I had a 01 800 and went to a 600 in 06. That 600 was a brand new design that matched my old 800. Both were 120hp carbureted. Then by 2010 my Rush was Clean Fire injected 125hp. That design was the same motor until the 650. Bullet proof legendary animal. Smooth, no vibration or chassis twist in and out of the throttle.
600 might be the way to go since my new 850 blew up at 600 miles. Idk what’s going on with Polaris this year but there’s 6 of them sitting at the dealership I went to all melted down on the pto side and all under 800miles.
@@JESSEJAMES322 oh absolutely it does I’m a die hard Polaris guy my last 4 snow checks have been put thru the ringer and never let me down with thousands of miles on them. This was my first walk of shame and to make it worse I got towed back to the trailer by a ski doo lol
Wish Polaris would make these more available to non racers. Much cheaper than an xcr and in my opinion a way way better trail sled. I’m still on a ‘18 600 switchback and the power is fine for me. Do wish it was snappier though. Seems like this is bridging the gap
find a used one of these. they are out there. and i would lov ethe XCR to come like this too but 99% of people that think they want this or need this would get it and say its too stiff and thats why the XCR we now have comes as it does....
@@JESSEJAMES322 yeah, I live right next to hygear so they did the valving and springs for the WE shocks the ‘18 came with and it was WAY better. Stays propped up in its travel much better and is still more compliant in chatter. Most noticeable thing is how much better it was in moguls. Stock the suspension used to collapse after several moguls and the sled would get very lethargic. Now the ability to change directions while blasting across moguls is unbelievable now.
for sure. these have rebound adjust so that is a HUGE compenent into getting these to work right. yes we can change rebound when valving but much easier when there is a dial on the shock to change it. aside form that our revalved XCR shocks are close for sure. this is the whole package though. spindles, pulled limiter strap, quick revving all makes this feel so different
Hey Jesse great video. Just curious if you know if those front shocks on the cross country 600 will fit on a boost? I’m gonna upgrade my shocks next season and I’d like to run those. Thanks
I saw Sr had one for sale at the dealership; would have LOVED an invitation to come ride that, even after a 11 hour drive JJ. I didn’t snowcheck, so I’m looking! This 600 seems to be the ticket I’m looking for, but need to ride it first! #InviteNextTime ? 😢

I love 650/600 series. Lighter and easy to toss. I don’t race across lakes, but tight trails.
idk if they are necesarily lighter
Can you by chance do a night time comparison on the headlight on the CC and the nightblade?
i dont think any riding is left unfortunately

and i was just at a skidoo dealer with 5 850's blown up too. not just polaris. not just a certain motor. shit happens

They are 16k not too much different than a xcr 650. Also, there is no warranty, and it must run 91+ fuel. I still want one though.
@@jamesferguson8733 they used to be a lot less. Still, would rather have this 100%

Do your own clutching an gearing. In the future I want another 600cfi!
Did you notice any ride differences in the Cross Country shocks compared to the revalved XCR shocks?

Good video but you need to sort of the uneven sound volume with some remote microphones from now on.
working on it
Can he get more of these? To sell to consumer? I’m not in race program.
this one will most likely be for sale
A lot of wood real close to that trail, makes me nervous, would Bruce’s sled be considered a XCRR?
Very tight trails here! And we’re calling that an Indy 9R!
Are these only available in the USA? I've never seen one in Canada.
they're in canada for sure
@@JESSEJAMES322 Doesn't show up on the regular Polaris site. Do I have to reach out to a dealer?
these are through the race department. you cannot call your dealer and get one. they arent available to the general public
i would like to know what stock clutching is in that sled...???
im not sure but its stock
Is this the same 600 they discontinued on the standard product line? Why would this sled not have the new 650? Implies the 600 is a better motor.
racing rules (professional) limited to 600CC so they had to stay 600. this is the same motor but many different components
@@JESSEJAMES322 Thanks. You schooled a man. :)
learn something new everyday!

Same chassis should be same length shock I have them on an xcr platform.
Yes they will. Contract Bruce and see if he can get you a set!
Thank you
With all of that talent you should be running the Iron Dog!
ive tossed the idea around. or doing some CC races
@@JESSEJAMES322 You should just get setup to run the Iron Dog, you have the backing of South Side already, you got this dude!
@@JESSEJAMES322 let’s get you set up on a cross country race this season

Yes he did/does have one for sale. You dont have to ride this! youd love it!!
@@JESSEJAMES322 You forget, I haven’t gotten to ride in over 20 some years!
How is the 600 vs a 650?
very very different. this is way more spunky and quick revving
Well why doesn't a XCR come that way...I want my XCR to be like that
call southside and they can make it happen!
🔥 What a sled
