Anyone care to share a rough snowcheck price for a XC850 137 or a 850 Renegade ? Trying to decide on ordering one or keeping my eye out for a low mile unit

I was quoted 12950 plus tax for a 650 XCR 136” msrp is basically the same as an 850 Indy XC 137” so Should be in that ballpark

fuji could help out on the 850 Rene price?

I can say there are no Doo sponsored coupons for 2022 as spring orders are double what they for 2021 orders 9 days ago.

P.M. me and I can tell you what a 2022 Gade 850x could be priced at.

That doesn't sound bad, especially with the warranty. Thanks

2022 XC 650 129...time for variety and see if the Polaris Matrix sleds really will stack up to my sons 21 600r and my 21 850x. Hope so, but not sure after hearing some of the Polaris issues of late and having zero problems with various ski doo sleds over the past 12+ years......

What are the Polaris issues you've been hearing about? I haven't heard anything and would like to watch for them.

The only issues I'm hearing are mostly jackshaft bearings that should be looked at. Pull the secondary, pick the seal, and grease. Wouldn't hurt to do the driveshaft bearing at the same time, just a little more work getting the cover off and lined back up. 30-40 minute job tops. I'd do it when new, and check every 2k after that. I don't think the grease they put in them new hold up very well. Been like this for a few years now. After greasing my '18 XCR with 240 miles, the grease I put in (Mystic JT6 -20) lasted the full 6k miles I put on it last year. On my '21, the jackshaft bearing was pretty full at new, but failed at 3320 miles.

Hahaa, indeed! I actually drive a '17 XCR when the wife is riding with me. She gets the '18. Happy wife....
I would like to keep the '17 as a backup though!

I just ordered the 22 XCR and convinced the wife to switch from a 13 Renegade to my old 18 XCR!

So on a $1100.00 upgrade (list price) your dealer is only charging you $500.00 that sounds like in the resale world you would be a fool not to go with the 900t, 55% off retail.

When you say it like that yes.
I reran the numbers and the 850X Gade had a higher percentage of MSRP by 1.1% so I did the 2 stroke.

That's a win/win!! As with any AXYS Rush, just need to dial it into her liking. I rode it the first ride of the season to make certain everything was working as it should. I replicated most of my settings. She got on it and wasn't too happy. We adjusted the settings till she loved it! She really likes her ski pressure for confident turning. I ended up throwing on the Pro S sway bar to get flatter corning for her.

Ha ha! Sounds as if a "weight issue" to me, eh! I do think that one ride on that 900R T for you, and you would have been bitten for sure! No chance on being able to pick it up when you resale now. Too much for this guy now days anyway. Sure would have made a nice Canadian Cruiser?

I finally looked at rhe the Poo, Yammie and A/C websites and here are my initial impressions on 22's..
-A/C website looks like it was created in 2000 by children, especially when you see Poo's. Looks like they cut their budget drastically.
-Poo called em Indy last year, now they are Starfire..who thinks of this stuff..those names are played out and nobody is impressed. Still charging for e start, painted rails and tunnels on top models..hilarious. Good sleds, just greedy son of a guns.
-Yammie, click on crossover and all sleds are Sidewinders..what insight into what people buy..hilarious.

I am very happy Poo offers some color choices for the hood, tunnel and rails! At least you have more than 1 or 2 colors to chose from and your sled doesn't look like everyone else's. If you can't afford e start, I'm sure all sleds can be pull started, can't they? ;)

Yeah, well, fuji back in the day, shall we say, "Polaris Starfire" was a branding name for Poo, say 50 years ago! "Starfire" race sleds, and "Starfire" engines, eh!

Mark I have to agree with you, it is great that Polaris does offer options. I admit I’m a do guy and hate most of the colors Doo has so stuck with black as other options. But what I laughed about is with all Polaris colors you did opt for the all black, not that I have a problem with that it will look sharp just thought it funny. And on the Doo front you pay extra for pull start to be installed. And pulling over an 850 cold with rope around clutch is a bit*#. So all manufacturers have there issues. Oh ya and yes Doo makes you pay extra for led lights.
