Polaris SNOWCHECK update | NEVER again...

[@3man035]

Couldnt agree more!!!! Its a joke. I ordered 3 boosts from 3 diff dealers. 137. Michigan. None of them are here. All had 11-15/12-15 then 12-19/12-31. Now 1-5/1-19. All neon/orange. None here. Do i went paid 2800 more at a dealer that had one. Couldnt wait anymore. Im Not doing it anymore either!!! Perfect video. Couldn’t agree anymore with every comment you made !!

[@rideswift]

I've ordered 5 sleds in 6 years, all Mxz and Renegade Xrs. All sleds have been delivered before Christmas. Also no recalls, so I actually get to enjoy them.

[@Revrider550]

I'd definitely take that over what I experienced with my Lynx and Boost!

[@bigchaloopa]

Yep. Same here.

[@pliskie6]

It's certainly a tough situation and I was in the same situation waiting on my black VR1. Knowing the challenges that the manufacturers faced last year and with a build date the same as yours, I decided to take matters into my own hands and called a bunch of dealers looking for a sled that someone backed out on. There are a ton out there, even more so with Doo as there are G5's everywhere. There is no way in hell I would be sitting waiting for my boost to come in. Go find one. Your dealer will understand, it's not his fault, it's not your fault. I did the same to my long term dealer and it's business as usual. Best decision I made as I have 1200mi on my '23 and you can't put a price tag on riding a new sled that you really wanted. Go get a boost and stop waiting!

[@revvedupoutdoors7413]

I'm glad you made this video! All manufacturers need to see this and get things straightened out before they lose their loyal consumers that buy every season. Their should be no reason that spring orders shouldn't be at the dealer and ready to be picked up before December 1st IMHO.

[@joelaichner3025]

In the old days , snow checked machines needed to be picked up in the end of September, or beginning of October

[@Revrider550]

Miss those days!!

[@themillennialsledder3286]

My switchback assault boost (all black) is supposed to arrive in a week. Shipped Dec 30. I feel your frustrations, coming from someone who rides at least 3000 miles annually. No more snow checks from me till things get back on track.

[@angelovasilikos7980]

Dam thats very frustrating. Not like we can ride in NY right now anyways with this weather but still this sucks. Hope it arrives soon.

[@LastChanceLegacy]

I feel very lucky after watching this. I got my snowcheck 2023 XCR 850 in November.

[@jasoncampeau2948]

Snow travel is still waiting for his as well Hope you guys get your sleds asap I remember when I was filling up the truck from the last sled trip last year, talking with guy next to me said he just picked up his new Polaris snow check.. imagine not getting your sled until middle of march.. I felt bad for him

[@traviss999]

I ordered a switchback assault boost with lime tunnel, and I’m in the same boat losing my damn mind. I only went with the snow check because Polaris said they were limiting numbers of orders to mitigate these delays. Well here I am without ANY sled. I was told my sled would ship 1/3-1/13, I have been calling the dealer and checking portal with no updates. Today, I got my update, it is now scheduled to ship 1/21-1/31, so it will be here at the end of our season here in New England. I am BS! Bad time for me to switch from riding ski doo all my life. They better offer some compensation.

[@rayland8553]

Totally agree, my Lynx came in last year mid March I backed out and the dealer was cool. Said I was done but now I plan on going for a Catalyst. Wish me good luck! 😂

[@patgenier1965]

I live in Alberta. I had ordered from a dealer in Saskatchewan a SnoChk 23 Adventure x2 with s4 engine. Black with Black tunnel and orange ski tips and rails. Was gona match my 19 Kawasaki vulcan 900 custom. I'm 57 and grew up in Northern Ontario and I want to tour. I had not owned since mid 90s. After getting my 3rd delay of shipping notice , last scheduled for end of January, i pull out and asked for my deposit back. Dealer was super understanding and I got the $ back. He tod me the order was completely canceled so he's not going to be stuck with it which I'm glad for him. A few days after I canceled, my brother's in our home town of Cochrane Ontario convinced me to take a look at Bourques Auto sales, local Polaris dealer. I bought a 23 Adventure 650 which I'm super excited for. I'll be picking it up in March when I drive out for a 15 day visit to the area. District 15 of OFSC. I can't help but think this is such a "first world Problem " Cheers

[@paulturinsky1942]

My black 9R with A155 track arrived up here in Kenai Alaska January 6. It's missing a bunch of the details but I'm glad I have it.

[@illinoisfarmer7340]

My last snowcheck was in 2019, it came in early January and my dealer was great and gave me a demo sled to use for a trip I had planned, now it doesn’t seem like polaris cares and my dealer tries to help but they can’t do that to every sled that is late, it’s way to common and people are tired of the same excuses, polaris needs to do better

[@UpstateBlake]

Sending every BOOST WHEELIEEE PRAYER I CAN BUDDY!🔥❄️🔥❄️🔥

[@justinliller8445]

Mine was delivered last Friday. Heading to the dealer tomorrow morning to pick it up! Assault Boost, blue, blue tunnel, blue rail.

[@richoutdoors8962]

Couldn’t agree more bud. The Snow Check process has had its day. The economy is only going to get worse. Wait until next season and you will be seeing a ton of product on the dealer showroom floor.

[@lifethruacamera4313]

Feel your pain. I was lucky to receive my 23 Assault Switchback boost 146 at the end of December 22. Just in time for a trip we had planned. Hopefully it comes.

[@MBTUE]

I've never been a fan of the Snowcheck marketing scheme but I'm older and I just like walking into the dealer to see and feel what I'm buying. Maybe sit on it ?! Hope you get it soon. You made a lot good and fair points. Do you think Polaris is listening ?

[@djg1028]

When we ordered our 2018 800 XCR’S in the spring of 2017 we got them November 15th and I had my first ride on Christmas day 2017. That’s the way it should always be. A local Polaris dealer near me in upstate New York has a 2023 assault boost in red for sale.

[@andrewnemecek4898]

You honestly deserve it after watching last year I’m honestly surprised they had a single snowcheck order Polaris owners are a different kind of special

[@sled5196]

I definitely feel what Revrider is saying. Manufacturers are playing both sides. Get your Spring Order in within 24 hours of release or your going to be left out of all the newest features and models. Fast Forward to December... Oh jeez, supply chain this, lack of parts that, allocation!!. Maybe February delivery. As you watch trails open and close with the crazy weather in regions some of us live in. All while just stopping short of making YOU feel bad that your upset that you want to have your spring order sled delivered before they release the next year's models and the cycle repeats itself.

[@Paisteboy]

I agree. Snow check has gotten ridiculous. Pre covid a spring ordered ski-doo would arrive in October or November at the latest. I guess you can be an optimist and be glad you have your lynx and there is no snow to ride on, even though the last point is very disappointing all many levels. keep up on the great content buddy!

[@fnatomagan]

my 23 Arctic Cat Riot X 8000 arrived in late October. My friend saw two 23 Assault Boosts sitting on the Showroom floor and went trade his RMK Khaos Boost that same week(early Dec). This is all in Saskatchewan Canada.

[@valenzaplumbing]

I agree 100%. It seems like Polaris is doing a really poor job, but Skidoo isn’t much better. My father had a 2023 Doo delayed twice. We finally got it, but it’s mid January. I usually spring order a new one every three years, and this spring is my year, but I’m strongly considering not doing it. I want to be guaranteed my sled will be in my hands before December 1st. I think that should be a no brainer and easy to do. I agree with you that I’d almost rather just keep my existing sled and just be pumped up to ride what I have, than to order a brand new one and be excited to receive it, only to be majorly disappointed when it doesn’t arrive until the season is half over with. These manufacturers need to figure it out, quick.

[@Revrider550]

Man thats a bummer for sure. What did he order? Exactly. Its funny the last couple years I found myself wondering why my first couple videos of the season seemed to really lack enthusiasm on my end and eventually I realized it because I'm thinking about how much I wish I was riding the sled I had ordered. Spring ordering has definitely lost its way and is now more about guaranteed sales for thr MFG rather than offering a premium product to loyal customers

[@edileo2112]

It’s a sled for my wife, a renegade enduro, 900 ace na. We’re going to pick it up on Saturday.

[@kevinschield8166]

I think that all of us that are in the same dilemma as you are, feel your frustration. Here in the upper midwest, we're having the best snow year that we've had in several years. But, I can't ride my new sled yet because it is still scheduled to be built, with the same ship dates as yours. My Indy XC 850 137 SnowCheck is on day 318 as of today. Black with black tunnel, blue skid, spindles and grills. My dealer has been great about keeping me informed regarding the build/ship dates, but their info is basically the same as what's on my Polaris account page. The last SnowCheck I did was in 2006 for a 2007 IQ. It was delivered in October of that year. My feeling is that all the manufactures that are doing early/pre season sales, should put the highest priority on those machines that they have hard orders for. No matter what the options and paint scheme is. Those machines should be the FIRST out the door, and THEN fill in with the dealer inventory models. It's a poor business model to keep loyal customers waiting this long.

[@bryankalbfleisch8811]

I was really lucky I received 2, 2022 Polaris snow checks last year before Christmas and 1 2023 snow check this year also before Christmas. My big issue is all the recalls Polaris has, 2 recalls on the 2022's and 1 on the 2023's. On my first ride on my 2023 I had the engine light come on and it had to go back to the dealership. I think all the Polaris quality control department should be fired!

[@WildhurstLodge]

I’m still waiting on my switchback assault snowcheck. It says shipped Jan 9, hopefully the dealer gets it and set up asap. I’m riding my Indy trail since my summit 800 spun a crank bearing…

[@backcountrysteve7704]

DUDE!!!! I totally agree!!!! I agree 100% they need to understand that with the short window a lot of us in the Midwest have they need to do their part on supporting us! We now pay 19k plus…. They should have snow check sleds before they ship any others! 2023 slate blue Assault 850 with black tunnel & 2023 gray vr1 850 with black tunnel came in on November 23rd. Our buddy is still waiting for his 850 assault boost all red with red tunnel. Crazy how they can’t deliver! I was lucky but feel for all who love the sport but can’t ride(not by their choice!).

[@stevencaughlin2900]

I ordered 2 sleds this year. Renegade XRS 900r with smart shocks and 7.8 display. It arrived to my dealer in October, missing 2 components. The sled was ready for pickup before Thanksgiving. Due to lack of snow and time, it has 47 miles. The second sled is a Polaris Assault non-turbo 850 red and white with a red tunnel. I recieved the same message as you. Should ship January 3rd through 13th. Here it is, the 14th and nothing, not even a new email. Now I don't even want it.

[@SometimeIsNow]

I know your pain Bobby. Last winter waiting till the middle of March for my new sled to come in was painful. Delay after delay started in October 2022, then it was 3 more weeks, then 3 more weeks. The numerous delays were enough to take the excitement out of the purchase. I swore I would never do it again until all the supply issues and craziness ends. Then knowing you have thousands of dollars worth of accessories just sitting on a shelve in the garage was brutal. Every time I’d walk-in the garage, there they were mocking me.. 😂 The only upside to your late arrival is there’s no rideable snow to make it worse. Fingers crossed it arrives soon buddy. Take Care

[@snostm]

Exactly what I went through last year with my 22 XCR ended up taking delivery on February 7th and then of course winter ended beginning of March 😢 my sled and trailer sat at my dealers almost 3 weeks waiting for the recall. I did get that done, and glad I did but then the snow was gone again. 😂

[@Revrider550]

Man thats a bummer. It shouldn't be like this... I hope it starts to improve soon. I love the product polaris builds but some aspects of getting/having one in your possession leaves something to be desired..

[@bigmurph1447]

Ingles has a boost on there website. Big issue with the delay is parts coming from over seas like China. If we made everything in the states there would be no waite. Same thing with ford trucks it's 6month to a 1year to get a truck because they got to waite for parts from over seas

[@klous671]

Pretty rough now with the whole allocation thing.. I had a hard time just getting my RMK snowcheck ordered in the midwest thru my dealer. It came in just the week before Thanksgiving and was stuck there over the brake recall until last Friday (Jan 6th). I was able to pick it up. 2023 850 RMK Pro 155 Black Tunnel, Red Rails, Tips and Spindles, Blue and White side panels and regular display. I can say it has been worth the wait so far.. But, that was 9 1/2 months.. a baby comes quicker!

[@colewilliams767]

I feel your pain for sure. It is bs. Hopefully you see yours soon

[@joshuagreer9517]

I ordered mine late in march just picked mine up from Ronnie’s in Pittsfield vr1 boost 137 all black said it was shipped the 12th of December it was dropped there the 12 th of January I was loosing hope but they called I’m from the Saginaw Michigan area loaded the kids and headed to Massachusetts and picked it up

[@darrenprokulevich4864]

Snow checked an 850 XCR last year and got it in December. This year i snow checked a Red on Red 850 129” Boost and im still waiting

[@Peccs91]

They like the spring order business model for a few reasons. Main reason is efficiency. They're able to lean out their manufacturing process by producing the more costly (to produce) sleds which already have a buyer for them. In years prior to 2020, it was common for dealers to have a tremendous surplus of leftover unsold sleds. Dealers don't want to be paying interest on unsold units and the manufacturer doesn't want to have to hand out rebates. Having 2/3 of sleds sold 8-10 months before the riding season is exactly what they want. I feel bad for ya my man, its a shit sandwich all around.

[@zach849]

Just got told my ship date wasn’t estimated till the end of February so consider yourself lucky. My dealer has gotten every single 9r and turbo but apparently mine is 2 months later than everyone else’s and it’s an NA 850. I’m the only one still waiting on my sled from my salesman. Won’t have it till probably the 2nd week of March. Lost 90% of the season. About to buy a holdover khaos from another dealer in a color I didn’t want

[@jasoncarter942]

Have a buddy that ordered a 22Tcat March of 2021 never arrived till March of 2022 to thr exact day he ordered it in 2021. He spent all last winter riding his wife's 600etec TNT. He still has the Tcat and now also has a 2023 XRS 900 Turbo R luckily that arrived in November for him. He has put in over 500 miles on the Tug so far and is currently driving to the UP of Michigan to ride up there for 3 days. He lives in Jersey 2000 mile round trip for him haha.

[@TheRedsuper1]

Still waiting on my 23 Lynx Shredder. Expected delivery date is mid. March. But we should still have snow here in Alaska.

[@davidyoung9652]

I tried to snow check a XCR but they were sold out with in hours. Got lucky got one in early December some one backed out on. Hope your sled comes in soon

[@bigchaloopa]

I'm loving that SKI-DOO feeling carving POW with my snow check and your wearing a Boost shirt. No need to say anything more.

[@Revrider550]

Only Boost thing I own! Shouldve learned my lesson after 2019 but I guess I'm a glutton for pain lol

[@gregchapdelaine4889]

Oh man, that’s so frustrating. I hung on to my sled from last year preparing for my Gen 5 Summit spring order to be late it luckily it was delivered in early November (and it’s a great machine). I agree limiting the model offerings (and maybe the list of options) could help. Cadillac used to have a program where you could special order their most popular configurations of a few models and guarantee you would have it within 30 days from order receipt. A system like that for a limited number of special models might be worth sled mfrs to consider, too.

[@bradhitchcock3980]

I think when you order a new sled it should come with a set date and if it doesn't show up buy then the price should be reduced each week till it is delivered.

[@brandon4251bw]

I picked up my 2023 all black assault on Dec 15th from the dealer (Northern Ontario)

[@Averagej82]

Completely understand you and to top it all off the snow here in upstate ny has gotten very limited I’ve gotten to the point of just walking away from the sport all together unfortunately 😢

[@DirtX]

We Snow-Checked an Patriot Boost Assault and it came very early, but unfortunately we barely have enough snow...

[@NORMANGUPPY]

Two comments: I absolutely feel the same as you. Two years now (21 & 22) I snowchecked Polaris's. In 21 an Assault 650 and then for 22 an 850 VR1. Both came in late (one mid and the other late January). I decided not to Snowcheck a 23 because of this. My second comment is I have three Polaris's. MY ATV was just recalled for defects and my two Snowmobiles are both "Do not Ride" and they can't tell me when they can do the upgrades. (No parts and also "as time permits at the dealer"). To be honest, I'm fed up with Polaris. No more Snow Checks for me. If it isn't on the floor I'll pass from now on. I'm looking at other makes.

[@powersportmaniac7185]

Hey good video! I am sure it’s frustrating as you see the snowcheck process being inconsistent over the years. I was the first person to snowcheck a Black G5 Renegade XRS 850 (standard gauge and shocks, 1.5 ice ripper) at Ingles. I still have no delivery date in sight. I am holding onto my 17 XCR until the G5 comes in. My XCR has the stop ride order recall and local dealers have a list a mile long before they can get my sled in. I want the G5 to come in soon so I can install my studs and accessories. Hopefully both of our new sleds arrive and we get snow!

[@doobyboy21]

Damn... Waiting all that time to have a sled is beyond ridiculous... Here I am still happy with my 2013 Pro RMK ! At least i'm riding and not waiting on a sled that probably will have issues right out of the production line and be waiting again on updates... To each his own I guess...

[@davidkolisnek6601]

I never got my assault until April 12/22blew a whole winter but wife said quit winning it’s still new 😂but it is an amazing sled

[@bigblockstang9368]

only new sled I snow checked was in 1996, was a 97 XLT Polaris X tra 12 suspension . Wow where has the time went. I believe that was the start of snow checking. It made since because it was tuff on dealers to just have a lot of inventory sitting on floor and then have a poor snow year. And they were stuck paying interest on them at a certain point. Not good for the home team. Many got out of it.

[@welderteach]

I agree the snow check thing is kinda crazy but I also see why they do it and I think they want all sleds or atleast as many as possible to be preordered. It just sucks that it works out the way it does. It’s a short season and they should have them all to the dealerships by December in my opinion. They’ve know since spring how many they need to produce and they should be prioritized.

[@barrthom603]

My blue assault boost blue tunnel came in on the 9th. Picking up on the 16th. If you want mine you can have it. If that helps.

[@charlierines4044]

I have a 21 sba that I can't ride because of the recall the dealership cant get it in untill March. I snowchecked a 23 sba boost with lime tunnel and orange rails the polaris site says it shipped 12/26/22 and to allow 2 to 3 weeks for shipping and setup but still haven't heard anything from the dealership

[@bartunertl302]

Until we the consumers quit buying these things, the manufacturers don't give 2 hoots about us. We're lining up at the dealers (at least the Polaris and Ski-Doo dealers) salivating over the new stuff and all the manufacturers can see are dollar signs. It really sucks that you didn't get your sled, hopefully you can make the best out of it. Thanks for posting your video.

[@yteka99]

Especially if you're getting in on an early year of a new generation, getting a year newer of the same sled doesn't seem worth the money. I think it'd be fun to just do some sweet mods instead.

[@sleddheadxp800r]

Doo you used to be able to pick early or late delivery. I picked late delivery on my last 6 doos and 5 out of 6 of them have come in around thanksgiving. My 21 came in just after December 15th.

[@thomastoth435]

Just last week, I had my rear air shock put on my 2022 snow check ski-doo renegade enduro. I didn't recieve it until Feb 15th of 2022 with the missing rear shock. It's tough to spend that much money on something and having to wait that long. It's disappointing for sure.

[@MrGrunt141]

Currently waiting for my 23 riot x, was told it’s built, and waiting on shipping just before Christmas. I’m in Ontario canada.

[@BoZoneFreeriders]

Dang, that's unfortunate. I snow-checked a Skidoo gen 5 165 freeride and it hit the dealer's parking lot in early November.

[@flyingpumpkin1858]

My dealer just had a guy back out if a assault boost all black. It's sitting on the floor. Located in northeast PA.

[@angelovasilikos7980]

Any updates on the new sled? Has it arrived yet?

[@mattwhitt4147]

Completely agree with the excitement thing, I have a perfectly fine sled but I was so looking forward to my new boost and have a ton of accessories to put on it. My all black boost vr1 has shipping days of 1/10-1/25

[@paulhendricks333]

I have the same color Boost. Less than 600 miles and it's back in the shop. Issues with detonation. Apparently needs new electronic rod valves?? Just be aware paying 24k for a sled and having it go down on a short season sucks!!!

[@Mike-cp1ft]

Sucks you're dealing with that man, especially with ordering so early and paying the premium they ask for these sleds. I just picked up a new left over 22 xcr 850 after being out of snowmobiling for 12 years. Im from the WNY area and the seasons are too short to be waiting around till Feb to get your sled. Good luck, hope you get it soon. Side note, my co-worker just picked up his boost from Jan-cen in wny last week. All black.

[@snomofilms]

Went through this last season. Got mine end of march. One ride in horrible conditions. Never again. Ruined the entire winter waiting and stressing on that sled. Such a shame

[@lukem5141]

Got my n/a assault in November. I searched assault boost on my marketplace and it is full of them. Locked in the Midwest. I also found that my portal was fairly accurate but i got the call the day the portal released so i took it with a grain of salt. I do not think the portal is accurate currently because there are constantly people on the groups saying they got their sleds and the portal never updated.

[@Revrider550]

Yeah I keep hoping that's the case with mine. Upstate Blake is supposed to have his delivered by next Tuesday so we will see if mine randomly shows up. Fingers crossed it does. Unfortunately the prices im seeing on Assault boosts on dealer floors are insane anywhere in my area. Ive seen some decently proced VR1s though. As we get closer to Feb if I have no news on mine it may be time to start looking for a different boost.

[@murph2521]

I'm from the southern tier in ny and don't have any snow hardly. Do you have snow where your at ? Been dying to ride but no snow

[@Freneticburn]

I've already gone riding like 5 times so far this season but I know better than to buy a polaris 😜. Last year I walked into a dealership and bought a 22 riot 8000 with the QS3s right then and there and haven't had a single issue yet and love the machine. I have no issue keeping up with my maniac buddy on his mid-00s mach z (1000cc 2 stroke). I was thinking about a renegade xrs beforehand but didn't realize you had to spring check it and I could only find base models at any nearby dealerships at the time. I'd probably be riding a doo if the machine had just been available and I cannot imagine how pissed I would be if I ordered a machine in spring and still didn't have it until February.

[@MrSnowman427]

Good luck Buddy!!

[@braapadk3970]

I work at a dealership in Western NY and every boost that we sold has been delivered already. I really wonder what the hold up is with yours.

[@richardwooden1235]

vr1 boost 129 shipped on 12/28. was told it will be at my dealer on 1/17 in mid hudson valley ny. red red red

[@735Films]

I ordered a Khaos Boost 155 and a Khaos 850. MY 850NA shipped December 23rd and should get it next week. As for my boost, it got a ship date by the end of January... So almost 5 weeks to get to eastern Canada. I won't get my boost until sometime in March. So I took my deposit back for my boost. Will run my 850NA for this year and hope for allocation of a Khaos 9R next snowcheck. I got my 23 spring order BRP Expedition on September 9th. But BRP are having their issues too. It's a shit show everywhere.

[@CraigMediaProductions]

As far as I'm concerned, these sleds should be built and at the dealers by October at the latest. Sucks man, but I'm still riding a 2016 XRS so I haven't felt this pain yet. 🤣

[@paulpotempa8829]

When it gets to the dealer will it be stuck there waiting on recalls to be fixed?

[@D2farms]

Local dealer in Minnesota has 2 switchback assault boosts. But cant find a switchback assault 850 anywhere.

[@Revrider550]

Oh man my dealer has a 23 and a 22 in stock! We need to switch areas apparently haha

[@tlh001]

Wow that Sucks! It sure seems like the manufactures could give their customers an exact build date & time. They know the scheduled build date months in advance as they are scheduling suppliers and factories. Removing the unknown would help a lot. Polaris - be transparent. Then when there are disruptions (and there always are) - UPDATE the customer with the new build date & time. If they don't have a new date, let the customer know why. Basic customer service! And all Snowchecks should be the first units built - ahead of any dealer orders or the CEO's order. Fortunately for me I snowchecked my 2012 Ski-Doo Renegade X 800 etec and my 2019 Ski-Doo Renegade XRS 850 etec (Serial numbers ended in 0005 and 0074, respectively), and they were delivered to my dealer around November 1 of those seasons. So I had a good experience. I hope your sled shows up soon!

[@jasonmartin1578]

In the same boat man and pissed. Have a Boost VR1 on order, ordered 1st day on snow check all black black tunnel and the have moved my build date 3 times, still not built. Called customer service and they told me it was basically my fault for ordering a custom sled????? Why are stock sled being shipped? Your right and it is screwing my small dealer who is already getting screwed on the recalls they get paid 90 minutes to do. No excuse, not happy.

[@UB_brands]

My snowcheck arrived while I was away over the holidays, when I got back the dealer had sold it to someone else, they gave me the deposit back but still I was pissed!

[@paulmollise1856]

Our group still haven’t got our recalls done yet 7 sleds need done no info

[@jodypierson3137]

I live 2 hours away from the Polaris manufacturer and my xcr has said in transit since august 19

[@brpmd]

As for Polaris… if they want to fix the snowcheck process, they need to limit the choices, my 9r finally came in last week and hold up was the tunnel color I chose. They need to pair down the color and option choices… everything is a stock sled, offer wraps, offer real discounts for spring orders.

So let me ask you this. Why buy a new snowmobile every single year? Do you feel they drop in value too much if you hold on to them for a couple of years? I recently bought a used 21 assault 850 after not owning or riding a snowmobile for 20 years. My plan is just to keep this one and maintain it so I can enjoy it for many many more years. Edit: you answered most of my questions in the video. Maybe someday I'll learn to wait on questions until I actually watch the video haha

[@jefftuttle9530]

still waiting on my assualt boost here alaska, I feel you 100%

[@chadmiller1120]

Gota get away from wanting the latest. Your channel won’t suffer!

[@Revrider550]

Thanks man! Means a lot to hear that!!

[@tg0003bpa]

Same build as you bit with 2 inch track. Got a dec 26 ship date, still no news

[@andyslater2579]

Hey RevRider 550 - so my polaris portal hasn't updated, I have same ship date as yours. Im only waiting on a 850 Indy XC 137 with black tunnel black panels..standard gauge Fox QS3 shocks, red rails....can't understand why it's not here yet !

[@nickpitts4811]

got mine all red, including the tunnel beginning of january

[@kensmart2674]

yup I'm in the same boat. They keep moving the ship date out.

[@ethanvids1735]

I have a friend that works for Polaris. They are having troubles getting parts to build these snowmobiles. You probably won’t see it tell may

My 9r pro 155 showed up in washington state a week ago...first ride the engine locked up with 51 miles..had to pay 2k for helicopter to fly it off the mtn

[@sheddski2942]

my dealer in Newhampshire Has 2 in stock right now he was a Arctic cat Dealer Sinse 1969 and now this is first year Polaris but the 2boost are on his site

[@hworkmaniv88]

They honestly need to cut off the numbers like Ski-Doo did. Crazy that Ski-Doo within a few days said "Welp alright no more displays and no more smart shocks". There is also a lot of blame to be placed on the manufacturers too though. They are trying to push summer and winter toys down the same assembly line and maximizing their production window as late as they can. I remember when I was a kid my Polaris Indy XC SP 500 came in to the dealer in August of that year. Now its crazy to see Ski-Doo not starting production until October.

[@aklegion5747]

My lynx showed up at the dealership mid October. Received it December 23. No one would show up to work to build it.

[@roller_47]

It's an unfortunate situation all around and Polaris is not alone in this of course. I ordered a 600R Renegade X and was told it would be late February or even MARCH by the time I see it. I found a new 600R Adrenaline to get me by this season but I did have to pay up a bit for it.

[@bradhynes2232]

i ordered a 600 renegade x also just got it last week unreal lark harbor newfoundland

[@mathieuboisvert2951]

I have the exact same sled build has you and between built and arrival at the dealer was like 9 days..arrived last week in quebec, canada

[@Revrider550]

Fingers crossed mine will be on a similar timeline!

[@ryguy151]

I know of quite a few dealerships that order higher end snowcheck sleds in employee names for floor stock. They aren't even to do that but they get away with it every year.

[@jacobshinabarger9426]

I apologize for always asking questions, but have you heard any issues with the assaults overheating on trail due to the long track? maybe the 2 inch heats up more than the ice ripper? just curious!

[@Revrider550]

The Assault definitely runs hotter than BRP sleds but ive never had true overheating issues. Even without running ice scratchers I just make sure to ride up onto a snow bank if we are using a road to access a trail or something. On my Arctic cats I've had to run ice scratchers to keep them cool however. Those sleds definitely run hot!

[@jacobshinabarger9426]

@@Revrider550 Thanks for always taking the time to answer my questions! excited to see how you enjoy the boost, I was at a dealer yesterday and they had a 23 red and black boost assault which may have sold me with the longer track, I think the boost would be perfect for that sled! also, excited to see what Lynx has coming on Monday!
