Has anyone checked out the Polaris site lately? There's a new pop-up window thats advertising something that's going to be released on their website on Aug 5th. New ATV, PWC, snowmobile??? Any guesses?

I'm leaning towards a sled due to the timeing. It's too late to be realeasing a PWC or an ATV, and it doesn't look like a bike. But either a high performance 4 stroker sled, or a radically new chassis design like the REV in a limited build capacity shouldn't be ruled out.

Maybe this was all part of their plan by not releasing it at the same time as the RX-1 and the REV. Man, their sure as he!! due for something exciting. Whats everyone else think?

I would say a new ATV. Think about it, when do manufacturers normally debut their next model year lineup? At the end of the season that is when. Like with snowmobiles they debut the 2003s close to the end of the 2002 season. Think of August as a close to the end time for ATVs. Thats my say in it anyway. And from the pop-up I say it is definetally not a bike. I lean towards a four wheeler since that N and R you see seem to be Neutral and Reverse. I think anyway.

I agree with the second part about reverse and neutral, but the first part is not always true. Race sleds are barely ever shown before fall, and last year AC didn't introduce their 900 till halfway through the season so anything is possible. I wouldn't rule out a 4stroke sled either.

I have no clue, from the graphics they show I"m assuming ATV, the last image before the pop up thing ends looks ATV-like to me.

Yeah I saw the N and R lever as well. ATV or sled, we'll see Aug 5th. I still think it could possibly be a sled. I know when they normally release sleds, but due to the REV and the RX-1 being released then, it would of stolen Polaris's "thunder". If it is a sled I'm thinking it would be a limited build for this year.

What ever it is, it has a performance feel about it. If its an ATV, its definately not some sort of Sportsman type.

The MSX is the new watercraft from Polaris. It has a new hull and the 1200HO engine. I thought it was the new standup at first but it is a three passanger sit down.

I have heard through my local dealer, who's friend has been testing the new 4 stroke 150 turbo engine in the sled. Watch out RX-1 is what I'm hearing from them.

the rx-1 doesn't impress me personally so... and I am a Yamaha guy.
