Here is a Pic of there protoype/early production sled, It actually rode nice. While the front suspension is nothing to write home about the rear rode realy nice and soaked up the bumps. However it looked complicated with multiple piviots and the linkages. Sled felt slightly heavy, and well fit and finish was Polaris. I think its a good step forward but its not a game changer.

Looks like an over engineered cry for sales. I feel sorry for anyone that purchases one of these to find it's a flop. Poo must be in trouble.
 
I have to agree! I seen one in person @ the Big 4 sled show we had in our city this past week! That has to be THE ugliest sled I have ever seen!! I have no doubt that it rides well but it seriously looks like someone dropped a truck on the #*$&@ end! It looks terribly out of proportion!!
 
Yesterday I was at the John Deere dealer which is also a Polaris dealer and I was shocked when he told me the 'Rush' will sell for $10,000-$10,200. For a 600...wow?
 
It's not the structural adhesives I worry about; it's how to deal with them should a repair be needed. If you bend or damage anything you’re either going to total it, or have to take it to the deal assuming they are equipped to repair it. It's just like vehicles of today, they can't repair any structural component, it’s replaced. Yes there are exceptions but for the most part that’s how they deal with them. It just costs so much that typically it's cheaper to total the vehicle out.
 
My buddy works at a dealer ship and Polaris flew him out to NY to ride that sled..

He said it rode and handled unbelievable..

We was a die hard yamaha guy untill his 2007 phazer blue its engine for the 2nd time..

Now he is on a 08 dragon and loves it..
 
Some of it for me had to do with the calibration I am picky and realy work hard to set up my skids. A well set-up skid makes all the differance in the world. If fact my set-up changes from track to track
 
UGLY!

Agree! That rear end is even more ugly than the first rev's came with. I guess ice build up will cause huge problems on that linkage design. Also for those who buy this sled and never have found a reason to buy 100% water proof clothing in the past, I guess they will need it now.
 
Polaris needs to fix they're 800 motors first. We've got Dragons out here lunching pistons like crazy. Parts are on back order till who knows when. To make matters worse, they are not even sure what the root cause is. They "think" it is an electrical issue causing a part throttle lean out/burn down.
