We had a spring "garden show" and Polaris had one there. You are right. Very comfortable. One thing that impressed me was the suspension. Every move you make on it, the suspension responds accordingly. I've never seen another sled respond in the way that the Rush does. Guess I'll have to ride one and really see. One of the things I did not like was there's basically no storage though. But I've heard there is aftermarket companies working on that.

Polaris already has a ton of aftermarket stuff for it. Most looks gay.

I've read a lot about them but I havint taken a seat on one yet. One thing I think that will be an issue is the tunnel(parts or whole) is bonded with some kind of "adhesive". I don't know if it's JB weld or whatnot. Sounds like a recall to me

Yup, all bonded frame. The adhesive is actually stronger than the frame material itself. And if you bend one tube, you can take a torch to the joints and they'll come apart and just replace that one component. We'll see how they hold up though.

Didn't Ski-Doo have a similar idea in 03 when the rev came out and the replaced it? I think it would be cool if the rush's will work but we will see how they do
1998 Polaris Indy 500 chassis with 98 Xc 600 motor
SLP ceramic coated pipe with SLP can
V-force reeds
4 inch pivot riser
Gutted Air Box
EPI clutch kit soon to be installed
Maybe some pro tapers
1998 XC 700 water-cross sled
SLP twin pipes
Some light weight parts
Water-cross mods include taking the parts u do not need
This includes removing the seat replacing gas tank and IFS bars.

It is quite different really. The beaver tail really wasn't part of the suspension, it just moved with it like a snowflap attached to the rear idlers.
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.

I am starting to like the rush for some reason. The one thing that I am curious about is why is it still at 459lbs with so little material. Will be interesting to see what kind of after market parts there will be for it.

THe look is fast forward and the ride is awesome. I was fortunate enough to test ride one and it soaked up BIG bumps nicely and was extremely flat in the corners...

the fusion chassis was 'quickly' built but evolved into the iq chassis. the '700' and 900 motors had vibration issues and i guess polaris couldn't fix the problem and i suppose they scrapped it but kept the same 600 engine had a carbed version for a while then went onto a cfi version. those 900s were fast and not so bad on fuel from what i've seen and heard. but those 700s had more problems then the 9
