How a Matryx Boost is built 

I was just there today very little automation but very organized and people seem to know what they were doing

What is your manufacturing experience like? Generally automation is very difficult if the line isnt the same for years on end. With Polaris, they make sleds for a few months a year, not 24/7/365 for years on end.

@@tdiguru8461 Been in manufacturing for 32 years, just recently worked on robotic arm for a packaging line. Mind it, not in machining or in this assembly line, this was just my observation. I do like the manual work as I'm still old school at heart.

Well the first snowmobile that looks like modern ones but the first first motorized personal vehicle was built by a dentist who lived in Minneapolis in 1911

@@yeetthelizard4307 that’s not a snowmobile. The first snowmobile was built by Bombardier in Canada. Land of snow brother

@@longboardguy what I’m trying to say is the first snowmobile that resembles what we know today was built in Canada

@@yeetthelizard4307 sorry I didn’t understand. Well that is a cool fact I didn’t know. Thank you

First snowmobile built--- was in CANADA A . VALCOURT QUEBEC.

This is my new favorite quote

Well said

nailed it

My new favourite quote !

Winter ROCKS👌👌👌🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Lol reevaluate this comment after season is over 🤣

@@kwmiked Why?

Got the " miles apart" part right.. miles apart because you'll be left behind walking if you riding one.. and that's no joke.. buy a tow rope if you buy a poo

@@sethalos the Maytrx sleds with the Velocity shocks and that new headlight was a step backwards. We had 4 turds in our group last yr. The 3 doo guys who bought them after loving my Axys were deeply disappointed with their new sleds. 3 outa the 4 were sold. The 18yr old kid wasn't ready to part with his first new sled just yet

As a big gen 5 doo fan its the reason i think im going to snowcheck a rmk. I know someone worked for them and said the pay and benefits were pretty damn good for that area.

I think some stuff is outsourced but I’m not sure

I don't know about your buddies sled but I have 2 friends that have rmk's. One is an Indy and he uses it for ice fishing here in Colorado and no problems. This year will be 4 years of use. My other friend has a 800 rmk tuned for high Alpine riding and he rides his sled hard and he's had no issues.

@@DavidSmith-tu1nd one of my buddies has an edge X 700 which is actually overall a decent sled and he just bought a brand new rmk 850 so time will tell how that holds up. Another one of my buddies has a 14 rmk assault 800 that is on its 3rd engine with 1400 miles on the sled. The engine machinist turned up the oiling on it because he said that all of those sleds run lean on oil which I 100% believe. Yamaha’s are by far the most reliable sleds I have ever seen and any two stroke made by them smokes like crazy but the engines just plain last. I have had experience with many wedge chassis sleds and IQ chassis sleds. It seems like the only real reliable ones are the fan cooled ones (with the exception of the super sport, what a pos that sled was) and the smaller bore liquid twins. I have worked on so many polaris snowmobiles and ATV’s (especially sportsman’s) and I hate to say it but the build quality and reliability is just piss poor when compared to some of their competitors.

@@stevenvanheel3932 the Indy my friend has is a fan cooled engine now that I think about it. You're right about two strokes if run too lean you fire the engine. I own a Yamaha 2 Stroke sled but it does give me hope that America can make a good product again. Hope my buddies Indy keeps running good. We need snow here, it's the driest I've ever seen it in Colorado.

agree man. I think the worst for someone like me is the lack of info Polaris gave to people wanting to snow check. I was number 2 in line with my dealer to order a boost. They were told they would only get 1 boost allocation but Polaris told them it can change and they would let us know. Well guess what? Never got a real answer. So, I wasn't even able to snow check a non boost because of the deadline even though they told me I would know before the snow check deadline. I am glad I didn't sell my Cat because I would of be SOS.

Goodluck

The fusion was the start of the end of good quality for Polaris.. all down hill from there.. fucking all junk now

Yeah. Your only going to hear silence on this crank question. Unreal something like this even happens. Obviously seems like someone is still reinventing the wheel still.

@@fasterdura1772 Im gettin a new engine outta the deal and itll be ready by the end of the month, its just unreal tho. Like get yalls shit together.

I'm a polaris fan but ski doo keeps them on there toes for sure lol both great sleds but one is ugly asf

After This yr there will be alot of people who go back to doo, Maytrx was a disappointment for the trail sleds

Factory “dented” They all come just like that. Every model. Just the way it’s made

Ahhh.. A Cash Kitty stuck in the Litter again with comments..😂🤣

@@joshpitts7256 pump the brakes son. Too bad both of us will not be riding our 22s. I can imagine what else will be failing on the motor and chassis let alone seizing on first start up 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Since when? lolol I love all you yellow bleeders! ahahaha.. Yellow has the most darty twitchy front end in the biz, but THAT is 'ok'. I have had Polaris sleds since the 80's...i blew up ONE engine in 2003. (It also had 7800 miles)..we ride 4 to5K a winter...soooo....yeahhhhhh....

@@Crushin123 I also was a ski doo fan. Darty little bastards! Finally got my hands on a 17 polaris rush 800 and man oh man what a difference!

Sorry to say but there were production sleds before Bombardier sir. Continue digging let me know when you the two names that predates these guys

@@buckwrabbit9276 well we both agree that the skidoo did predate the Polaris right? In the video during the guided tour, the tour guide sais that they were visiting the place of the invention of the snowmobile which would not be accurate! That’s mostly what I ment.

“Started the sport of snowmobiling” What she meant, around here I’d assume what she meant was trail riding. As about the 1950s is when the sport took off and people started to work with landowners developing trails for people to ride. My dad was part of that era and shares a lot of stories of their trail riding from back then. I’m sure that’s what she meant by her quote. Either way all the sled manufacturers had some sort of piece in it!

Exactly! What bullshitters

@@ryangenge5970 You got that right!

Skidoo was the first to sell "official'' sleds but not really the first to create the thing that whe call a snowmobile

I've ridden Polaris my entire life and been riding since I was 5. It's nice to see that they have plants in America but I think the quality of Polaris has dropped over the past couple of years. It seems like every 2 years or so they have a new engine before they even fix all the bugs in the last one they made. Every time I turn around I hear about them having crank problems and piston problems and ecu's burning up. Now this year they said that some of the crank bearings were pressed in backward and some of the sleds at the dealer don't even have engines in them because of it and it's a huge recall. The quality control can't be that good if you miss something that important on a sled. All of my Polaris's have run great and I do still like them, but I think it's time to switch. I have finally made the choice to switch to Ski-Doo. I've always liked Ski-Doo and haven't heard many bad things about them. Anyway, just thought you would appreciate my little story since I'll be joining your team BRP fan :).

@@77knez Sorry to hear that Polaris quality control is being over looked. And this goes to all snowmobile manufactures that have been around for a long enough time to think they would have things figured out! Welcome to team BRP!! I know you will be very happy with a Ski-Doo sled!
