This video is just for fun and to show everyone who didn’t get a chance to go to the sneak peeks. It is not sponsored or paid for in any way by Polaris. It’s just my dad and I reviewing something we got a chance to test drive. I’m just an amateur filmmaker practicing and sharing with you guys for fun.

The 850 that I have is the smoothest running engine available in a sled right now. This 650 will be smoother than electric.

Lenn, thank you for the passion you bring to the sport! I appreciate your humbleness and straight forward approach. I am a Skidoo rider and have never owned a Polaris snowmobile, but the VR1 is very appealing. I hear the Liberty 850 is smoother than the Doo 850. Can you comment on how the 650 compares to the 850? The sled weight is listed the same for both engines, is that true? There seems to be approximately 30 hp difference between them, so what is a determining factor for choosing one over the other?
@lennstang
@lennstang 4 года назад
Thanks Kevin. Yes, the Liberty 850 is much smoother than Doo's 850. My brother has the 850 Doo and the engine vibrations are very noticeable compared to the Patriot. The 650 Patriot uses the same crank design and engine architecture as the 850...which is why the are both very close in weight. The 650 is very smooth, surprisingly smooth! Power delivery is more like an 800, it comes on quick and has great low and mid range power without being peaky. Choosing between the 2 engines is a personal choice. If you like to run lakes and big trails, the 850 is the choice. But run trails/tight trails, you might like the 650 better. :)

First I would like to thank you for the good job done on the video. I am been watching several videos on the new 7S display and only wished that Polaris would explain the gauge more in the monitoring mode instead of map mode because the map mode has been programmed into my brain for the last 40 years of riding. I am also confused why the XCR did not get put not the Matryx platform if it corners better than the 2020 Axys, I like knowing that my current XCR can take the abuse and also like the hi/lo adjustment on the shocks which I don't see on the Matryx. It also seems that every year that Polaris comes out with something new and improved, the same group of riders get to test ride it first and tell us how great it is. The one thing that has not been answered in any forums, videos or ad's is, how hot does this sled run. Every sled that I have brought seems to always run hot unless you are pounding it and spinning the track in every corner. My riding style, I try to enter and exit the corners smoothly and keep my momentum. Watching the video and having scratchers mounted may have answered my question, runs hot unless you are riding fast and pounding out the trail. i have been riding Polaris sled since 1992 and the old Indy's ran good on hard pack without overheating, but the Edge, IQ ProR have all ran hot my 2017 XCR runs cool most of the time unless the snow conditions are really poor so I am kind of concerned about going back to a full tunnel from Polaris. Not sure why my friends that ride Ski-Doo never seem to run hot? I think that it would be better if Polaris would have different riders test out the new products instead of the same handful every year.
@lennstang
@lennstang 4 года назад
Polaris rolls out new chassis sled in limited quantities for the the 1st production year. This is why they didn't have the XCR available in the Matryx chassis. Heard this a lot at the 2 sneak peaks we attended. But the new VR1 is basically an XCR without the Hi/low shocks.

Relocated thermostat from head to Coolant Expansion bottle . less vibration and more durability, also integrated coolant bypass flow. . self-bleeding coolant system (thru hose from head to deice throttle body). . Thermostat opens at 100F . The metal tunnel protector plate is located under the tunnel exchanger. It will allow more snow and cooling to get to the heat exchanger. . I am sure that the cooling system on these flat tunnel sleds will work just fine when riding the Waukesha County trails.

The improved performance of the Patriot 650 is a great improvement over a well proven 600 Cleanfire. The 850 Patriot has very little vibration, and the new addition to the family, continues that. Another major improvement is the larger 7S GPS and gauge package with the latest technology, including group ride capability with or without cellular connection (builtin radio transceiver), very flexible gauge displays and in memory info on pitstops, hotel, and service information. It was good to hear the riders viewpoint on the Velocity 2.0 WER shocks. At night, the new NightShark 6 projector LED lights will really shine!

You clearly have not been watching or riding Polaris based on this comment. All respected riders said the 2020 versions of SkiDoo and Polaris were a toss up in regard who the overall snowmobile leader is. With these changes by Polaris my guess is that Polaris will be #1 for 2021. AC is dead. Yamaha is the only other contender IMO.

Mainly because A/C has no dog in the fight any longer, which sucks because we consumers NEED the mixed market. The pro cross/climb chassis is long in the tooth, and quite frankly used up. They are years behind doo, and polaris. Cat may not make it through this, especially after brp won the lawsuit.

Lenn looks like you guys are struggling pretty hard to get Pete to talk? He doesn’t even know what Ski-Doo he owns or is riding? He could have saved himself by providing at least one actual comparison between the VR1 and the XRS chassis but as in the other interviews. Not a single direct comparison. He does however build a little credibility by bashing his XC Axys by being honest about how much ski lift it actually has in the corners. This after every single review written of the Axys saying how the front end is a complete game changer, stays completely flat and absolutely rails corners. Now we have the Matryx which completely changes the game again and from the reviews somehow manages to be even flatter than the flattest chassis on snow...... I know I am being critical and a bit harsh but these guys keep promoting Poo's new stuff the same way each and every time and wonder how they can keep doing it with a straight face......

I cant use any of there advice on suspension set ups cause it doesn't really work expect for flat plush trails
