Signfan Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Anyone here riding / owning one of these sleds? If so how are you finding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 For whatever reason, I do not believe Polaris has made any yet. I have been watching the dealer inventories in Maine on their web sites and none have been listed. I also stop often into one large dealer and he says he has not got any yet. I would really like to try one, but I have my doubts that twin cylinder will topple SkiDoo's 900 triple cylinder ACE. The ACE is one very sweet engine. But on the other hand, the Polaris Matryx is one super fun sled to drive. jak and MrGutz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I'm waiting on the turbo version for next year. mikerider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 The 600 lb. dry weight has me concerned about the Polaris. I was seriously thinking about buying the 650 two stroke but dependability issues concerned me. There are several Polaris Adventure Centers in Maine. One has Matryx 650 rentals for $999.00 Mon. thru Fri. I may do this a couple times this winter to get my 'fix'. jak and dooright 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signfan Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Wow they're production is that messed up again is it. Year after year seems to be the same thing over and over again. That's disappointing. I truly thought they had something to compete with brp here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a xcr 650 last year liked it alot but wasn't the sled for saddlebaging trips so it didn't get used much so I sold it. now just one sled set up for what I do 90% of the time. mikerider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sled Dog Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Last year we went to Maine. 54 miles into the trip the lone Polaris with us blew up. 3000 miles on it. Brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - I do not think I have ever seen so few Polaris sleds on our last trip, it was kind of weird. Tons of Doo's, than Cats and the very odd Poo.
