Boy that thing has a nice display on it. Always like the Indy’s as of late. I’d like to put Polaris interactive display on my 2016 Sportsman 850. I think they have the nicest displays on the market right now.
@Shawn Norman unfortunately no I haven’t. I would be this year with the lack of decent snow we have in Vermont this year. However I’ve heard it’s difficult to get across with Covid going on right now.
Appreciate the vid. Going to possibly purchase a new sled or a at least a used 2021 for next season after not having a sled for 10 years. So I watching a lot of vids and doing a lot of research. Thinking I’ll go w a 600/650 at least 137 track. Just not sure between a po or doo yet
After testing quite a few sleds out I really do like the 137” size track on either brand. I am not biased towards any brand, I think both ski doo and Polaris make an excellent sled. Good luck with your purchase!
@@rockspowersports i want to go as fast as i possibly can with out doing engine mods only clutching traction and gas but i dont get the best of the best of the gas but ive tried a 2009 Arctic Cat Tz1 turbo blew my doors off
@@rockspowersports actually the stock shocks sucks, I bought totaltek shocks to it and the handlebar is too high so you cant use weight on cornering so good. But the trails are vert different here in Finland.
Don't forget to go only 45 mph! 😂 I watched Northwoods law. Crazy that you can go a max of 45 mph. I guess a 4 stroke without turbo would be good for that state.
@@rockspowersports does it have some kind of gimbals or something? I’m heading up this year with my dad. He’s 65 and this will be his last year out. I want to make sure I record it all. Which go pro is it? Sorry for all the questions bud I just want to make sure I get the same set up because it’s exactly what I’m wanting. Thank you !
@@joewaz100 This was a go pro hero 8 and it came with a few different mounts. It has a stick on 3m adhesive that sticks to pretty much anything. I have it on the side of my helmet. That’s great you want to get a video for the memories!
@sam who cares if he wasn’t going fast. He has the power when he needs it. Most people of buy premium sleds over the standard sport models don’t need it either....
The 600 is snappier more like an old style 2 stroke the 650 is the opposite much smoother power and more low end torque. I still like my 600 but the 650 is probably going to be the better engine if it ends up being reliable which it should be.
Just buy the 850 and be done. Good luck selling the 650. This dealer is on here because every year the last sleds to sell are the small cc. Go big. Better faster resale.
You can't compare that to the 600 it was a vibrating bitch and so was the 800 the 650 and 850 has no vibrating the 600 and 800 will make your hands num in the in a mile.
I agree with you there, the 600 does vibrate a lot it.. The first couple of rides of the season my arms go numb after 20 minutes of riding but then I’m good to go..
Thanks for the vid man I’m in New Hampshire probably gonna pick of one of these sleds within the next month
Both are great sleds I’m sure your going to enjoy whichever one you go with.

I agree with you! They have all the info you could ever need and the size of it is perfect, very easy to see.
The 650 has the 850's crank and maybe 600 pistons/bore and the 600 engine hasnt changed for about 10 years except for ecu flashes and idk what else
Good review thx...
What are you using for a camera and mic setup? Great audio quality.
This was a go pro hero 8 and a cheap mic I bought off eBay
You're awfully close to Quebec. Have you ever made the border jump and experienced the Quebec trail system?
Great vid. Cheers.

@THE ONE no I haven’t, I’ll have to check it out. You would think they would of made them better not worse...
@@rockspowersports So why the 137 over the 129?
@@h2ocopnh the 137 seems to take the bumps a bit better and gets alittle more traction. You can’t go wrong with either one.
@@rockspowersports why the 137 over the 129 to me the 129 seems to steer better and a little faster top end do you agree?
I wish you would have gotten into the actual review at the beginning instead of 3/4 of the way through. When you finally did it was helpful thanks! 😀😜
I wonder if i should go back to peelaris cuz all i can run is 87 octane max for my part of Alaska
That is a nice option to have built in. I think all the fuel injected machines should have different tunes for the different octanes...
@@rockspowersports i think so to bud i had a 2014 indy 800sp it was fast till 90mph then fell flat on its ass but i always had passenger

Which 1 feels better 600 or 650?? Powerwise

@@edwardabrahamiii3742 if your looking at brand new it’s going to have to be the 650. I don’t believe the 600 is a choice for the 2022 sleds

Except if you’re a solo rider the 600 class is better for reliability..
Reliability on the 650 will be much better than on the 850. The 650 feels very much like the 800 up til about 70mph
