Well first off I chuckled at the pro x, "designed for riders who like to stand up and dominate the ditches and moguls." Also how many different types of RMK's can they make? I just don't see the difference between an assault and a pro. All have 800s with 3in and 155. Different colors or what? And then they have the SKS too?

I don't know but I think I would be willing to commit a crime if I thought it would help me get an 800 RMK Assault 155 3".

15399.so what 16200otd wow that's what the one I built would cost. I don't know man a pile of coin for something that is going to look like a scratched up pile of chit with in a yr .
it is about time they started painting tunnels again. I still will never understand why the OEM quit painting tunnels for a while.

Slidoo back about 2000 when they stopped claimed it saved 2 or 3 pounds it was the start of the weight game.

we were talking about sleds this weekend, we basically came up with what was released as the SKS, basically the perfect UP sled, they should have offered it with a go-pro, shovel, and a BOGO on pasty's from Krupps.

Not much new other than a higher price tag. I do like the colors on the Rush and Indy LE's. that all black and the retro blue are sharp! I still don't understand why they don't make the Indy SP with a standard 1.25 track and digital gauge.

The sks and rmk lineup are the new axys chassis and come with th 800ho, elect oil pump new powervalves etc. the rush switchback and switchback assault are unchanged from last year. I was kinda hoping for the axys chassis in the switchback assault. I still dont know what i would upgrade to from my '13 switchback 600es. Either a axys switchback 600 or a switchback assault 600. I really like the 600 motor. Havent had a chance to try out the 800HO though.

They had it last year too, many just didn't know about it. My std. RMK LE non-pro came with 2.4 track piggyback shocks chaincase front bulkhead cooler aluminum rear bumper and over structure tubes pro taper bars with pro brake lever and console switches all for $2k less msrp than the SKS.

Who buys a new sled and drives in the ditch? I remember having a 1970 Husky Herters and diving in the ditch and getting a ski lodged in a culvert and sailing over the handlebars 15 feet and getting a handlebar in the nutsack.

I also remember riding a 70's Moto-Ski Futura and getting stuck in some ditch sludge in front of a farm I rode in the ditch of.

$10,000 2015 Renegade in the ditch; F NO!

A couple of low snow years in a row like this year and we could lose a manufacturer, interest dies along with the weakest sled company like in the 80's. Heck; Cat and Yamaha are already sharing chassis/motors, how long til they merge?

We had a red and white Herters with a 18 inch wide track. Nice chrome bumper and handle bars. Great to learn how to lean to make your turns! Now I have 9800 miles on the 600 Switchback and running strong, why upgrade to the same thing? When are some "new tech" motors coming out in 600 class?
