@JESSEJAMES322 I been watching the videos on the xcr 136 and the more I think about it I think that's the one I need...129 was great but 136 I think will be better...I'm in western NY and the snow has been so light lately it sucks...I'm all equipped with a 2500 truck and a legend trailer and all my gear...just watin on a sled to buy...DAM SNOW
Thanks for the info as usual. Still no idea about the longer rear torsion spring kit and possible shock valve adjustment? I’m getting my new sled soon a have to get heavy duty springs but I’m considering the Long kit option if it’s simple. Very interested in the overall ride difference. Thanks 😊
I realize the two models use quite different shocks, but no one talks about the valving. Are they valved similar, or is the XC set up for a softer more plush trail ride? I've heard lots of people find the Assault rear suspension to be quite harsh in the small chatter bumps.
just due to the "riffle Bore" in the body of the fox they will be more plush. the assaults are not really harsh (in our eyes) but the XC 146 will be a softer more plush ride
I did not realize they made the XC in a 146. Are the back of the rails tipped up as well? Thanks for the walkthrough and info. You guys are a great source of info. Keep it up.
Looking at buying a used '22 XC 850 137'- after weeks of research and asking around I keep getting different answers on the engine durability. Is it realistic to get 10,000 miles + on the motor ? We are talking trail riding and some lake fun. Nothing like those mountain guys do lol
i mean there is no real answer here as there are tons of variables. i personally would rebuild every 5K but i have seen engines with 10K still going strong. theres not a black and white answer for your question unfortunateky
Thanks for the help..im was torn between these two.i had a 19 xc 129...looking to go longer track
Yea i like the 137 over the 129. The 146 is a great sled as well just different animal!

These short informative videos are excellent. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to the next one!
Thank you! Appreciate that!
Thanks for all the videos you do. They help out alot
Yes this is the best Polaris trail sled channel I’ve seen on You Tube.
Thank you! Appreciate that and thanks for following along!

Haven’t had snow to ride anything unfortunately

As far as cornering, is the XC easier to corner in the tight stuff, or do you still have to work it to keep the inside ski down?
these are the same sled so will feel very very similar if not the same

Yes. My 2007 144 has tipped rails
Yes same rail profile as assault and actually same exact rail!
Good to know. Makes for a little cheaper option for someone who isn’t a super aggressive rider, but wants to get off trial occasionally
The lower spring mounts on the rear springs are different as well. XC runs a steel mount, whereas the Assault runs an aluminum mount.
like the actual rear torsion spring slide is what your reffering too?
@JESSEJAMES322 yes sir! Small difference but it is different. You guys are doing some great videos!
Are the rear springs hd on both?
They’re both standard duty.

@@JESSEJAMES322 Fair enough. Awesome videos, any thoughts on the Yamaha Viper ?
I thought the next video was the starting of the XC9R? something go wrong and you're not telling us? 😋
I said sometime next week. Nope not one issue just wanted to spread the videos out
