Polaris 9r, going to pick it up on Saturday.
Oh Allen, I'm so disappointed in you......
Hey ever had a Doo 900 on the dyno? I put a MCX 210 setup in a bud's machine and he claims it actually runs pretty good. Certainly not 998 fast, but outruns the 900's and 850 turbo stuff easily enough. Should run with a stock 998 I would think, maybe not top end but close perhaps. I don't think he's run against a stocker yet at all. You know him, Chad O.

Already made my decision last Spring. Leftover 23 Boost. Love the sled so far, but don't have enough seat time to discuss long term satisfaction.
On a recent trip to Old Forge though, it never made it off the trailer.
Put 360 miles on my 06 Apex and had a ball. Suspension isn't as much of a concern on smooth frequently groomed trails. And the old Apex can still rail quite well. And the modded engine still hauls the mail! And that 4 hole mill still sounds sweet!
Best of both worlds I suppose.

Sometimes we have to experiment in life, LOL!
I haven't had any DOO 900 stuff out yet. I know the MCX stuff is usually pretty good.

At 46 and with the winters we are having I will likely keep my 998 for the foreseeable future.

It will be a long way down the road for me. I have wrestled with this thought for a while now. I finally settled this and picked up a 2025 LTX LE! These 998's with EPS are just flat out amazing. So, I'm good for many years to come. The 18 has 12,000 miles and still has plenty of life left, it also has OEM EPS that I added last year along with many mods over the years. Enjoy the hell out of that sled so it helped with my decision to purchase the Final Edition 2025.

As I said, in the conditions I was riding in, the ole Apex still flat out works. Still love the engine performance but, have never cared for the suspension performance in the rough. But in the smoother trails it still runs with the best of them!Why didn't it get off the trailer???
Had it been bumpy, the Apex would have stayed on the trailer.

I see nothing that will replace my 22 Tcat. I rode it 110 miles yesterday in tight trails, switchbacks, and on the lakes. With EPS, GPS, a 225/240/270 tune, and all the small things improvements made through the advice on this site, I cannot think of a sled I would like better. I added a Ron Ward torsional kit and my TAPP clutch this year. I see 13/14MPG trail riding, the EPS keeps my arms and shoulders fresh after a long day, and having the suspension dialed into my preferences makes it all work for me.
