    Just rode 1,000km in 4 days, 13 guys with late model and current model sleds. With the 2" paddle, light weight, and great motor nothing else was hooking up like my assault. I just love this sled.

    I have one, tried many others and ride with many, this thing is the best all around sled. So happy to ride the groomed trails or hit the hills with this machine. Best all around sled I have ridden thus far, hands down...

    I love mine, i’m in the prairies so i got the cobra track. Right now there is 2 ft snow, powder in the sheltered meadows and hard as fruck on the windswept ones. The 1.6 cobra likes it . Big paddles dont work here, except for maybe the morning after a fresh dump of snow..

      I put 90 miles on my assault sunday. Very happy. Not stuck yet but at least you can carry a snow bungee in the tunnel pack

    why do you guys not test Lynx? Are they not shipped to North America?

      We cannot get one to evaluate in North America. We've ridden in Finland and would love to see Lynx snowmobiles over here.

    Wow these guys love polaris. whats so exiting about another smelly 2 stroke throw away grenade ditch banger. Nice job with the video. Wish you had this much passion for the real king of snowmobiles. You know, the kind that owners keep for 20, 30, 40 thousand plus miles.

    • @GenSparks
      @GenSparks 7 років тому

      Those kings of snowmobiles are too heavy, just not the same and sometimes cost more in parts than the new 800ho. The new polaris 800 is very reliable, it depends on how much milleage you actually do.

      Well many did over 10k miles withou blowing with the 800h.o and they are not hard on clutching, slides etc like other brands.

  • @5up3rm4n8
    @5up3rm4n8 7 років тому +2

    is this with the 1.35 or 2.0. I can't decide what to go with. maybe the 1.6. I want to keep control on trials and not get stuck in deep powder

      5UP3RM4N 2” buddy.... I got a 2017 like this sled with a 2” and it’s insane in powder and lake running.... And on trail, as long as you have some snow for cooling, this track works good to.... Hooks up well and when you go off trail is unreal! Hope that helps!!

    • @MrMad4mud
      @MrMad4mud 7 років тому

      I’ve got this exact sled with the 1.35 and love the track. You can stud the 1.35 for traction/safety and it still shreds powder like crazy yet no worries of cooling or folded lugs in low snow conditions. Perfect track for flatland/trail/lake running. All depend on where you ride of course
