Your kidding right ? That chasis is so out dated rode my Uncles Matryx a few weeks ago procross is not even close to the same league !
I prefer the Pro-cross. I cant stand the body roll in every Matryx I have ridden.
If there is too much body roll in the turns, a couple of clicks on the front shocks is the quick and easy cure. I have a Matryx XCR and VR1 Boost. They corner fantastic.
maybe it can be dialed out. I have ridden 6 different ones and they all felt the same.
I also own an 850 vr1 and handling isn’t as good as my sidewinder. I think it can be dialed out with springs and shocks, however it will loose the capability’s in the bumps and stutters. Sure the procross is old, but it has been revised a lot and front end is still best in the industry. Rear end is a good compromise and the right shocks will improve it a ton.
Wait what??? They have not been built yet? How is the quality poor?
Look at them, lots of cheap and poor build choices. Compare that to the other things out there and it makes you wonder. It will still have the best front suspension and a capable rear and probably better ergos, but lots is still subpar and really not a fan. Take the runningboards for instance. It’s a molded plastic, sure that will work but it’s chintzy, it’s also just mounted to a piece of round stock that is shaped. Look at skidoo Polaris and lynx they all have machines or formed aluminum and so on. Sure it might be a great piece for racing as they can be swapped quick but it looks cheap to me. Even the aluminum replacement. The gauge pods look cheap, the gauge looks even cheaper, the bars riser and riser pad look chintzy. The rear bumper and tunnel look simple and cheap. also lots of other pieces but I will give those a chance to be a prototype disposable piece.
Fair enough.. Thinking I will base my opinion after they are built and hit the snow.. I will tell it like it is if and when it shows up and hits the snow.
Bit harsh without actually seeing one but we all have our own opinions. Some of us are still holding on to the old ways I see.
Seen them, taken panels off and looked around and riden them.
Sure they will hold up. But do they not look and feel like the cheapest pos ever? Does it make it look better when it’s a pieces of round stock bent to shape and pounded flat to mount. Yes it’s replaceable. Sounds great but for how many times I’ve needed to replace any of that in my lifetime (30+years on a sled) I’ve never thought, hey let’s have some cheap race team inspired replaceable boards. The plan isn’t the bad part it’s the execution. And we all know it continues into the rest of the chassis. Belt drive is a nice piece, how well executed time will tell. Body panels are a step above 3d print quality. I like the looks hate the quality as it looks/feels cheaper than a procross.
