Polaris might have done it right

20"x155"X1.8 track with high low range and can tow 1200# I bet there's a lot of these sold

For what kind of use?

And for, I would hope its right!

STARTING AT

$13,999

plus freight & set-up

US MSRP

I think it will appeal to the guy that wants to icefish (tows 1200# has hi/low range) and still ride a little trail or off trail that's just MSRP only thing you pay that on is Woman and Booze !

I have always gone with a Fan cooled motor for early and late season ice fishing because of the lack of snow for cooling Liq, motors. With a radiator with fan this may do well for ice fishing. One of the issues with Fan motors so far is they have not made any real large cc size motors in them. This could be the ticket for that for pulling larger houses or one of the Ski Doo 4 cycles.

Glad to see Polaris getting with the times and giving us more utility sled options.  Skidoo has been making basically the exact same thing for over 7 years already.  Including a radiator.

Arctic Cat has been making the BearCat for a while now as well and have upped their motor options on it with a 1000 4 stroke.

Yay but both the skidoo and bearcat are not as sporty as the Polaris and are much more utility than anything else.

I agree with the Bearcat but there are a few nice SkiDoos.

Respectfully couldn't disagree more about a Polaris being any more or less sporty than a Skidoo.  It all depends which models you are comparing head to head.  The Titan Adventure is feature for feature almost a carbon copy of the Expedition LE that Skidoo has made for years.  And the fact that the Titan has an 800 is a detriment IMO because its not the style of machine that will be typically ridden in a manner that will take advantage of the extra horsepower over a 600 and just reduces fuel economy unnecessarily.  The Titan XC 155 and the Expedition Extreme 800 are pretty much the same thing and both are as "sporty" as each other.

Wow that expedition extreme does look good funny never heard about it before

Looks like it has a few motor options and lower prices as well. I know there are two guys on HSO that have the 900 Ace maybe they will chime in here sometime to give their thoughts on them? I got to drive one of them and was pretty surprised at the quick response of the 4 stroke. I thought it was going to react like a lawn tractor!

So is the titan part of the Indy family or has it branched off?
