2019 Polaris 600 INDY XC 129 Walk Around & First Impressions 

I like the ol dad to do more reviews Great job of explaining the sled and giving a down to earth opinion

Snowtrax, you guys do absolute grade A+ reviews. It’s even cooler that it’s a family gig and you can all communicate on a familiar level to convey the most relevant and intuitive information about today’s machines. Keep up the excellent work!👍

I really appreciate the effort to explain the technology on the skid ... coupling, torque arm, torsion adjustments etc... This is very useful information. I know you probably have explained it 1000's of times over the different video's but there are always new viewers. Keep up the good work.

Hey Dad that's got to be one of the best reviews you've had. Glad to see we're getting back to some Polaris news other than the 850. Glad to hear that you didn't say Paradigm of this time. I did.

Good to see pops doing these reviews! I've been out twice here in NS already as well. Hope it's a sign of good things to come this winter.

Great explanation of how the skid works! I've heard alot of good things about the polaris ride and handling qualities! Be cool to try one out someday!

Love these First Impressions and Walk Arounds you guys do on SnowTrax and DirtTrax...keep up the good work everyone!!!

Hey Mark! Great to see you!! Wish you weren't so busy, some of us old-timers miss ya! ;) Hope life is good with you; you make life with us 'good'. :)

Love the Indy. My first sled, and I'll never forget it, was the 1989 Polaris Indy Sport

Thanks, Mark - great review

I have a 16 600 sp and I love it. It’s a rocket and reliable.

You guys are awesome... Much respect to your pop...

Very informative review, thank you!

Thanks for the info Mark.

Motorhead Mark throwing it all the way back to 1989 when the key was where your knee goes!!

The Full AXYS 137 can add a cargo rack and saddle bags for touring. Also you can get a heavier duty rear coil and with its ability to fine tune, really nail the setup for big riders or cargo weight.

really hope you do a video of this and mxz 600

I wish they had a better bag and GPS solution. At least now you can mount LINQ stuff to the back but the Garmin GPS for the Northeast and Quebec with maps from GPSTrailmasters is awesome. Looking forward to seeing how people like the Indy XC this year. I'm ordering something for 2020 but GPS and Storage options are keeping me in the Skidoo camp.

Im all skidoo but the blacked out xc's look slick

MY Good Points is- Helix angel 48/42.36 to beater suite Flat land Riding(0-3000 ft elevation). 52 36 f would have been better... True Cross Country riding conditions Sled. . Lower helix angles should help belt life and pull better past 40 mph. Gearing chart says 22-39 hopefully we'll seen better top end speed and midrange. Gas mileage Hopefully getting better with the rpm's down while cruising in Canada. The front Torque arm and front track angle should allow better float and climbing up on top of snow then trenching. I always had to move the front torque arm up half an inch to get better track angel and moved the rear lower arm back one hole on years gone by skids. way better ride for sure!! Love the SEAT!!! Just narrow enough in the front and wide enough in the back for different size riders. . LOVE the Trunk storage!! FINALLY! Love the use of the tools to hold the hood panels on. BAD points- Still wish the hood had a hinge to lift open the hood. Wish it came with a mid height windshield, wish it came with graphite slides for low lube snow or icy trail conditions. Wish the dash still had two dual gauges (tach n speedo) loose the techy stuff and make it simpler to use. on the fly i want to see all info big and easy to read. like my truck or old cars. The dash gauge looks cheap like Chinese made. Analog will always look best. Wish it was easier to work on as a garage guy under the engine.

Beautiful sled! Need to hit the lottery now! Lol until i do, my 06 fusion 600ho will have to do!!! Lmao

Good walk around, wish the sound was better. Fades in and out....

Please do the srx sidewinder

Looks like a skidoo xp from the bars back looks a lot like skidoo to me, I been riding that same tech since 09

Polaris best Chassis Skidoo best two stroke Motor .. Yamaha Sidewinder king of the Lakes and RR beds

What happened to the Rush style suspension? The one that had an outboard shock above the regular rear suspension? I thought that was going to be the standard..

Now all I need is my wife's approval!

I’m confused, in one statement you say it’s the best riding Polaris ever. Then you say if you are bashing bumps and hitting 70’ jumps you’d be better off on the Rush pro-XC skid. Here’s the thing, after 9 years of production Polaris still doesn’t race the Rush pro-XC sled in sno-x which features the exact conditions you say the pro-XC is better at. So, if the pro-XC is so good why’d they come out with the pro-cc and why do they continue to race the 15 year old IQR in sno-x? The IQR uses a conventional skidframe very, very similar to the pro-XC.

Polaris should offer a 4 year warranty with this ol 600 mill like they do with the 850. I'd spring order one in a heartbeat over a skidoo just for the warranty.

when the episodes coming!??

I know it’s how the industry works, but I can’t help noticing that Polaris doesn’t seem to have many original ideas recently. They took the 850 idea from skidoo to compete with the skidoo 850. They took the basic workings of rmotion rear suspension, edited it slightly, and threw it into their rear suspension. Skidoo puts the cooling in the tunnel, and a year later Polaris puts cooling in their tunnel. I’m guessing some sort of Polaris linQ isn’t that far away, and a 900 turbo Polaris will be produced soon. The only thing I can see this sled doing that an MXZ doesn’t do is having much nicer electronic gauges. Just my perspective as a skidoo guy, I’m sure this is still a great snowmobile.

Now if my 850 xc ever shows up. My XC been sitting on a trailer at the factory now for over a week. I'm getting pissed at Polaris. Even my dealer getting upset.

rush xcr 850 please!

Dont start telling people and manufacturers we dont need adjustability in the shocks! Remember what ski doo did a few yrs back!! Yeah reason I went with Polaris. Cause Polaris floor model shocks were better then X shocks at one time

I'm a cat guy, and I have to say that doesn't look bad. Not sure what ski-doo is smoking though...

9000 turbo all the way

There's no real iron on one.

Skidoo

Calls it a " piece of iron " More like a wad of aluminum and plastic.

lol not much sense mentioning they put seat on gas tank..doo invented that 17 years ago..lmfao
