2019 Polaris Axys 850 Patriot - Detailed 

Derrick Neikam I appreciate that Derrick! Trying my best to provide good quality content and unbiased point of view wherever I can! I will be going with straight line performance full pipe can and clutching once they release theirs 🤘🏼 ordering an all black 163 to act as background for the wrap.

Colin McEvoy look forward to seeing your build.

#alpinemotorsportsinc instead

Will Polaris honor a 4 year warrant if you place a SLP pipe on it?

+JUST RIDE IDAHO thank you!! I appreciate the feedback! Can’t wait to get on one next season!! 🤘🏼

hope so too! its been great so far!

are you riding?!

did you get yours?!

@@ColinMcEvoy finally got my sled but no snow, I guess I'm going to have to travel

hey its an 850 though!

shoot, you dont need a turbo haha

+Nick Doucette nice!! My 17 was an assault 3”, I wish the new assault came with the 850 in the rmk 163 platform but I’m excited to try out belt drive and the 2.6.

Colin McEvoy It's a big change for me (coming from a 09 600 IQ) and much of my riding is on trail but their are spots to do a little off trail riding. I went with 1.63" paddle for the trails.

yea thats definitely going to be a huge change haha. that setup should do perfect for what you're going to be riding though!

definitely agreed!

honestly all 3 brands are so good these days it pretty much comes down to your own personal preference. they all do very well in deep pow, their all so close. I really want to try the alpha though!

give it until at least 10 hours. itll open up. or just put the throttle to the bars! haha

Chad Lee that’s gonna look sweet! Black on red 👌🏼

Mud Chucker nice!! Going to almost be twinning! Haha

Ya lol,.. I'm partial to black because it's less intrusive when deciding on a wrap and IMO it can define the lines more. Now the waiting game,.. thanks for the videos.

ArcitcFX Graphics!

nice! they havent had any test rides available in our area but i snowchecked one anyway haha

You will not be disappointed, it is soo much fun and has alot more power!

Marklunds Production I like to hear that! Next season can’t come soon enough!

I cannot wait for next season and for your build :)

me neither! its going to be good! and of course will be on video!

covered that in my most recent video actually, haha. check it out!

nice! are you riding?!

it'll be interesting! so far Im loving my 163 2.6, the 850 just makes it that much more fun

It's only the fifth year for the Axys chassis. The Rush only refers to the latter half of the Rush and Switchback models. One does not need to change simply because all the cool kids are doing it. The biggest reason for the Ski-Doo changes are to keep up with the Polaris chassis improvements. The Axys is still the best chassis on the market and they just keep improving it. Trust me. They're developing the next gen right now. Guaranteed to be an updated version of the Axys. Just like the Axys was an update of the Pro XC (Rush). Very similar but different enough to feel like a different animal.

@@soko1450 same hood same headlights. Sled looks exactly the same as it did d in 2010. I understand that made improvements to the slide but that's like taking fenders off of Ford F-150

Plus the rush chassis was a direct answer to the Rev which was built in 2003

I'm sure Ski-Doo could have lightened the original REV chassis if they have kept using it for 15 years

@@KliqDon1983 Sorry. The 2010-14 and 2015-19 share almost zero parts. Only about 10% (chassis and body). The hoods and headlights are absolutely nothing alike and are not interchangeable in any way. The only parts they share are some fasteners. Trust me. My buddy has a '13 and I have a '17. Parked side by side they look nothing alike. I don't think you've kept up to date on the specs of these models. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-03CdzgV8tpI.html The Axys chassis is only five years old.I can't use any parts from the previous years

what performance products are you refering to? polaris has never made anything like that that i'm aware of?

Colin McEvoy I was told at Haydays from a Polaris rep that they made a partnership with straight line performance offering lighter y-pipes, and other things that you could swap out without warranty issues. This was on last gen sleds from what I was told.

that may be the case then, you may have to talk to straight line to confirm though.

Colin McEvoy yeah, I'll pick my sales managers brain about it as well on Saturday when I snow check. I know it doesn't really apply to a Turbo guy like yourself. I gotta question, do you know if the SKS has the same frontend parts wise as the RMK? I know the RMK is a few inches narrower. I have to ride trails quite a bit to get to the good stuff and could use the extra cooler on the bulkhead.

unholy rollerz I’m not really sure, haven’t found that info really. I took turbo off the sled after last season though. Ran just a can this season

i mean you dont have to watch the video if you dont like polaris... but then again I appreciate the support through your activity on the video forcing the algorithm to show my video to more people and boost my ad revenue! have a great day!

Cory Root Correct. The AC 800 CTec (152 HP) is an underpowered 800cc engine compared to the Polaris 800 HO. Dynos on the 800 HO have ranged from 155 to 158 HP. Because of the better clutching and less weight, there are a bunch of RU-vid videos of Polaris 800 HO's hanging with and even slightly beating Doo 850's. The new Polaris "850" is technically an 840cc, so even more proof it wasn't a "copy" of Doos 850. When compared to the Polaris 800 HO, the 850 Patriot sleds are about 12 pounds heavier.

8 stroke

mathew o'neil that was my old roommates sled!

who

Doug E 🤔🤔🤔

We're taught that in technical training. An engine is fuel driven and a motor is electric.

Bunch of lies, motor is fuel driven in Swedish! :P

@@SuperHurtman maybe in Sweden, but not here. People that are trained technicians here, such as myself, are taught what a motor is and what an engine is.
