I have been waiting for your review. The Sled is AWESOME looking and great to hear it's all you expected and more. I hear you on the cost of these nowadays and it sucks to spend a boat load of cash for one and be dis-appointed. Great to see you're back from your accident and doing well.
23 XCR 850 is hands down the best sled I’ve ever rode. Rode Doos and Yamahas( SXViper, MXZ, Renegades) 128 studded makes it perfect. I’m 6’3” 240 and you couldn’t get me back on a 136/137. We do off trail/on trail riding.
I absolutely love my XCR, i’m 6’3” and about 205lbs and have been a Cat guy my whole life. Cat took way too long to make innovate not too mention I think the Catalyst is ugly so I went Polaris. The sled is amazing and sexy as all get down! Whereabouts ya located?
Anyone else notice at 11:50 his display just shuts off and turns back on? 😂 heard about these kinda issuses with the s7 and why I chose the standard guage on my 23 XCR850
Yeah it was doing that but it has since been fixed. I guess it was something in the software and it needed to be updated. Doesn't do it anymore. Other than that this is my first Polaris I came off a '19 Cat ZR 8000 limited and I have been a Cat guy my whole 38 years of riding. I got so frustrated with Cat because they kept dragging out the reveal and release of the Catalyst enough was enough. What sealed the deal was I rode my buddy's '22 XCR 850 and was sold!
I got the white lightning 23 xcr 850, the suspension is so good it actually makes you feel like your a better rider than you are, lol, I have about 400 miles on mine now I typically ride on the red river behind my house, I treat it like a race track so nice to ride on, the longest stretch without a turn is a bout 1500 feet or so and I had it up to 96mph before having to slow to make the turn , I love the thing , best money I have ever spent, I haven’t touched a single thing on the suspension yet, I’m 6foot 2 inches about 220 lbs, the only thing I plan on doing is turning up the torsion spring, I’ve had it bottom out a time or 2 , no big deal
Mine has both pull and electric start. I use both mainly electric start but pull starting it is easy to. It is an awesome sled and that is coming from a guy who has ridden cat my whole life.
I said that to until I rode one. John these new sleds are incredible. I have been riding for 40yrs now and I have had the opportunity to ride many different sleds throughout the years and there is just nothing like these new sleds. They really are in a league of their own. I still love the old ones to though.
Cool video dude! I just ordered my brand new 2024 XCR I have rode Ski Doos and old Indy’s all my life I had to get a new Indy. Can’t wait to rip around!! If I’m getting a little ski lift what do I adjust?
Congrads on the 2024 order Tony you are going to love it! For ski lift tighten your limiter straps that will put more pressure on the skis. I would start there my friend.
No cable extensions needed but that is as far as you can go without having to use extensions. I actually went to a 4” riser from the 5” and it is even better because it is still really comfortable when standing and it doesn’t affect cornering either like I felt the 5” did slightly.
@@LastChanceLegacy Haven’t got it yet it comes in November. I’m super excited, it was expensive but f*ck it haha this is my first brand new Sled all my others were at least 2 years old

Yes turn your torsion springs up to high and your rear track shock black clicker 2 clicks clockwise.
I can’t agree more about the Polaris bar riser. They’re all just unfinished aluminum. They should at least powder coat those things.
Great sled bro!!! Officially a Polaris guy now!!! Keep it up!
A Polaris guy for the time being yes…Not too say you won’t ever see me on a cat again because i’m sure it will happen someday…
Ya got to send me one of your T shirts brother…XL
@@LastChanceLegacy text me your address!
How is it to start? Is it electric or pull start??
Mine has both pull and electric start. I use both mainly electric start but pull starting it is easy to. It is an awesome sled and that is coming from a guy who has ridden cat my whole life.
Still a cat guy here. I'll take my 20 plus year old sleds over the newer stuff.

Thanks for the review. Another tall guy here. Any cable extensions needed to go to the 5" riser?
