It's microprocessors and snow. WHAT could go wrong?
ECU, LeftHand SmartWarmer Control, Power Boosting Regulator, Instrument Gauge. They have been working pretty well in the Matryx flatland sleds, I would say.
 
Suspension means nothing to the guy ringing it out on the lake speed racing for top speeds and it also means nothing if you're just a Sunday driver scenic rider.
But if your a trail rider that likes performance and enjoys a faster pace putting $$ into suspension in my opinion is money better spent than increasing HP.
Don't get me wrong... I like splurging on both but if I had to choose just one, I'd improve suspension and handling over adding ponies.
 
Actually I have. That’s my point. Available shock packages out now are great. In my opinion there is no reason to go further with them. The expense outweighs the benefit.
I agree the shock packages are now much better. When I build a regular VR1 and compare it to the new VR1 Dynamix, there is only an $1800 difference, but a couple of dealers are discounting the Dynamix model even further, which puts it at a $1400 difference. That smaller difference is worth it to me.

Some people would also say that SLED packages out now are great and there is no reason to go further with them because the expense outweighs the benefit.
I find that there's room for improvement Everywhere and these sleds are far from being as good as I'd like right out of the crate and suspension needs immediate attention.
It's all good. We all have different expectations.

I would love to see Polaris come out with a 4s offering comparable to the 900tr.Combine that with their DYNAMIX suspension , and better warranty,that would offer more choice

A lot of us are looking for a 4s turbo from Polaris hopefully there one more year away

that's why i doubt the promises. too many times hoping that maybe this time they gave us the shock valving they let spring riders try. only in 18 my xcr with the black high/lows was sufficient. when i got the 21 with the 2 inch shocks i thought it could only be better. it is now but out of the crate no. hard no. i crashed right through bottoming like nothing. i build 100s of shocks a year , not looking to run the clicker maxed to even come close to adequate. so once again i'm making my xcr ride like it should. the rest of the 21 is excellent.

I'm awaiting a 4-stroke turbo as well. Would be really interested in seeing how DYNAMIX would work on a 4S with the extra weight. Seems that with how it works, it would negate some (not all) of the "negatives" of the extra weight in regards to handling and ride. I have to think it would be a very stable, planted, comfortable ride. Might just be the cat's meow for these old bones. Hopefully will see one soon!

They just need to hold the price stable on in it over the next few years. On my 22XCR between IFS springs, FTS spring, torsion springs, valving on all 4, hygear linkage... probably spent that much🙄. And they just need to make it option for all models including the Assault... I'm sure they will.
 
So Levi is saying it dosen't wheelie. That would take some of the fun away.
Yeah I noticed that as I was watching that video. I'm surprised that they didn't include a mode to loosen up the rear skid, call it "powder mode" or something. That things going be a snowplow if you ever have to break trail in deeper powder, no way to pop the skis up without any way to stop that rear shock from trying to stiffen upon acceleration. Going to be fighting it the entire time while it tries to be a submarine.
@1fastpolaris something to mention the next time you have a call to the engineering group
