FOX Athletes Finish Strong at Soo I-500 Enduro

Press Release

Two of the top four spots belonged to FOX athletes when the 44th annual Soo I-500 Enduro race drew to a close this past February 4, 2012 in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

Regarded as one of the most prestigious and grueling snowmobile races in the world, competitors race for 500 miles on a heavily rutted and worn 1-mile ice oval. After more than 9 hours of racing, Ryan Simons and D.J. Ekre finished just 16.475-seconds behind the leading team.

Qualifying 20th overall in the 38-sled field, the number 52 sled of Simons and Ekre moved up to the front of the pack quickly and was joined by fellow FOX athletes, Brian Dick, Gary Moyle, and Chad Lian aboard the number 66 snowmobile.

With warm temperatures and four days of racing, qualifying, and practice leading up to race day, the track had deteriorated dramatically–within 100-laps of the race, dirt was coming through the ice in several areas.

As the race wore on, the track worsened, and riders fought through dirt and exceedingly rough conditions—a scenario, which proved to be near perfect for cross-country veterans Dick, Simons, Ekre, and Lian.

As the race headed into the closing laps, Ekre and Simons was one of only two sleds still on the lead lap. They gave chase for the lead, but ran out of laps, settling for second place. The number 66 sled with Dick at the helm, finished just one spot off the podium, in fourth.

“The Soo (I-500) poses a unique challenge for suspension tuning,” said Rick Strobel, Snowmobile Race Manager at FOX. “Early in the week, the track is smooth and more like a typical ice race, but as you get closer to the end, the track becomes more like a cross-country race. We have to work closely with all our athletes in order to come up with a set-up that works across a wide variety of conditions.”

Next up for FOX athletes on the cross-country circuit is the USCC Grafton 100 in Grafton, North Dakota, Sunday February 12, 2012. FOX Snocross athletes will compete inside the Silverdome this Friday, February 10, 2012 as the ISOC tour stops in Michigan.

TREMBLAY TO COMPETE AT THE GRAND PRIX OF VALCOURT

Press Release

0

It was a last minute decision, but the defending Grand Prix of Valcourt snocross champion was almost a scratch for the 30th consecutive running of the great Quebec winter motorsports classic.

Tim Tremblay, the Lac Saint-Jean area native who moved to the USA in order to pursue his passion in the powerful ISOC Snocross Championship, added another feather to his cap by winning the prestigious 2012 Snocross World Championship last January in Eagle River, Wisconsin.

The victory, along with other considerations, earned him an invitation to attend an international snocross meet in Russia the weekend of February 25, which would have forced the Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc resident to miss the Valcourt race because of possible jet lag problems had he participated in the Valcourt event a week earlier.

But Mother Nature came to the rescue and with Tremblay’s win in the Pro Open ISOC race in Pontiac, Michigan last Friday, the newly crowned World Snocross Champion will be in Valcourt this coming weekend for the Grand Prix February 17-19. Lack of snow due to rain and warm weather, forced ISOC Series officials to reschedule the February 3-4 Farmington, New York races to February 24-25, a conflicting date with the Russian international meet.

Also, his win at the Silverdome Stadium got the Ski-doo Warnert Racing driver within 11 points of championship leader Ross Martin of Team Polaris Judnick Motorsports, who finished sixth that night. At the halfway mark of the season, the decision not to go to Russia must have been a no brainer.

Two Defending World Champions in Valcourt

Last week, it was announced that Nicholas Van Strydonk, who began the 2012 season by capturing the World Championship Snowmobiler Derby at Eagle River, would be in Valcourt to defend the Grand Prix titles he won the last two seasons.

With Tremblay joining the fray, this will mark the first time that two reigning World Champions, who also happen to be the Grand Prix defending champions, would compete in Valcourt the same weekend. Fans interested in meeting the drivers and also discover what makes Valcourt tick at this time of the year, can attend Open House Thursday free of charge to see the drivers test their machines on the ice oval and on the snocross tracks as they get ready for the big weekend ahead. Gates open at 1 p.m.

The participation of Tremblay and several ISOC racers such as Justin Broberg from Waukesha, Wisconsin, Darrin Mees of Long Island, New York and Robbie Malinoski of Lino Lake, Minnesota in the Grand Prix, as well as that of 2011 East Coast Snocross Pro champion Matt Morin from Val-d’Or, who now toils his trade in ISOC, could mean another ISOC Series drivers domination in the Pro classes in Valcourt. Or maybe not.

With three series making the Grand Prix part of their 2012 championship schedule in the Pro and Pro Lites classes, riders from the Quebec-based SCMX series, the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA) and the East Coast Snocross (ECS) series based in the American Northeast will be coming in great numbers to try and win bragging rights on who’s the best.

Most of the series’ pro champions have returned for 2012 and so far this year, they keep notching up wins in their own series and in the mixed meetings. In the last CSRA-SCMX meet two weeks ago, the top riders, as well as those from the ECS, gathered in Louiseville, Quebec.

They were all there to size one another up in order to get ready for the big one in Valcourt. Four Pro races were on the agenda and four different riders won. CSRA Pro champion Iain Hayden of Holland Center, Ontario and SCMX’s Pro Super Stock champ Dave Asselin of La Doré, Quebec each won a race on Saturday, while Dave Allard of Saint-Félicien, the reigning SCMX Pro Open monarch won on Sunday.

The surprise came from Idaho snocross rider Colby Crapo who capture the Pro Super Stock 600 on Sunday. The unknown is a Leighton Motorsports teammate of Jennifer Paré. He traveled with the team to Louiseville where she was competing in the Sports Class. Crapo is a regular driver in the ISOC Pro Lite class who picked up a season-best fifth-place finish last Friday at the Silverdome in Michigan.

As for Quebec rider Danny Poirier, who led both the ECS Pro Open and Pro Stock classes ahead of Dylan Martin of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin and Lincoln Lemieux following the first four meetings run so far this year, he stepped to the podium in three of the four races in Louiseville. In the CSRA championship race, Hayden leads the Pro Open Class ahead of last season’s points runner-up David Joanis of Cochrane, Ontario and Lee Butler from Sudbury. Fourth-place in the standings belongs to pro rookie Dylan Hall of Ayr, Ontario. Last year at Valcourt, Hall handily won the Pro Lite race.

Aside from snocross action this weekend, fans will enjoy the highly charged ice oval snowmobile races. The motorcycle daredevils and ATV riders, who will share the bill on the Circuit Yvon Duhamel oval track. On Friday afternoon, February 17, fans are invited to attend the snowmobile drag racing showdown, which will conclude under the lights. Admission to the Grand Prix on Friday is free of charge for anyone passing through the Grand Prix turnstiles after 3:00 p.m.

Something new awaits spectators this year with the addition of the Big Air Tow-In snowboard competition on Saturday afternoon, February 18, 2012. Admission to the snowboard freestyle competition is $10 per person after 3:00 p.m., and free of charge for spectators with valid Grand Prix admission tickets.

Tickets for the 30th running of the Grand Prix of Valcourt are available at the ticket office at 1-450-532-3443 or at 1-866-532-7543. Some Trackside Suite passes are still available. To learn more about the weekend festivities, schedule and ticket packages, fans can visit www.grandprixvalcourt.com.

Located a mere 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Sherbrooke, Québec, Valcourt is 90 minutes away from Montréal and around two and a half hours from Plattsburg, New York, Burlington, and a little more from Montpelier, Vermont and Laconia New Hampshire. The track’s civic address is 917, Route 22 in Maricourt.

TEAM ARCTIC UNSTOPPABLE AT GRAFTON

Whooped-out ditch, winding river and carnage-causing rough conditions made their first appearances of the 2012 cross-country season at the USCC Grafton 100 and Team Arctic responded by delivering a whooping of their own, including 13 of 17 victories, seven podium sweeps and victory in both Pro classes.

Leading the charge in the Pro classes was Christian Bros. Racing’s D.J. Ekre, who started the day by winning the Pro Open class ahead of teammates Ryan Simons and Cory Davis.

After the 20-mile course was transformed into a rough, half-dirt minefield by the many classes of competition throughout the day, Ekre lined up for the five-lap, 100-mile Pro 600 final as the favorite to win.

Combining his blazing speed with the excellent handling of his Sno Pro 600 in the ProCross chassis, Ekre fulfilled the expectations with a winning time of 1:48:36, nearly two minutes faster than second place.

“This was one of the roughest courses I’ve seen in years, with more than half the field unable to finish,” commented Mike Kloety, Team Arctic Race Manager. “D.J. put himself into the lead early and then ran the perfect pace to preserve his win. Unfortunately Ryan Simons hit a rock halfway through the final lap, otherwise he’d have taken second in both Pro classes.”

Highlighting Team Arctic’s depth and the strength of the 2012 Sno Pro race sleds, 11 different racers claimed class wins at Grafton.

While the cross-country corps was tearing up the terrain in North Dakota, Team Arctic snocrossers delivered a solid performance at the ISOC National at the Pontiac Silverdome.

Logan Christian notched his first podium of the season with a second in Pro Open, while Tucker Hibbert had to settle for third following a rare tip-over while passing for the lead.

Other top performances by Team Arctic in the abbreviated Pontiac event included Tyler Adam’s second in Sport, Samantha Tarnowski’s third in Pro Women and the one-two finish of Reid Runkel and Nicholas Horstman in Transition Limited.

Byers Motorsports on Top At Barrie

Press Release

Mild temperatures and lack of snow in central Ontario forced the CSRA to make the decision to move this past weekend’s race from its scheduled location in Orangeville back, to Georgian Downs in Barrie.

The track from 2-weeks prior was still in shape but had lost a fair bit of snow and had become very hard. The CSRA crew was able to make due with the available snow and build us a track. A snowfall on Friday and Saturday nights complimented the event by covering the grass that was visible Friday.

Saturday’s track was hard and fast, reaching speeds of 47MPH on the front stretch and 40MPH through the woop section down the back.

Jamie had a tough start in the Pro-Lite Stock Moto 1 starting on the outside having to work his way up to 4th. He finished 3rd in Moto 2. Qualifying 5th for the final, he lined up to the inside of the start line.

Jamie was 4th going into the first corner, charged hard down the backstretch and put himself into the lead. From there Jamie started pulling away from 2nd place to a comfortable lead taking his 3rd win this season.

“I struggled in the qualifiers but was able to get into the lead and run my own race”, Jamie said stoked after winning the final. “The Polaris’ suspension worked flawless through the woops. It felt great to come out on top today!”

The team woke up to a fresh 8″ of snow on Sunday morning at the track and it kept snowing until the start of the Main events.

The track was changed a bit from Saturday to slow down the speed of the sleds. Jamie grabbed a 3rd place finish in both Open qualifiers, coming from 6th off the start in Moto 2. In the final, Jamie got a decent start and rode to a solid 4th place finish.

The CSRA put on a good event with the conditions they had to work with and we want to thank all of our fans that came out to support the Supertrax/Byers Motorsports team, once again this weekend, in Barrie.

The next stop on the schedule is the 30th running of the Grand Prix de Valcourt in Valcourt, Quebec for the CSRA National Round #5. Jamie will be competing against top Pro-Lite racers from the ISOC, SCMX and ECS circuits.

Yamaha Racers Take 4 Wins in Phillips

Press Release

Yamaha FX Nytro snowmobiles swept to an impressive tally of four Pro and Semi Pro class wins – and more podiums in Sport and Team categories – in the cross-country races in Phillips, Wis. on Saturday, Feb. 11.

Pro driver Nathan Titus commanded both Pro Sprint and Distance categories, while Semi Pro driver Ben Lindbom drove to victory in the Semi Pro Sprint and Distance events.

Adding to the laurels for the FX Nytro, Yamaha R&D’s Andy Storbeck took home a pair of third-place podium finishes in the amateur Sport category, while Titus and Semi Pro driver Jake Jorgenson teamed up to grab second in the exciting Team race at day’s end.

Laid out adjacent to the shoreline on Wilson Lake, the five-mile Le Mans-style course included dozens of turns – some slow and some plenty fast – plus numerous acceleration chutes, a short island crossing with rolling whoops, and a fast quarter-mile straightaway that netted speeds in excess of 100 mph.

Although the course was covered with a half-foot of snow on Saturday morning, during the day the sleds swept the lake surface clean so that in many cases, the surface became pure ice.

Add in weather conditions that racer Titus called “clear, blue and cold” (meaning sunny with temperatures climbing to just 16 degrees), and the day proved just right for snowmobile racing.

The races used a time-trial format, with drivers leaving the line one by one and then lapping as fast as possible against the clock – with the lowest lap time taking top honors.

While some other classes mixed riders of different skill levels, the Pro category was just that – pros only on course.

Titus drew the number-one starting position and jetted his FX Nytro away with a clear course ahead of him – but also the knowledge that other pros were lined up just behind and hungry to attack.

Naturally, Titus got on the gas and put down fast, smooth laps – four in the Pro Sprint race and seven laps in the longer Pro Distance event. This keen focus – and the FX Nytro’s four-stroke performance – proved ideal for him to take both wins, with an impressive two-minute gap over the next closest pro driver in one race.

“The Yamaha was perfect on a course with so many acceleration zones,” Titus said afterwards. “With tons of midrange, the engine really pulls out of the corners, and it’s got great top end too. In fact the powerband seems almost limitless – while two-stroke sleds have a finite powerband, the FX Nytro comes on and then just keeps pulling.” Yamaha’s Eric Josephsen added, “Talk about versatility! The FX Nytro swept seven classes in a semi-terrain race a week ago, and this weekend the same drivers added four more wins on an ice track. It really shows the adaptability of FX Nytro package.”

Showing that snowmobile drivers are as hardcore as any Baja off-road racer, after the Wisconsin event, Lindbom and his father loaded up and hightailed it 500 miles northwest to Grafton, North Dakota for another cross-country race. Here Lindbom joined Yamaha pro Ross Erdman in attacking a 52-mile terrain race on Sunday morning.

Featuring woods, ditches and lake ice – but very little snow-pack – the course proved as rough as it was long. Erdman crashed out of the Pro race due to the extreme nature of the course, fortunately without injury, but was unable to remount.

For his part, Lindbom soldiered to an admirable sixth-place finish in Semi Pro, despite suffering from a cold and fatigue – and then having to slow with brake fade in his aftermarket racing brake.

Congratulations Ben – and all the other Yamaha racers – on your Ironman efforts!

Ellis Takes first in Pro-Lite at Silverdome

Team Jimmy John’s visited the the Pontiac Silverdome of NFL lore in Detroit Michigan this past weekend for Round 7 of the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series and put another rider on the top box of the podium.

The stadium drew the largest single one day attendance for an ISOC national this season— despite fears that a snowless winter would hamper the event.

Crowds were on the edge of their seats, as the world’s best snocross athletes battled it out on the tight, short course.

The compact indoor set-up provided excellent viewing of the course, but created an agitated environment for athletes, as they fought for position—spilling many of them over the banks.

Team Jimmy John’s qualifying rounds showed Ellis, Watkinson and Morin running extremely fast-drawing their full attention to picking smart lines while attempting to avoid hard contact with the hungry field of athletes.

The intensity of the action on the course paralleled the sport of Roller Derby athletes-where its all about getting to the front, no matter who gets trampled in the process.

In the Pro-Lite class- both Ellis and Watkinson rode hard in brutal qualifying rounds and advanced to the main.

At the green, Derek Ellis pulled the hole-shot, railed straight into the bottleneck at turn one and came through in 2nd place just behind Kody Kamm.

Pulling ahead of the rest of the field, Ellis moved into first place with 3 laps to go, after passing Kamm on a stricken sled to take the number one podium slot for the first pro feature of the night.

Watkinson became a casualty of the pandemonium, and lost ground after colliding with another rider mid pack-he finished in the bottom third of the pack.

Mathieu Morin had powerful starts and strong qualifying for the Pro Open putting him on the front line of his main.

At the start, he powered into turn one, where his hopes for a win were derailed when a pounding collision with another sled snapped the tie rod—taking him out of the race.

The team heads to BRP’s hometown for the legendary Grand Prix De Valcourt, this weekend in Valcourt, Quebec Canada. Tune into NBC Sports to on Sunday March 11 at 5PM EDT to watch coverage of the race.

2012 BEST IN CLASS: BEST 150-HORSEPOWER SLED

Staff Report

2012 BEST IN CLASS: BEST 150-HORSEPOWER SLED

WINNER: POLARIS RUSH PRO-R CLEANFIRE 800

MARK’S TAKE:

In 2012, this class provided the closest competition I’ve seen in years. This reality provides a huge opportunity for Kent to be hopelessly confused.

Both of these sleds are exceptional in every area of comparison we subjected them too. For sure, Ski-Doo has nailed the engine equation with E-TEC, yet Kent will completely overlook this reality: The Rush actually launches harder as a result of its uncoupled Pro-Ride external shock skid and can pull the Doo past 70 per.

Kent will also crow the Liberty Cleanfire SDI mill can’t cover the E-TEC’s efficiency while denying he regularly witnessed the Polaris 800 using less oil than the 800 E-TEC.

Okay, the E-TEC does get killer mpg. Don’t forget this reality though, the SDI Cleanfire certifies EPA 2012.

More than this there’s the RUSH’s amazing handling, linear turn-in, rock solid on-center feel and exceptional control in deep whoops.

No one can get away from the Pro-Ride’s bottomless feel either. The skid simply swallows huge craters and stuff you’re sure is gonna hurt, even while you’re seated.

Lastly, Polaris has completely redeemed the Liberty 800. The engine was 100-percent bulletproof last season, never missing a beat in our fleet. Even belt wear was ridiculously good. There were some E-TEC 8 issues.

So, Kent will crow about the Ski-Doo MXZ-X E-TEC 800 and its rMotion skid. However, Polaris earned this BIC for much more than it’s innovative rear suspension.

RUNNER-UP: Ski-Doo MXZ X 800 E-TEC rMotion

KENT’S RESPONSE:

Hmm. Mark seems pretty sure on this decision. I certainly hope my dead-true logic doesn’t crush him too much.

Mark, we’re talking about the lightest snowmobile in the business tied to the most sophisticated 2-stroke snowmobile engine on earth. One plus one still equals two, not three. No wonder you flunked math.

There’s a reason why the MX-Z 800 E-TEC outsold every other big-inch sled in the business last year: It is, simply stated, the ultimate hypersled.

Then Ski-Doo ups the stakes by adding the trickest rising rate skid ever to slide its rails across white-top, rMotion. This profound improvement in a snowmobile that essentially needed no improvement speaks volumes about Ski-Doo’s design team and its iron will to be at the top.

Yes, we heard about some first-year engine glitches and a few customer complaints on the all-new 800. There were still zillions of them that worked flawlessly and Ski-Doo worked double time re-mapping and warranting those issues that nagged.

The 800’s performance is eye-widening, nosebleed inducing and arm stretching from top to bottom.

The MX-Z with an E-TEC 800 was and is the most deserving of this award. I will stand by my decision until Charles is king!

Authentic Quebec – Part 4

Authentic Quebec – Part 4

Perhaps the greatest part about doing a saddlebag trip by snowmobile in Quebec, is no matter where you go you and your snowmobile will be welcomed with open arms. You don’t get upturned noses from places that would rather cater to cross-country skiers dining on tofu and trail mix.

Auberge Beau Lieu was one of these unique places. To be honest, we’re accustomed to being spoiled with upgraded accommodations but the unexpected changes to our schedule the day before made Auberge Beau Lieu our only option at the end of that first long day.

We couldn’t have been happier here. It was a clean room with a bed and a shower. That’s pretty much it and it’s all we needed. It also had a cozy and charming restaurant right next door. Most importantly though, the hospitality was out of this world with the owner and local residents making us feel welcome.

We had arrived pretty late at night, so we celebrated the day’s events with a night-cap and called it a day. The next morning we woke up early and headed next door for an Authentic Quebec breakfast and were quickly back on the trails.

We had another big day planned and during the night the groomers had been out giving us some more peanut butter-like snow-highways to enjoy.

Five miles down the trail we pulled over, did a happy dance and literally got down on our knees and kissed the trail. We were loving every minute of it and now it was time to venture north, up the new pipeline trail with the throttle WFO.

We would take this amazing trail half way to La Toque and then turn East, en route towards our next stay at the wonderful Pouvourie du Lac Blanc.

This part of the ride in the Mauricie region was absolutely gorgeous with snow covered treetops and extreme elevations. We saw a lot of Americans and tour groups from France and it was great to see how positive everyone was after experiencing ideal snow and trail conditions.

Without much confusion this day, we were able to just enjoy the ride and take in everything along the way. We stopped several times for photo ops and this is where Vern used his GoPro to shoot some sweet video. This ride was the stereotypical, perfect ride day snowmobilers dream about all year.

Before it was over though, we did come across a tour group of rookie riders, from France, and one of them learned the hard way just how careful you have to be. He had taken a corner too fast, panicked and hit the throttle instead of the brake which resulted in a get-off that snapped his femur in half.

We arrived just a few minutes after and offered assistance but the experienced guide had already called ahead for help. We didn’t know just how bad the situation was until we bumped into the group at dinner that evening.

Before we knew it, we were following signs to our next stay at Pouvoire du Lac Blanc. The Quebec lodges that truly thrive on snowmobile business always have their own feeder trails leading right to the front door of the establishments.

The owners take great pride in these trails, keeping them groomed silky smooth almost like the red carpet being rolled out for you.

Pouvoirie du Lac Blanc is best known for their excellent fishing and wide variety of outdoor activities. You can play hockey on their custom outdoor rink, go tubing down the snow covered runs, try dog sledding, skiing, snowshoeing or hiking.

When you call, ask them about hydraskiing. Recently the owners made a multi-million dollar investment with the addition of an incredible indoor pool and oversized spa/hot tub that is one of a kind.

We arrived in the evening and were taken on a private tour to see the pool and all we could say was… WOW! The pool has its own light show and the glass ceiling makes you feel like you could reach up and grab the stars. It’s absolutely amazing.

The owners also added a new wing to the lodge with gorgeous rooms overlooking the lake as well as a new lobby with slate floors and a spectacular fireplace. When you walk in the door you just know your departure is going to come too soon.

The downstairs bar is more of the same atmosphere with fireplaces and warmth with a buzz of excitement while the upstairs dining room serves up traditional French-Canadian cuisine that’ll satisfy even the toughest critic.

Pouvoirie Lac Blanc is a magical, romantic and extremely fun place to stay, whether you’re a snowmobiler or just a lover of the great outdoors.

2013 POLARIS 800 Pro-RMK 155

The very definition of Terrain Domination in the 2013 Polaris snowmobile lineup is the undisputed king of the mountain, the strong and incredibly lightweight 800 Pro-RMK 155 – the most flickable sled on the snow with the innovative QuickDrive Low Inertia Belt Drive System and dry weight of just 417 pounds!

This dynamic new sled is being introduced on February 10, in advance of the rest of the 2013 models, which will be revealed to the public March 5.

The new 800 Pro-RMK 155 provides mountain and deep snow riders with exactly what they need for Terrain Domination: A strong, lightweight – 417 pounds – flickable chassis and outstanding power.

The 800 Pro-RMK 155 features strong, lightweight materials and components such as the QuickDrive Low Inertia Drive system, the first belt drive system in production snowmobiles.

The complete system – lightweight brake, extruded drive shaft and maintenance-free belt drive in place of a chaincase – reduces sled weight by more than 6.5 pounds, and provides a 21% reduction in rotational inertia for enhanced efficiency and acceleration.

This Pro-RMK model has carbon fiber overstructure for strength and light weight, and the belly pan and suspension torque arms are also lighter yet strong and durable.

All-new PowderTrac Running Boards are strong, high-traction platforms consisting of minimal structure for the lightest weight and ample open space for optimal snow evacuation.

The 800 Pro-RMK 155 is built on the strong, ultra-stiff PRO-RIDE Chassis, which is 300% more rigid and is the most flickable chassis on the snow. A rider enjoys precise control with less effort.

The RMK Coil-Over Rear Suspension is the ultimate deep snow suspension. Equipped with premium Walker Evans shocks, this suspension delivers outstanding flotation and deep-snow performance, and offers an improved on-trail ride.

The PRO-RIDE RMK Adjustable IFS also has Walker Evans shocks and the ski stance is adjustable to 39, 40, and 41 inches. This sled is powered by the 800 Cleanfire engine, which provides outstanding throttle response for instant acceleration and automatically calibrates as elevation and temperature change.

A rider enjoys greater maneuverability and enhanced riding comfort with the new Pro-Lite Seat. The tail of this new seat is 5.5″ shorter so it’s easier to throw a leg over. The front of the seat is flatter and over 2.5″ wider for greater comfort, and the seat is lighter, as is the strong new seat support.

Photos and complete details about the new Pro-RMK are available on the Polaris snowmobile home page at: www.terraindomination.com.
