Axys - Photos taken from teaser vid

[Zak.V]

Well I am no computer expert, but did a simple compilation of screen caps from the video and hosted it all on one easy to view location. (Beats hitting the pause button to see whats going on)

If anyone is good with photoshop, we could get a nice view if that last picture gets cleaned up. (I tried and dont know enough to make any improvements)

Heres what you came for:

 

[beamslayer]

Looks like a flip up hood again .

 

[JonezyBones]

New display and handlebar controls? From the looks it doesnt appear much different.

Good for the flatlanders. They'll enjoy it

 

[Solby]

Doesn't it look like that rear bumper is tilted at a steeper angle than the tunnel parts. e-motion skid now maybe a p-motion?

 

[milo303]

I hope this front end change is for the mountain sleds also... The pro needs an updated look big time imo!

I don't think it looks like a flip hood at all.... Just looks like freshened up pro panels

 

[treemagnet03]

Funny that people are already looking for a major facelift. The thing is only going into its 5th year in the mountains...we sure do have a short attention span these days.

 

[05900]

Hopefully it is not an extended design for radiator clearence since the shock is now out on the "tunnel".

 

[RMK-King]

What is it he is pointing at here? A vent? Plastic piece for proper hinged hood fitment? aftercooler fins?

The missing Polaris hood emblem! J/K

 

[Scott]

Looks like the Extreme Bumper.

 

[TB1000]

If they were gonna steal something from skidoo it shouldn't have been the t-motion it should have been a motor.

From what I understood Polaris patented the T-motion concept before skidoo did and that is what one of the law suits was over.

Totally agree, but disagree too

97-98 wedge chassis. I don't know if you want to go back into the early wedge chassis rmk's to count into those years.

99-01 gen 2.

02-05. Edge chassis.

05-06. IQ

07-10. IQ raw.

11-? Pro rmk

Yeah. Everyone is antsy for changes, but this is about the longest run for a chassis. I could stand to see things stay the same with some refinements. We just have been programmed to expect the change.

I can remember in college there was not big releases on the web. It was what day does the new model book show up at the dealership. We would stop there everyday for weeks waiting for the new catalogues. I remember when the 97' 700 came out. That page hung up in our house for months.

Thats the beverage holder.

 

[JMCX]

Front radiator?

 

[m1kflyingtiger]

Looks like a shorter front end/more rider forward. In the second pic you see the headlight way out almost above the back I the shock towers.

 

[Bobby26]

could the new patent remove the front track shock, on my rush the front track shock takes most of the absorption first.

 

[catothom]

What they state in the video is that there is 95% new parts on the sled. The hood looks new, the front looks neew, suspension looks new, handlebars, instrument and so on looks new.
First the RUSH came out, second year the Pro RMK came out. Would bet the new RMK comes in 2016 First year on this new sled is a test run for customers

 

[SNWMBL]

Something to keep in mind is that a "new" part could simply mean a different length bolt. I'm not saying the Rush won't be 95% dramatically different than previous years, but marketing can be rather clever.

Thats what I was thinking kinda looks like intercooler fins!
