2020 Polaris Indy XCR 850 vs 2020 Ski Doo MXZ XRS 850 - All The Details! 

Great job explaining the feel of the front ends, handling, suspension and acceleration. Considering most of us never get to demo one, it's a huge help in the buying decision process.

I have an 18 XCR rush 800 and just bought an XRS renegade 850 ....... up here in NY we just got a huge storm and I spent a lot of time hopping from sled to sled on my local trails. Absolutely unbelievable rear suspension on the XRS... motor is obviously much stronger than the 800. The Skidoo makes the Polaris feel like a relic sitting side by side but the ultimate persuasion come s from the confidence that the XCR gives. Absolutely no comparison. Regardless of suspension setup.... the difference is huge. I love the SkiDoo .. its a work of art but thats now my wifes new sled.

I have never had an issue with the ski doo front end and turning, in fact I personally think it turns easy. On this video I disagree with JUST about every negative points you made about ski doo, other than maybe the GPS and the storage. The Gen4 chassis is absolutly the funnest sled I have ever ridden.

Great Review. I just got a Polaris XCR and am loving it. I ride with a lot of Ski Doo people too - and love there products as well. One thing not covered in your review that myself and my ski doo buddies agree on is the omission of a pull start by ski doo. You can add it if you want but at this price point it should be standard. We had two sleds both have electrical issues with there doos. While these things happen to any brand, Ski doo trying to improve profits by $160 dollars and omitt a pull start is just plain stupid. Even if my battery goes dead I can still start my sled. If my friends case its was a failed starter and a failed cellinoid on the other. They both got out a rope and after 20 minutes got them started - dangerously - by wrapping the rope around the clutch and pulling the cord. Then they have to put the safety shield back on while the sled is running. Why do this in a sled at this price point and level. For that reason alone I will stick with Polaris until Ski Doo wises up and makes the pull start standard equipment on every sled.

To answer your question, which sled, as is, out of the box do I prefer. I have owned nothing but Ski-doo, because they have what I was looking for built into the model years I currently own (3 sleds). That said, I would take the Polaris XCR over the XRS for several of the reason you had pointed out and some other reasons you did not point out. My list why Polaris: 1. Storage - I carry a small tool kit, mitts, thin gloves, oil, water, snacks, flash light. 2. Handle bar - I am 6'4" with my boots and I need a bar that can handle my height from both seating position and standing "without" trying to adjust on the fly. Trails always go from super smooth to bumpy kidney bruisers in a second. 3. Windscreen - riding at dark or day in 10 degrees and colder need I say more? 4. LED Headlights - I have them on my pick-up, my garden tractor, my boat & boat search light. When is the last time you changed a LED light bulb multiple times? 5. Steering- after 7-9 hours of riding, which I do periodically every season the heavy steering wears me out. 6. Ergonomics for seating position, it's more natural and I can move my legs and feet around better. 7. Ride comfort, though the Polaris is a pinch softer...is it after 7-9 hrs? That's called comfort. I am not a rider who stands for hours on end, the seat is there for a reason. 8. The dash & having the built in GPS. I have purchased the Garmin and added the micro SD drive with the built in trail maps for under $200. Ever price Ski-doo's Garmin and holder package....brace yourself for major sticker shock. Type of rider I am: Off trail 50% riding on trail pretty fast as conditions allow it. Age - 55 (ugh) height 6'3" no shoes. weight with gear 325-330 lbs. Riding area Pittsburg, NH - Rangeley-Jackman, ME Sleds own: 2014 Sk-doo Renegade Adrenaline 600eTec, 2012 Ski-doo GSX 800 eTec with 137 track length, 2001 Ski-doo MXZ 800 w/DPM stretched to 137", 1994 Polaris 500 DLX (restored to original 2017), 1987 Yamaha Phazer (Father/ Son project to stretch track length, upgrade suspension w/LED headlights) We are a family of 5 and we all ride together as much as possible. But, I do have that group of 8 guys who like to rip it up a few times a year getting stuck in the woods for hours. So I think that answers your question CJ plus a look at what type of riders follow your channel, thanks for an excellent review!!

Excellent video. I like that sticker package on the Polaris. Both sleds scream fine quality craftsmanship. They both perform at the highest level. People complain about the cost especially compared to 20 years ago and yes it is a large sum of money to spend on a toy. With that said the advancement in technology and the ability to enjoy the sport so much more is amazing. Everything has gone up in 20 years. I understand that not everyone can afford a sled like these two but even your base Polaris skidoo’s, cats or Yamahas are worth their weight in gold. These two just happen to be at the top of the two stroke spectrum. Keep up the great work

I would like to see polaris and ski doo riding side by side and see how both sleds react to the same situations. Yeah I've seen videos of them riding separately but never together. I think a video of them side by side doing random things like hitting bumps going threw fresh powder or just take off and hold them wide open on different snow conditions. Just an idea love the videos you and your father and brother make. I hope to be able to meet and maybe even ride with you guys.

What’s most important let’s face it is resale value. Where I’m from the ski doo commands much higher used prices. That is an important factor when deciding which machine to purchase. Cheers

Him: Speaks of how heavy the skidoo steering is. Also him: 24:50 Has front shock springs cranked almost all the way. 😂

I've only ever ridden Polaris, my family too. But that Ski Doo looks so damn good.

Why doesn’t skidoo offer LED headlights yet? For that money they should come standard like Polaris.

Both great machines , I went for my first ride yesterday on my 2020 mxz xrs 850 yesterday ... what a Machine , it’s a good time to be a sled head, so many options for your style of riding.

Thanks, AJ. Yet another great review. When I talked to you durning the Novi snow show I was waiting for my 2020 Indy XCR 850. You were right, it’s amazing!

Good review. Love the opinion piece. I agree, I was wondering why Ski Doo took away the brand stickers because when I was 13-14 out in the trails and saw an XRS I was so impressed by all the cool brands that were part of the sled

Great review of two awesome snowmobiles...well done. For many years I’ve thought the fit and finish and engine tech in the Ski Doo is top of the line, but the suspension on the Polaris and overall fun factor of the whole snowmobile package continues to make me prefer to ride Polaris. Thanks for the honest review and I chose XCR!

Having ridden skidoos for 25 years and moving to Polaris axys I'd say he is spot on. On everything.

Ski doo all the way

Polaris!! GPS trail maps,the cherry 🍒

2 best sleds on the snow tis year!

Great video AJ, would have been nice to hear how they each sounded. Would be interested in seeing a comparison between the XCR Switchback vs the XCR Indy.

Great video AJ!. I thought the legth of the video was fine because what i liked the most is the amount of detailed info you gave us about the sleds when comparing them and hearing your personal thoughts and opinions about each thing you covered. I do enjoy the analytical comparisons but I truley am interested in the real world findings, opinions and reviews you guys share with us because we dont get to ride all the latest and greatest back to back like you guys do so when purchasing a new sled those are the things we viewers are most interested in or at least I am. I also enjoy the walk around videos as well as seeing you guys shred so keep up the good work! One other thing, I would really like to see this style of video between the assault and backcountry xrs as well as a 137 Freeride! Those are the 3 sleds im intrrested in for next year, if nothing else would like to see you do the FR because i know youve talked about the other two a fair amout. Thanks, Cheers!

Nice review, AJ! I have a ‘19 Renegade 850 XRS with ice cobra 1.6”, so not exactly the same. I rode 3k+ miles last winter, mostly in the UP. Couple thoughts: motor/P drive is strong, linear, predictable - love it. Great traction on/off trail with Ice Cobra, but noisy, max speed around 100mph. I did not get adjustment package, as I set it and forget it. I could never see myself messing with the TS skis. Love the Pilot 5.7 skis - never ridden any ski I like better. I run 8” Center carbide, 4” outside. I love the heavy, precise feel of the Ski-Doo front end. It rails through the twisties and gives me great confidence. My friends on all other brands can’t keep up here. Don’t think it’s my skills, rather the confidence I get from front end-it goes where I direct it. I don’t have much interest in wheelies, but if that’s your thing, Renegade XRS will be frustrating. Don’t need Ski-Doo to add storage - I have Jerry can in position 1, semi hard bag in 2. That works great for trail riding - I’m never short on storage. I like the Poo gauge with GPS. I have glove box extension, but haven’t installed a GPS yet - can’t figure out what to buy. Love the (old) ‘19 Ski-Doo gauge, but miss the built-in compass from my ‘12 Renegade. I have adjustable bars, but always ride in 2nd position back. As you noted, I’d probably use height adjustment more. Both great sleds - I’d have fun with either! Thx!

any one I know who has sat on a skidoo or took one for a test ride was always surprised how a skidoo performs. but people are always in touch with what they know.

I agree 100% with Matt France... I would also rather have a clean sled without logo's on it and if I want logo's I'll buy stickers and put them on myself. SnowTrax has become so slighted toward Polaris products it not even funny anymore. I own both a Polaris and a Ski-Doo and both have pro's and con's, but when you listen to SnowTrax it is SOOOOO obvious they LOVE Polaris products. SnowTrax Ski-Doo negatives: Motor not as linear, Front end too heavy, TS Skis, Adjustable Handlebars, no "included" storage, no branding, gauge package, steering effort etc. SnowTax Polaris negatives: Easier to adjust suspension. Plus they promoted (defended) Polaris on their 850 engines that blew up, so much so they said "I would consider blowing up my engine to get free stuff from Polaris??? Also defended Polaris with now having an Ice Ripper track and clearly stating this is no longer an advantage for Ski-Doo, more underhanded negativity towards Ski-Doo... So, I took my 2018 Ski-Doo MXZ XRS 850 to Accelerated Technologies and everything stated in this video related to the Ski-Doo front end handling / suspension is totally incorrect according the the "suspension experts" at Accelerated. The issue with the Ski-Doo XRS is not the front end weight at all, the issue with the front end is it's too high and needs to be lowered. This was achieved by Accelerated tightening the limited strap by (3) holes which lowered the front end until the front A-Arms are parallel (level) with the ground. Once this was done, the XRS actually handles better than my Polaris. However, I agree "out of the box" the Polaris is a much better handling sled for sure! The gauge package is an obvious advantage for Polaris, this is a no-brainer... But for SnowTrax to defend the Polaris non-adjustable handle bars, this is absolutely ridiculous and for me makes is SOOO obvious that SnowTrax defends and favors Polaris products vs. Ski-Doo. I have NEVER met anyone who didn't like or prefer the Ski-Doo adjustable handle bars vs. any brand non-adjustable bars except for SnowTrax... For me, I have been seeing this reoccurring pattern now for the last 2-3yrs and I am now done with watching SnowTrax. I watch these shows (SnowTrax, Snowmobile TV) so I can learn and get credible knowledge on what is a better product. But SnowTrax shows way too much favoritism towards the Polaris brand and therefore I no longer trust or feel I can count on their weighted reviews and opinions. PS - I love Polaris products, I am a neutral fan... It's just become "embarrassingly" obvious SnowTrax is "in bed" and favors Polaris products. And also, I am not the only one that share this opinion... Signed, A true snowmobile enthusiast / fan...

I’d like to see AJ do a review of the Renegade or Renegade X. I know they’re basically just considered trail sleds now and on trail crossovers are normal to be 144+, but I’d be interested to see what he had to say about using basically the original 137 crossover sled as a crossover now in light of all longer tracks, instead of only seeing the ReneXRS and it being reviewed in the trial review format by Mark!

That gauge package def sets the Polaris apart. Plus the storage. I’ve been a skidoo guy my whole life.

I liked your video very much, both Sleds are awesome! I keep wanting and waiting for you to walk around to the other side and let us look at them from a different angle. I would love to be able to snow check a new sled! Currently we have a '12 ASSAULT 144" for me and a ' 13 PRO R 137" for my wife. Never have rode anything newer. NOTE: I had the top end rebuilt on my ASSAULT at 4K miles and put the Wisco piston upgrade kit in it. Mechanic said the engine was in great shape with normal wear! I also just pulled the skid and had the shocks rebuilt. Maybe someday I will be buying a new sled but even then I would wait for a new "left over" model. It's just too much money to snow check ✔ keep up the good work! 👍👏

Another Pro Polaris video.

So...Polaris all around, but with the Ski-Doo fit and finish. Also agree with seeing all of the labeling and such, that's one of the reasons I also ride supersport bikes...all that cool tech.

I love my Arctic Cats, but I can definitely see a quality difference between these two and my sled. Granted the price difference is significant also.

Two things to know: when turbochargers were first used on over-the-road trucks for the mountains, they were referred to as "altitude compensators"! And, I'm SURE all the turbo model sleds will be gobbled up, no matter what price! REALLY NICE review, sir!

One thing I never see with these bloated walk around (going over same points 3 or more times) is simple things like maintenance. Such as how difficult is it to adjust clutches and set belt deflection? As an owner of 3 Doo and a Viper currently and over 20 sleds lifetime, it is so much simpler to adjust a TRS clutch for temp or altitude changes to keep the engine in the sweet spot as well as belt deflection on the QRS secondary for belt life. It is these things(pioneering technologies like RER, Etec,SHOT, Rave valves) built into the sled that keeps me on Doo. GPS gauge is cool if you are have groomed trails to grandpa around on everyday. Got the rocky mountains here with vastly different conditions not only daily but hourly many times. Big shout out to Indy Mark Lester.....Great to see him still railing around. (50 plus club myself here)

Totally disagree about the branding. I'll rep their logo if they give me a discount for advertising for them. Would rather have a clean sled with only stickers that I put on there.

If you want lighter, less positive steering on the skidoo, lengthen the limiter strap one hole. Simple, it will then be lighter, less assured, more slippery.

Maintenance never gets talked about on these reviews. Having had both doo and Polaris it seems Polaris helps the customer out in the owners manuals more they give you torque specs and just makes it feel easier for the customer. Ski doo always puts see dealer. This is a big deal for people switching simple things such as clutch weights or chain case fluid. Some people like working on and maintenancing their sleds themselves. As for me it was a huge deal when I switched brands Polaris makes things less complicated under the hood for people who want to do maintenance and accessorize their sleds themselves and not have to bring it to the dealer for everything.

Polaris FRONT ski do rear. Lynx engine. Black & grey red highlights 1000 cc TURBO

The Polaris has yes a lighter front end and a built in GPS, but I would prefer to have better fit and finish in the Doo with a higher tech motor than the Polaris. Just my .02

Skidoo all the way

What I took from this video is as follows: 1. Cat gives the Lester's absolutely zero. Otherwise a sled would be shown. While they might not get money as in actual cash. However, they can't deny that they are going to butter up to the ones that gives the "gift" to them. 2. Can you afford sleds or not (customers). You don't and should not get a bag on a XRS. It is a Race replica sled. That is what makes them what it is. Sure guys want them. However, buy a different sled. Those don't need an XRS. Never see those bag guys ripping. Sno x like shocks, but only run groommed trail. go figure. 3. that suspension bolt placement isn't a good guide to weight placement. bolt has everything to do with rear skid, not the front ski weight. last... to the lesters. do you like chasing clickers on polaris walker evans every 2 degree temp change on the polaris? worst shocks in the biz period. I don't pay to advertise all the brands. i'm not some early 2k era racer. that time past. thanks skidoo for not being so into yourself.

I've always had skidoo and I'm in the process of considering to buy new. And might be leaning toward polaris. Already rode a G4 mxzx 600 etec and it's a solid machine. As far as the back and forth adjustability goes it's great for double riding. I can sit all the way forward with a passenger on the back and the all the way forward position handles that seat positioning well and is actually fairly comfortable. I can say the same about all the way back for when you're riding with a kid in front of you it gives you that extra little bit to give a comfortable ride. As far as deciding what brand I'll go with I still have no idea lol.

What I've learned on skidoo sleds since the first gen 4 came out, they love adding one feature at a time per season. It keeps them selling sleds. My advice to anyone buying a skidoo. If there is something missing on the sled now? They will have it. Be patient and wait because you buy that sled that you can't wait for, it will have it next time. Bought my bcx and the very next year they made the same sled with an xrs and had front piggyback shocks. Huge let down

Gotta love AJ's walk arounds....go something like this....."blah blah blah blah, cough...sniff...blah blah blah, cough...sniff...repeat.

I prefer the polaris. that sled is amazing, i think the shock package is like pretty much top of the line, it rises smooth and you can zip. i’ve never really rode too much of skidoo, but i am a biast polaris rider haha

when i was 12 i loved stickers so everyone knew i had whatever part or used whatever oil...but now that i am an adult i would rather the sled be clean and classy...

I trail ride in NY and have tried a new xrs with a 600 and I own a 600 xcr so I can't comment on the 850. But chassis and suspension wise, I totally understand the appeal of the skidoo. It seems more plush and it always feels smoother to me. The Polaris isn't as comfortable but "talks to me" more. Totally rider preference though. Both are awesome. Good time to be a snowmobiler. Great video. Keep it up guys!!!

I’m 300 miles into my 2020 XCR Indy, I am not sold on this rear end. My 18 XCR had a much nicer rear end. I will continue you adjust but I’m wishing I had stuck with the XCR SB. (With the 850 of course).

No doubt i would take the xcr. For now my old school 05 700 xc sp and my 80 txl will doo.

Ski-Doo ALL THE WAY!

I like the Indy bc I love Polaris

I am new to sleds. And have an older skidoo. But I like the Polaris trunk! 😁😁😁 I see plenty of beer storage! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Cant go wrong with either, but IMO the SkiDoo just looks so much better... the G4 XRS body work reminds me of a snowmobile version of a hot rod! Awesome...

That Ski-Doo just looks badass.

I’m split. I love both brands for different reasons. Lol. Skidoo’s are better technology in the engine and clutches. Skidoo’s have better fit and finish and rear suspension. Polaris has the best front end period. I know because I have one. I love that gauge package and the bag you get with the Polaris. I’m hoping to get a test ride on both this year and snow check one or the other in the spring. Definitely going 137 inch skid. I’ll never go back to a shorter skid again. I’m also interested in the two crossover units in 144 and 146. Great content guys. Keep it coming.

Looking forward to 2023 sled comparison.

Both great sleds and they both have their pluses and minuses. I love the fit and finish of the doo but the Polaris is a nice riding machine - both are great looking sleds. One thing I hate, my buddy has the 2018 Renegade and there is no pull start. I hope his battery or starter never die. It seems stupid to me they wouldn’t put a pull start on just in case. I would hate to be 60 miles away from civilization and I can’t start the machine.

Great review AJ, been on Doo for a bit now but would love to try the new Polaris with the conventional rear skid. I agree with the front end being heavy feeling but its a love/hate for me, I'd take the gauge from the Polaris, maybe the front end as well, but its tough to beat all the Linq accessories and I'll keep my KYB's!

I've been on the fence about a brand switch. I already have all ski doo gear. I think this video was enough to go for the Polaris. Plus I live in Minnesota, the home of Polaris. I probably needed new gear anyhow. Nice review

i have rode both and both are incredable sleds your gonna be happy with either one ride what you want and be safe. great video thank you

The Riot X had the telescopic handlebar that he mentioned. Great review as always! Can't wait for the Riot and Riot X review! Finally rode my Riot a few weeks ago and it is awesome!

2020 mxz XRS 850 all the way

Just bought a sled today. Came down to an all black Polaris XCR and black SkiDoo MXZ TNT. Same year, same price, different sleds. IMO, the MXZ was stripped down with cheap components and the most basic shocks I've seen since a mid 2000s sled. Granted it was a TNT not an XRS. However, since the Polaris XCR was the same price as the TNT, it was an easy choice. Honesty would have bought the XRS if it wasn't around $3000 more than the XCR.

For high speed trail riding when you need pin point steering, Polaris XCR all the way, the just hold the line in a turn, phenomenal!!

I’ll take the ski doo anyday

I think a bunch of stickers placed on the hood by Polaris cheapens it up. I like a clean less is more look. That being said, branding on the actual part is what I prefer.

good hard to be unbiased overview of the stock package - we know ya love the Polaris, and well I like Skidoo at the moment, no harm no foul... I think another way of viewing the lack of sponsorship all over the sled is that Doo has done that before, so a change of marketing, and allowing the style of the machine and clean lines speak itself; allowing the owner to customize themselves. The accessories / aftermarket (especially ski-doo branded) is such a huge $$ market (driven by customer want/demand) so I think from a business and customer satisfaction point of view, I don't find harm in their approach - customer gets to customize because they want to personalize (win) and Skidoo gets to sell them more, most likely doo branded, accessories. (win) - they do have some really cool products, and any of them are well known brands. I agree that Polaris has a better stock feature gauge, however, I'll take a little lack of feature and quickness with the option to add a fully functional LARGE screen GPS that's portable between toys vs. a laggy, small display. Rider position: quick adjust fore=aft (position) and riser should be standard on both sleds in this price point. -- stock bar height comparison ** height of the bars can't be your gauge, you need to compare while standing on sled, in riding position ---> Riding position comment; position of the rider relative to brake ** you need to consider sleds center of mass fore-aft + up-down, also what's best for each scenario , ass and feet tucked up in a corner, or in ramp-attack position a little farther back?...the more footwell forward space gives you options. ~I think all sleds should come with an optional 1.75" paddle from the factory...!!! having to swap a track every new sled is a pita.

Still no perfect choices among these sleds. Polaris has a better handling front end and now with a comparable rear end ride the Polaris just handles all conditions better, top it off with the best gauge in the industry it is hard not to like what Polaris is selling. On the other hand the SKI DOO just looks mean and has an industry leading fit and finish along with being the simplest rear adjustment system offered, making it hard not to choose the SKI DOO. All summed up I have been on Polaris for years but if I were picking between these two sleds I have to go with SKI DOO simply because it looks so damn good.

I've been a skidoo guy since i was a kid, but that ride command from Polaris is definitely a game changer for riders that are in unfamiliar territory. And i tried out last winter riding and was amazed at the performance

I agree 100% on the steering, my 900 Turbo is brutally hard to steer when turning going slow.

Polaris GPS isn't worth much in Canada as trackmaps doesn't work with them. Also needs to tether its key. Ski doo needs to make its motor more accessible. You can have the hood off the Polaris in seconds. Ski doo has 8 screws and would be a true pita on trail side.

ski doo xrs is best

I just got a new to me Skidoo after riding a Polaris for 20 years. I could do without all the stickers on the Polaris. Unless it comes with a cheque every month. I've never been a fan on promoting something that you paid for. Car/truck/dealerships advertising is the first thing to come off my truck when I buy one. Couldn't imagine having stickers for everything. Dealer should give the consumer the choice, I'd stick the on the toolbox in the garage. I like the looks of both overall but as soon as you started talking steering and handling I was sold on the Polaris. I like the storage as well.

If Polaris had the overall quality, fit and finish of the Doo, I don’t think there’d be anything that could compare. Just let Skidoo build the Polaris sleds and we’d all be happy, right? Both brands have many pros and cons but for the price of these things, quality is the most important to me.

I agree that if your buying a race inspired xrs skidoo could bring back the race sled graphics with the brand names, XPs, kyb, vforce etc, when you say throw this plastic in the garbage and give us storage the battery is right under that plastic so could be a different way to look at it as it makes the battery more accessible however storage is important.

MXZ🤤

Skidoo for life

I know you guys are sponsored by Woody's but some Bergstrom Triple points as the centre runner and just a wear bar on the outside of the Pilot 5.7's makes a world of difference. In my experience lowering the XRS in the front really changes the handling of the Ski - Doo, probably still not Polaris good but flat thru the corners.

I own Arctic Cat Sleds and Polaris 4 wheelers, but you have to give credit to BRP on their "fit and finish", it is second to none! I know Poo and Cat have been getting better, but still a step behind. With that being said, I still think Cat and Poo's design are better. I thought the XS chassis looked better than this current G4, IMO. As always keep up the good work and thanks for the Snowmobile content(love these walk arounds), they seem more authentic :-)

I'll Take the popo sled with the rear off the ski- doo that GPS and windshield r a must there freaking sweet sleds tho

Well this is a video I want to watch

Very very well said AJ. My thoughts exactly.

Great Video thanks for the info! Looking forward to be riding one next year!

Really enjoy the Vids, thank you for the content! Never been a fan of Polaris, but that is a damn nice looking sled!👍still don't think I would own one, but I thank you for all the information, now if I could find a good Arctic cat to compare 😜 thanks for your time showing the different sleds!

Xcr 850 I like more 😍😍😍

Thanks for all the excellent comments everyone, sorry I can't personally respond to all of them. I had a few minutes today to check this stuff out, loving the good, bad and ugly comments lol. We have thick skin, and we know everyones entitled to their own opinions. Some great stuff in here though, really enjoy reading the comments from folks who put together their ultimate sled from pieces of each one. I do that too, pick the skid from this, the front end from that, the engine from another. Wish we could actually build a sled that way, maybe a future project but I know it's not that easy :-) Again thanks for watching our stuff everyone, we appreciate it even if you don't agree. Thats what makes the world go round! ~AJ

Both sleds look fantastic.

I love how you push the Polaris company so hard and yet ski doo had been the #1 selling brand for 20 years invented the sport and the rider forward buying public has told you which is the best company out there

Great job on this video AJ. I absolutely concur 100% with you regarding Brand Names Logos and stickers on a sled etc. Heck I even have them installed on the outside and inside of my snowmobile enclosed trailer. It’s a guy thing and it doesn’t matter what brand of sled you are riding but in these two sleds comparison, Polaris did a great job at it isn’t? It’s cool to see that stuff for sure IMO.

good review I solved the heavy steering on my doo with snow trackers

I think the Skidoo puts far more rider weight on the skis than the Polaris. The Polaris positions the rider closer to the center shock/limiter strap location for better cornering. The Skidoo has more of that weight biased on the skis which is likely the cause for the Skidoo to have heavy steering and less predictable turn-in. Both sleds have amazing rear skids. As far as shocks go, the KYB has rebound control the Polaris does not. I'd take a rebound adjustment any day over dual speed compression.

Another great video !!

Polaris is by far best sled on the market today!!

The front end of the ski doo looks more aggressive. At this point looks are about all that matter because every sled manufactured is awesome now a days

Good fast review ! Thanks !

Best video ever!! Thanks for the information..

How about something on the Cat RXC? it's got a completely different setup than the RR...different skid, seat, clutch setup, driveline, suspension calibration, etc.

SnowTrax TV Great review. Could you do a video on - Horsepower of the sleds and Drag race see who the top dogs are.

Biased review as usual! We all know Skidoo is top of the line. Don’t know how many pullass Polaris sleds I have pulled with my doo and my friends who switched to skidoo because their Polaris sleds were junk! Skidoo has also the best suspension on the market.

Ski doo looks good 👍

xrs is a race sled. not a trail sled so idk why you want all the storage

GREAT REVIEW. LOVE THE OPINION! keep posting.
