2011 RMK Pro

[RMKrick]

Whats everyone think of the rush RMK I like the look. I wonder if it is going to perform.Lets here your comments!!

[indy_500]

I WANT IT! lol i have never seen more than 2 feet of snow on my sled lol but i still want one!

[nitroman]

Looks good I was all set to snowcheck but I think I will ride the dragon one more season so they can work the bugs out first. New motor new chassis = no snowcheck for me besides my little D7 goes everywhere the D8 goes and more somedays.

[xcswitch]

I like the looks of it. If it doesn't come with a different 800 motor they can keep them in the crates for all I care. Sorry to sound grumpy but just can't get rid of my anger on my 09 800

[dhealy8]

RMKrick, I ordered one, hit me up next winter and I'll let you know. I had good luck with the '09, '10 800's. If I do have trouble, I will only state facts tho, but never complain because I'm the one who ordered it..ha. We only go around once! What fun is like without taking chances;) There is (was) also a promotion due to the issues in the last couple years on the '11's for trading in on a '12 (you get a check for 1K back if you trade next spring) plus the $450 saved this year due to not getting the extended warranty (if you know your gettin a new one next year).

After 35 years of nothing but Ski-Doo, I will be taking delivery of a Silver 2011 RMK Pro 155 800, Can't wait!!

RevKev, what sold you on the 2011 RMK to make the switch?

[RevKev]

Weight, narrowness,Price, and looks, it is by far the best looking sled out there. 30 lbs lighter than the Summit I was looking at, and 2 grand less.

We of course will expect some pictures of it when she gets in! :D

[polarisrider1]

Kev, rumor has it that we will be riding at Cooke City Jan. 16th-28th and again at Ten Mile April 3-8th. So don't worry I will have you well versed in riding a Polaris (and looking good at it) by then! :) What we need to do is bring your Doo along and put some young buck on it so we got someone to tug you out of trouble.

[nitroman]

It's home!

[doospunk]

It's home!

Sweet looking sled!

[Skylar]

It's home!

Bad azz!

[doospunk]

Bad azz!

The pic doesn't do this sled justice. Was out at Polaris Corporate HQ bout a month ago, and saw this thing being showcased in the main lobby. Great looking sled. Hope the performance is just as good. I'd consider this thing for my next if the performance and reliability is competitive. (Coupled with the carvn performance!! ;o)

[skeedoo]

I like the Pro RMK sleds!! Saw one in Milwaukee and was impressed. Hopefully with it being so light they didn't take away from the strength and integrity any (Possible Ski-doo issue). Nice looking sleds RevKev and Nitroman and whoever else got one this year.

[Firecatguy]

sweeeeet looking sled....cant wait to ride the new one in our group.....

[techsledder]

(Possible Ski-doo issue).
Ha! That's rich! You've talked with your doo mechanic buddy. I'd say doo's XP front end chassis has at least a design for longevity issue.

Nitroman, Nice ride! :D

[RevKev]

Nice sled Nitroman:p

[nitroman]

Nice sled Nitroman:p

Have you stopped staring at yours yet! Removed all the unwanted stickers today and gonna mount the handguards later. Will post better pics then! It handles really well in the garage LOL! I really like it so far glad I pulled the trigger and can't wait to get it on the snow(who in their right mind would say otherwise)! The spare belt mount is a little bit of a pita though. Not polishing the tunnel on this one it only looks good in the garage gonna have it wrapped next summer I think.

No I have not stopped staring at mine:eek: My only plans are to change weights in the clutch, it comes clutched for 6 to 8 thou, and I ride West in 8 to 10, and Michigans UP from 600 to 1200. Im looking into a tunnel bag from Sled Solutions, will keep the spare belt in there, along with crap in my beck pack, and quit wearing the pack, it gets to be a pain after awhile...literally.

[nitroman]

Looking at the Skinz tunnel bag and sled cover from Sled Solutions as well. I have the. underseat bag that I keep my MSR stove, fuel, and meals in. Will always wear the pack though. I'm gonna go the first trip without ventins but am expecting to vent the clutch side at some point before the Febrary trip. I bought the weights for the flat lands as well as 10-12 for the snowies prolly gonna get some 8-10's as well. I am really impressed with the sled as it sits and can't wait to get it out west!

[RevKev]

Actually I was looking into the E-Series Tunnel bag, Made exclusively for Sled Solutions. http://www.sledsolutions.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=165_224&products_id=655

The Skinz bag is nice as well.

[nitroman]

For those that wondered how the Skinz cover fit's the ProRMK as I was I got mine on tonight. They were right it goes on a little hard the first time!

[RevKev]

Had mine out on the Snow this weekend, Mancelona had about 10 inches, enough for a quick rip around, only went about 4 miles, enough to tell, this thing is an arm strecher, WOW is all I can say. Can't wait to get her out in more snow.

[Firecatguy]

just got home from Togwotee and we rode with friend who has new Pro Rmk 163 and i will tell you this...after watching this sled all week and riding it this is the new bench mark for mt sleds this sled flat out rock and out performed all the others......we had a few hills that the snow was deep and had to take a cpl shots at getting over!!!not the pro up and over every time first try.....when i rode it i took same hill i took on my m8 both fresh snow same pitch on hill and the pro will do what you ask of it with ease....i was able to slow and start again on the hill that i did not even try that on my sled.....

You guys don't know how much torture it is to read this for me by not getting one this year. But I love what I here! so keep reports coming in Guys, Sounds as if Poo has got it figured out. In fairness, We also want to here the dislikes too.

[Milton]

Whats up pat, how was tog in early season?? Looked pretty good. Who got the new pro ride this year? Headed out to tog in jan to rent a pro and see if i like it, maybe snow check a 2012

[skeedoo]

On my way back into Togwotee Lodge 2 days ago I came across a couple of guys that were stuck and said they needed help out. They were new to sledding and had rented 2 Pro RMK 155" and with all of the snow they had troubles. Basically after getting them out I asked if I could ride one. It was a really nice sled!!! Easy to throw around and carve with and had tons of power. I left those guys with some advice... GET YOUR BUTTS OFF YOUR SEAT, STAND ON YOUR BOARDS AND RIDE THAT BAD AZZ SLED!!!! Also one of the guys I rode with that day had a Pro RMK 163", he was unbeatable on climbs. I bleed ski-doo but way to go Polaris for building a killer mountain sled.

My favorite one Wayne, these guys rip up this entire section. The Pros shine over the lone IQ RMK.

Don't forget Kev, I will Valet park your sled for you at Cooke every night. Why because that's what friends do. LOL. Kev, If you are not planning to ride it before Cooke City then bring it on over this weekend (Avy class) I have my enclosed trailer at my house and I will run it up to Rick's place (indoor heated). I am going up anyways. Promise I won't ride it. (little white lie). Just trying to help you free up some garage space! (I just should of ordered one).
