Taller spindle???? Gee, I wonder where that came from?.......Cough, cough( Arctic cat) 🙂 I remember everyone giving AC crap or questioning their reasoning for the taller spindles back in 2012 when they released the Procross, or earlier on the race sleds. But with that said, even though I'm an AC guy, I was checking out the New Doo's and Poos the other day and I would have to say, AC is easily a notch below those 2 when looking @ fit n' finish/ and overall quality of materials. Just sitting on the sleds, comfort wise, the Doo and Poo are better, but "Fun Factor", the way the sled feels when sitting on it, I would give that to the CAT :-) I Love the competition between these manufacturers, makes them better for us! If I had to buy new right now, it would be the 9R XCR or 9RAssault 🙂
smart shocks can be cool for trail riders but please the comp edition needs to be an aggressive sled... an snow x or XC sled for consumers. add a 600 with shot and 850 NA with shot... keep the good 46mm clicker shocks no gizmos or gadjets needed... also a 1.5 or 1.75 option track... if i order a 600 for 26 i'll be swapping in a 600RS track and maybe spindles too.
Because this isn’t actually a comp sled and the smart shocks bely that truth. Almost no one can use this sled to its potential, and those who could, probably can’t afford it. This is the high margin sled for the rich middle aged dude who just wants “the best”. This is what happens when the product lineup commoditizes what was supposed to be the comp sleds - XCR’s and XRS’s into normal trail sleds, and now there needs to be another level above that. The actual XC sleds do exist and they are 600s, but only like ten people want that.
Good review. I almost bought one. A couple concerns. 2 ply track durability & manual start. I understand why they went manual & it’s not a huge deal but a question…..can an electric start be added?
SnowTrax, you guys rock! I would take content like that for hours on. Keep it up.

when you going to do some content on some entry level/affordable sleds??
Nice looking sled
Will the ras rx front end kit fit on my '24 BC XRS to make it the wider front end?
Can we put de RAS RX on the G4 4 Stroke?

Will be the most unreliable sled on the planet, Turbos suck.
Can't be the polaris 850 turbo is already
