming off the pro chassis. Looking to upgrade to an axys currently on a 14 assault

[@gregsouther7293]

I found that the Matryx handles way better if you soften up the front a little. I had a demo last year and when I first got on it didn't handle anwhere near as good as my 22 XRS. I took a few clicks out of the front and it made all the difference in the world. Absolutely handled on rails after that.

Sweet sled dude. Glad you love it

[@ijimmythekid6918]

My lord those snow conditions are atrocious. To each their own, but I can't ride my $25,000 snowmobile in such abhorrent conditions. Still enjoyed the video and your feedback.

[@RideFishHunt]

Looks like a fun sled!

[@youareright5431]

I'm a bigger guy like you and you couldn't be more right about the 137👍👍

[@UpstateBlake]

Yes to each their own but personally think I’m fastest on a 137”. Maybe we’ll have to do a test later on.

[@lobbyrobby]

90% of my riding is ditch banging and try to find deep stuff (hard these days tho) I love my 21 Assault for this kind of riding. Ripping on that thing and hanging skis is so much fun! I don't care if my sled turns lol. I only have 5 rides on this unit so I'll still have to play around with the suspension settings to fine tune it for my riding.

[@pedrohizzle2835]

so if I am 6'3 I shouldnt get one? I like to stand. Should I get this or a Freeride 146????????????????????

[@tower992]

10 days of riding damn you are lucky

[@Sdm07120]

You should hop on that Gen 5 and give us a review compared to the Polaris. I know one is a crossover and one is a trail sled but would be interested in the pros and cons of each! I’m considering ordering a renny, assault or possibly backcountry or lynx depending on if they get upgraded for my24

[@RJ-wy6cx]

If you ride a Polaris you already ride the best it's no reason to change

[@vibe8084]

Just a question how did u mount the ice scratcher on

[@bitrage.]

If I lived in a snow state I would have a skidoo turbo or a boost...

[@alexdean9379]

damn man speed limits everywhere lol I image it is hard to stay out of the throttle with that thing.

[@hockeyplayer0241]

Guys got a 146 on straight rocks I got 2000 miles this year living in New York and Havnt seen a rock once

[@UpstateBlake]

No rocks just a few bare spots. Too late to turn back now! Lol

[@tobyaffronti3597]

how do you like your ckx mission

[@UpstateBlake]

Love it. Genuinely best helmet I’ve ever owned.

[@jamesmullen75]

@@UpstateBlake You should use the cord strain relief.. the little sticky tab that comes in the packaging.. takes the strain of the cord off the power port on the shield.. Agreed though.. absolutely the best snow helmet ever!

[@brianittel9533]

They have no wind protection

[@dennismurray1923]

What kind of gas mileage does it get?

[@UpstateBlake]

Can’t remember mileage count but we all got gas same place&time before ride. When we decided to fill up my buddies were all at 50% fuel and I was at 40%. Not crazy but does use noticeably more fuel than a NA 850.

[@jaygz4690]

I was getting about 12 mpg during break in on my vr1 137 boost, and I wasn't going easy on the throttle

[@MyBluegoose]

Do you miss the SRX?

[@UpstateBlake]

I miss every sled I ever owned lol. But on the SRX I don’t regret selling to get this. Wanted to go back to a 2 stroke for at least this year trail riding. I’d love to have a 4- stroke again as well eventually.

[@codyarnold5672]

All those nice open bush spots to stop and play, and you guys just go by them………….

[@UpstateBlake]

Most are private property. In this case it was state land but that’s part of what gets trails shut down or I would.

[@678Toner]

1275 on mine and it blew up

[@kurtwilliams9114]

No kidding?

[@brianittel9533]

The snowmobiles nowadays have no in protection and they look like s***

[@youareright5431]

Let me guess you have a 93 Indy or Zr 6000😂😂😂 I've been riding for 45 yrs and that statement is ridiculous....

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

All joking aside I can’t buy Polaris sleds still… the recall bullshit is insane and is still a huge problem… they need to stop trying to make them so fast and concentrate on quality not quantity.
