love it! congrats on your new ride! are you getting it from Southside by any chance? ill be there today around noon and all day tomorrow

Call Southside Sales and service i North Adams mass. Ask for Ty in parts and he will get you all set up with parts and get them shipped right out. Unfortunately i do not have them off the top of my head

Hey! So no changes aside from colors between 23 and 24's so you have the latest and greatest even in a 23. Congrats on the new sled reach out anytime with questions!

I’m not following your question here I’m sorry. Want to help just need to know what you’re asking

What is the easiest way to measure the front track shock with the rubber hairs covering the spring? The front ski shocks go to 9.25 of preload per the manual then the treads run out and the collar gets hard to turn, is that normal?

Rubber cover*

video on sunday will go over thus BUT we do not measure full spring length. we talk preload from when the spring is just about free, you measure from top of collar to a fix location. So that would be ZERO preload. then depending on how much preload we want that number will INCREASE. So FTS we run 1/8-1/4 inch of preload. so from spring being (loose or free) then add 1/8-1/4 inch. Same with front ski springs. On an XCR we recommend running the collar down until you cannot go anymore. Thats what we consider max preload BUT if you were running a spring that we did not want max preload we measure the same way as i described the FTS oreload. I am unsure why polaris measure full spring length. It REALLY confuses people just like you are right now. I hope that helps

what tracks are on both sleds?

@@JESSEJAMES322 storm 150 on the vr1 and the cobra 1.6 on the xcr

so similar size tracks. seems odd they would feel close to the same. track tension is similar on both?

Here’s the footage of that race. We had 850,650 and 600CC!

Which one. There are two that we use at Bruce’s.

And the reason why the track lengths are 1" different, drivers, attack angle, speed

i do not believe either of those are a thingh unfortunately

me too. work crap came up that i had to tend too

I can absolutely help you. what type of riding do you do? all trail? flat trails or bumpy trails? just give me some insight on you and your riding and we can go from there!

@JESSEJAMES322 for starters the last time that I was on a sled was 18 years ago and sled have changed alot from that time. To answer your question I like fresh groomed trail and I like to ride in fresh powder and like like fast cornering trails.

How often would you say you’re off trail?

I like to play in the fresh powder and then get back onto the trails. Off the trails the right back on the trail. I hope that I have answered your questions.

Thank you for your help .what sled do you feel would fit my riding style ?

assault is coming next. we have done comparison of them before though!

did a video a few years back where we drag raced all of them. give my previous videos a watch and see what happens!

No changes from the 23-24’s! We have a ton of videos with a lot of info that will help you learn

@@JESSEJAMES322 Thx Jesse - as I mentioned, I am newish to the sport and will be purchasing my first sled (most likely) this season. For the past decade or so have been borrowing a family friends sled when I have been in town. I still have a 2023 XCR 128 being held on deposit for a few hundred bucks above msrp ($15,700 out the door with option of $1,300 5-year extended warranty). I just came across a sale on FB marketplace for a 2023 XC for $9,950 with 742 miles - I spoke with the seller on the phone and he is a very honest person with good seller reviews and upfront that the machine had an issue with a fouling plug last season and the piston has been replaced under warranty. It is priced to sell and the cost being $6,000 less got me thinking, being newish to the sport, or at least never owning my own sled, is spending another $6,000+ on an XCR warranted. Do you think an XC is a solid enough sled for someone with enough experience and comfortability riding, and with an interest of riding aggressive sometimes as a good first sled? Seems like the only real difference is the shocks - I'm about 185 without gear and am looking for a fun sled with great performance - will not be racing or trying to ump any roadways. This is a big purchase for me and want to make sure I'm making the right one. Thx in advance - much appreciated!

youre going to be pretty tapped out on top end here. best suggestion would be to get a clutch kit by Velocity Sled Performance. The sleds wont have enough power to gear up. they will not get into over drive and you will loose MPH

XHD but with going to an XHD we also recommend some shock valving to slow the rebound down

weve touched on that a little but can add that too the list. i dont believe theyh are any lighter
