Hey Gents, related/not related question…. Polaris borked my snowcheck for 146 assault. Now I’ve got 3 options. 1. Wait until March for my Assault. AKA no riding this year… 2.Pick up a cancelled snowcheck for 2022 XCR 136 3.Pick up cancelled spring check 2022 Renegade XRS I plan to ride North Eastern Ontario and 70/30 on/off trail Not sure what to do…
Luke thanks for another great video. Now if Polaris could just build and deliver my new 850 Indy XCR would be great. By the way @ 3:03 does the pic of the r/w/b xcr have a bent right side lower a-arm?
It is an interesting observation but I think it is just the angle of the shot. I could be mistaken thought. Let's see how many comments we can get on this...
Hi, nice review, I like xcr specs and package but can you or guys here tell me if I should go with 128 or 136 track ? I ride mix of trails and off trail , probably 60-65 % trail Thank you
Paintently waiting for a Polaris 4 stroke trail/utility sled. Soon as they do, this life long Doo fan will make the switch for this segment. I've already made the switch to a Matryx RMK 850 155 from a Skidoo Summit 850 154.
I just picked up my 650 XC 137 and it doesn't have the reinforcement plate on the rear slide rails,dealer wants $500 😂 do u know about any other products to use ,I can't believe there not on there after spending $17500
What about the rider like me who likes big boy turbocharged 4stroke power and reliability 😂😂, still not considering a Polaris. They look awesome, and ride awesome but are lacking what I want in a snowmobile. I wish they would offer a full on 4 stroke turbo!!!
@@mrbillybob444 Yes, it comes up on the display. You work through the low, medium and high settings on the bars and the thumb warmers separately, where on the 7S the complete set-up is shown and you can adjust all of the settings at once on the screen. Regardless, the new system and the warmers are the best I have ever used in my over 50 years of snowmobiling.
You say get rid of the fanners but a guy two comments up is asking for fanners to brought back industry wide, if you don’t like em don’t buy em but some people still want them
I've owned several 4 and 2 stroke sleds. After buying and enjoying my VR1 last winter, its doubtful I'll go back to a 4 stroke for a very long time! The sled barely smells whatsoever. Its honestly not even noticeable. Nothing like sleds from just a few years ago!
I have been in the past critical of this channel and how they promote different brands but after watching all the vids this yr they are listening to there subscribers and giving a ton of great content from all the brands. Kudos to snow trax for a great season so far!
With all due respect to what are usually excellent Snow Trax reviews, I totally disagree with this one. Using the “Indy” name on so many models totally ruins the wonderful heritage of the name. It’s almost laughable that a manufacturer would use one high-level name for two very different chassis (I think it’s actually three if you include the small version), different suspensions, different engines, and many other variations that would take too long to list This is a Polaris marketing gimmick to make buyers feel good about buying an “Indy” model, even if the performance doesn’t match the name and history. It would be like SkiDoo naming 24 models Blizzard or Mach, or Yamaha having 24 V-Max or SRX models. Give us a break, Polaris - not everything in your lineup deserves to be called Indy, and both reviewers and consumers should be calling them out for it.
Back in the ‘90’s and early 2000’s the Polaris lineup was almost all “Indy’s”…. Indy XC, Indy XC deluxe, Indy XLT, Indy trail, Indy trial touring, Indy classic, etc…. The list literally goes on forever. Many different engines including twins and triples, chassis, suspension and track / seat lengths. That’s what they’re doing now. You have no clue what you’re talking about Dave! I could see if they called every sled an XCR but the iconic Indy name is an umbrella for several models in their lineup…. Comparing the Indy name in polaris’s lineup to a single model like a Mach or an SRX shows how absolutely little you actually know about the history of the name!! Educate yourself.
I may be in the minority but I can't stand the new Matryx platform sleds, they are some of the ugliest snowmobiles I've seen polaris make and performance wise aren't an improvement over the Axyis chassis.
VR1 sounds about right for me. 650 Patriot and we are good to go!
Another great video!!! you guys do know we’d watch 2-3 episodes per day right??? Keep up the good work guys!! happy sledding
Indy 650 XCR 2022 136 first ride Thursday! Indy is a great line. Great to have it back.
I still like my 2018 Indy Adventure 550 with 155" track. Can go anywhere with wide pro float skis up front. With long flip up track.
Im 13 and have a indy sp 600 2014 and its so fun to drive in my opinionen. its fast doesnt weight much and just super fun to drive

Great walk through the models.
Man I love the red white and blue XCRs.
Luke thanks for another great video. Now if Polaris could just build and deliver my new 850 Indy XCR would be great. By the way @ 3:03 does the pic of the r/w/b xcr have a bent right side lower a-arm?
Good eye!
It is an interesting observation but I think it is just the angle of the shot. I could be mistaken thought. Let's see how many comments we can get on this...
I does look bent compared to the one beside it but the camera angle is higher too.
Does the XCR really have rebound control? I'd take that over dual compression any day?
I would love to see a review on a Polaris Voyageur 650. No reviews anywhere on it.
If I were to choose it would be Indy Adventure with the 650 Patriot

Thank you
They need to come out with a new model….the “Indy Ditchbanger” just a 550 or 650. Cheaper suspension but with a reinforced skid and chassis
Isn’t that what the cross country is for?
Leaf spring ditch banger.
In depth with switchback snowmobile from polaris in right for you for you next video
As a couple who's new in to this but would like to do it for fun , which one you guys recommend?
Think we are ordering a new Indy evo for my 8 year old this spring he’s ready to ride but too big for double up
Id love to see a review of the 650 voyageur. looking to upgrade next year from the 550.
Paintently waiting for a Polaris 4 stroke trail/utility sled.
Soon as they do, this life long Doo fan will make the switch for this segment.
I've already made the switch to a Matryx RMK 850 155 from a Skidoo Summit 850 154.
I think there’s more of a chance for an electric Indy than a 4 stroke
I could wear out an XCR no problem
Fan cooled sleds need to. make a comeback in other manufacturers. I would rather have my girls on one of them than a 600.
850's are still having more issues than they should. Haven't heard of any 650 engine issues though
2021 jackshaft bearing failure on my 650 indy vr1.... 3400 km.... my buddies 650 xc as well.

Hey Polaris...still missing the fatal blow in the market with the 4-stroke engine to really steal the show...100 to 120 hp is enough 🤩
How fast is a 2016 Polaris indy sp 600
Xcr does not come with rebound adjustments on shocks the cross country 600 does
❤
Are the smart warmers unique to the 7s display and therefore limited to snow check models?
Belive so.
I have a 2021 with standard display and it has the smart warmers. Great idea and they work great as well!
@@bowana9889 how does the adjustment work? Is it also on the little display
@@mrbillybob444 Yes, it comes up on the display.

@@mrbillybob444 no the launch has regular display with smart warmers
Polaris.... Make a 440 twin liquid for the Evo or an entry sled. Retire the fanner. Hell, an XCR 440?
You say get rid of the fanners but a guy two comments up is asking for fanners to brought back industry wide, if you don’t like em don’t buy em but some people still want them
@@nickolaibuck9301 it's my opinion. You don't like it, don't read it or comment on it.
@@Kevin-ix4qz no that’s not how that works, I’ll comment if I want to, especially when you saying the rest of us shouldn’t be aloud to choose a fanner
@@nickolaibuck9301 lol. Get over it
My last 3 sleds were 4 Stokes. Where’s my Indy if I don’t want to smell like oil?
I've owned several 4 and 2 stroke sleds. After buying and enjoying my VR1 last winter, its doubtful I'll go back to a 4 stroke for a very long time! The sled barely smells whatsoever. Its honestly not even noticeable. Nothing like sleds from just a few years ago!
My next sled will be a 4 stroke to !
The smell of 2-stroke oil being burnt in the morning is what snowmobiling is all about!!
Indy Adventure 4 stroke, done hauling oil , Northern Quebec has a lot of miles between tanks
Checkmate people who said the last video was a skidoo commercial. This is one of literally telling what polaris to buy.
I have been in the past critical of this channel and how they promote different brands but after watching all the vids this yr they are listening to there subscribers and giving a ton of great content from all the brands. Kudos to snow trax for a great season so far!

Everything used to be called an Indy soooooo….
Even Indy Lite, the light beer of snow machines
I'll stick to my cat!
I disagree. I prefer the Rush platform and they don’t make it anymore therefore there is not an indie for me.😞
I may be in the minority but I can't stand the new Matryx platform sleds, they are some of the ugliest snowmobiles I've seen polaris make and performance wise aren't an improvement over the Axyis chassis.
Disagree, but respect your opinion.
