@happy indeed I’m not sure what I did there lol someone mentioned it when I first uploaded it and i must of done something screwy in the editor… I no longer have the original footage, so I can’t fix it.
@@rockspowersports ya got over 500 miles in it since late January, it's a beast got it up to 101mph on Sunday finally breaking triple digits lol, and of course a week after I bought it my dealer gets a 850 switchback xcr in 🙃 still extremely satisfied to be able to own such sled like this at only 21 years old!
kyle cotto that’s awsome! And it’s pretty easy to add up the miles on these new sleds. The 850’s were hard to come by here in Vermont too when I was shopping around. At least you know you have a proven 800 liberty under the hood though.

Whats the oil consumption like on the newer 2 strokes nowadays? Sold my 3 4 stroke turbos last year and thinking about a 2 stoke for next winter. Is it a pita or a quart every few tanks ? I have no clue.
@Cee Bee There really not that bad.. I usually run about 1000 miles per year and each year I use maybe 1.5 gallons of oil. So I’d say probably 1 quart for 2 tanks for fuel. This is my personal experience with this 600 Indy. I know the ski-doo etecs get a bit better than that.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a new sled. My problem is trying to decide on a 129-137 track length. Think I'd like the 1.35 cobra, or maybe a 1.25 Backcountry (if they make that)
@Kevin Either track length is good. If you stick to mostly trails the 129 is a very nice length it bridges the moguls nicely and is very easy to throw around in the corners. The 137 however will have better flotation off the trail… this sled here is a 129” with the 1.35 cobra and I really do like this set up.
@@rockspowersports but... In your humble opinion.... I'm a rider who is newer (used to ride all the time as a kid), and I only have enough to spend on 1 machine (I would use my older 2010 rush as a sled for friends and family along with my 2002 zr600)... I've also ridden an assault, which I hated in the tight trails.... If I'm gonna drop this amount of money on a sled.... Wish I could test ride one. I'm thinking the 129 cobra with light studs.....
@@Kevin-ix4qz if you liked the nimble feeling of your rush then if I was you I’d go with the 129. I drove this one for a few hundred miles without studs and it was very fun in the corners as you could spin through them. however due to a couple icy close calls i installed 90ish studs(2 per row) and it made a huge improvement on ice but I did notice it pushed more in the corners. So I wouldn’t recommend anymore studs than that.
@@rockspowersports Minnesota. But renting a sled here, all they have is the skidoo with a 600 ace motor. And it's about 500 a day to rent. For that money, I'll just keep mine... Know what I mean? I wish there was a demo day around here. Thanks for your reply and advice. (I can't stomach dropping 12-15k without a test drive! Urg!)
Even when it's warm I'll ride with thin mechanics gloves... The wind at higher speeds will suck the heat right out of your hands even on a 45 degree day
Nice vid !!! Really enjoyed it . Just got a new 2020 XC 137 800 this weekend . Absolutely love it !!!! I kept my 2015 600 etec for my wife to ride .
Doktor Dice Hey thanks, and that’s awesome these new XC’s are great machines!
Can it do wheelies?
Sure can!
@@rockspowersports Alright sweet
How did your throttle go from left side to right side and brake from left side to right side? I dont think the camera could do that.
Juho Rantakangas I’m not really sure, it must be something with the video editor that I messed up...
@@rockspowersports 😂I was wondering why would you flip your handlebars while riding. But i guess the new technology is weird
How you do that trick photography? Throttle block and key switch on left side after you got stuck wth?
@happy indeed I’m not sure what I did there lol someone mentioned it when I first uploaded it and i must of done something screwy in the editor… I no longer have the original footage, so I can’t fix it.
What kind of microphone set up and camera do you have really comes threw clear just wondering I'm in the market for a similar set up nice video.
It’s a go pro hero 8 and I’m not sure on the mic, It was a cheap one on amazon.
Looks like a solid sled, I just dumped 18k on a brand new fully studded 2020 800 switchback xcr, it's a beast
I bet that thing is a beast! Can’t beat polaris

@@rockspowersports thanks for the quick reply. 👍
That sled goes good off trail. What size lug is on that track?
This one has the 1.35 cobra
Hey rock how ypu liking the 600 so far im interested in 1 i like how freakin light polaris is
I have been very pleased with this sled so far. The 129” version of the xc is very light and nimble. I have no complaints so far.
did you adjust your coil springs yet or just the torsion spings?
I only adjusted the torsion springs and the clickers thats about it.
Rock Ovitt ah mine sags a bit too much and I have the torsions on high just curious if that rear coil spring would make it sag less.
Michael Duggan Ya I’m not sure I like were I have mine set right now so I’m probably not going to mess with them.
When you try and reverse out of a spot like that, get off and walk along side it.
Thanks for the advice

Hc y9u didnt wheelie out??
Edward Abraham III I don’t know I probably should of
does she wheelie good?
This sled does wheelie pretty good. Nothing like an assault but it doesn’t take much to get the skis off the ground.
Left side throttle after u get stuck now looks freaky
Ya i noticed that afterwards, i messed something up with that part of the video and it somehow had a mirror effect...
We have a 600 and an 800 and the 600 sounds better, revs up better and is just crisper. I prefer the motor but I like the 800 power.
I know exactly what you mean!
Next investment should be some gloves
Shawn Farrell It was pretty warm that day, however I do wished I had them when I was unburying the sled...
