Hey at 9:30, you hate the seat, why was it so loose? I'm just wondering, I'm contemplating the sks or assault this year..gotta watch more videos on em...great video by the way
So I did have the latch completely secured properly once I got it figured out didn't have anymore problems after that and thanks for the support man! I have a few videos from both my sks and the assault 146
@@KotaBearTV im in sudbury, Ontario, Canada...trying to figure what's the best sled between sks and assault..lol..I'm just not sure the sks overheating kinda thing
Thanks man!! We had some good snow for a week but unfortunately mother nature had other plans. I just want to say I am a huge fan of yours ive been watching your videos for years!! Love the dream house build keep up the great work!!
Growing up as a teenager I rode sled all the time. 20 years ago I broke my arm ditch banging and haven't rode since lol. I wanna get back into it but it doesn't hardly snow up here anymore
I’d like to ride around town but we have nothing at all. So we are making a few trips out west this year and maybe Michigan a few times. If it’s not coming here I’ll go find it!!
@@KotaBearTV I have always driving heavy Yamahas, and am now the trail tanks since moving to a 144" x 1.6" It's so fun to run around the 121's on days like this. They truly did get the most out of them in your video. Keep up the great work!
Kota! Hands down the best at giving reviews! I've been contemplating between an sks and a switchback assault and I'm still a bit undecided. Leaning towards the assault. Love the honest commentary and raw footage. It'd be sweet to ride with you one day. Keep on shredding! Looking forward to seeing more footage!
@@KotaBearTV yeah I'm leaning towards the assault. Most my buddies ride a lot of trail, but I like to jet off trail and mess around. I'm thinking the assault would give me a good mix of both. I'd like to do some mountain riding too but it's going to be limited. We are all getting old ya know lol
What an epic way to break in the new sled, that is like RMK deep snow. At first as soon as I saw those little 121 inch tracks I was like no way those things are going to get stuck lol. I would love to see what the matrix headlight beam does on highbeam, maybe next time you do a video at night. They say the matrix LED headlight is supposed to be really bright but The AXYS headlight is also LED and really bright, would you say the matrix headlight is brighter?
Ya do a lot of riding around the North Shore area. Average 150 inches of snow up there. And also Bemidji area northwestern MN. Looking forward to more videos. Have a 2015 pro s switchback 800 with over 8,000 miles. So buying a new VR1 or Assualt next year. Keep the videos coming. Hope your snow stays.
Thags awsome and if you get a new vr1 or and assault you are gonna love either they are both great sleds!! 150 inches a year is good we usually only get like 80 so good start so far
@@KotaBearTV i live in pa we rode Potter County and Lycoming County. There was lots of sleds out. Potter country is about 1 hour or so from ny where rt6 is
hey, what did you think of the sled? im contemplating getting a ski doo backcountry xrs or a 2021 Assualt, my dealer has one that is slightly used for 15k and it looks great. Did you have the the 2 inch track?
Hey man. I dont know if you will see this but I was wondering whats your current setup to record you riding because I want to start recording soon. Thanks dude, great video
I hear ya zac I live by the wisconsin border in illinois and we ain't got shit and now it's 50 out lol I'm itching more than a damn junkie!! I need me some throttle therapy ya know
@@KotaBearTV i got around 60 miles on it now its very similar to my 2004 mxz renegade 600 ho carb power wise cuz piston size on the ski-doo 600 is 72mm bore an stroke is 73mm. An polaris 650 is 74.8mm bore an 74mm stroke ima line em up an race em man.
You were excited about the SKS and then you were really looking forward to this rig. Good for you with this dump, north west Maine only has about a foot from the last snow, nothing from this. I know you like heading this way, maybe we’ll run into each other. Congratulations Polaris brother. 😊❤️🇺🇸☃️❄️🛷🔥⛺️🌄
The sks was an amazing sled but all the new options on the matryx I had to switch back they are both very good and capable sleds and yeah ill be in Maine the end of February so hope they get some good snow then!!
Congratulations on being the first video showing the new LED headlight. So how is it compared to the AXYS LED? It really looks like it has too much of a focused beam, it could just be the video though. So what are your thoughts?
So it is a very focused beam but you can still see around the beam its just not as bright so I would say it is better than the axys lights those were also the low beams not high beams
That is what I've been told this next storm might go to high north and we might get some rain lets hope not but I'm sure give it a few weeks and you will have more snow than us!
Regardless of the outcome I'm glad you had a chance to rip! Congrats on the new sled, have fun out there and stay safe. Thanks for the content looking forward to your videos! CHEERS MY FRIEND!!
You should also have filming "more" of the others sleds so we could se how hard and problem they had and how slow they go in the deep snow and of course so we also could se how and when they get stuck 😊.
All snowmobiles through a GoPro all sound like they are blown up or blowing up lol.. Polaris, skidoo all of them haha. Nice sled.. hopefully you don’t get the spark plug problems continuing with yours. My buddies last year even at 1000 miles still Would foul plugs if it idled More then a couple Mins.
Awesome video man. I’m going to snow check an Assault 146 this spring. What track did you end up choosing? Tempted to do the 2”, but I ride a lot of high speed trails also and don’t want to sacrifice top speed as much. Tough call
I got the 2 inch lug i will get a top speed test video up later in season on a lake so you can see but the 2 inch is great but idk how well it will hold up if you ride alot of hard pack trail at fast speeds
I rode 800 miles last year on my sks146 with 2.25 inch lug prob 400 miles on hard pack trail and it did fine other than the few stumps I hit under the snow that the only reason I had 2 lugs missing
Lucky. My rmk has fucked up 3 times already since I got it and Ive only got to use it like a total of 3 days. It seized days after I got it and after 3000$ in repairs its fucked again for now. Sucks cause theres a foot of snow coming tonight and theres no possible way mines fixed in time
@@KotaBearTV ye the owners lied about it. Said it was completely rebuilt with 200 miles on new motor and they never mentioned it had like 4 owners plus used in the mines. No way I ever EVER would have chosen it if I knew that
@@KotaBearTV just coming back to say my brothers fucking 2015 polaris assault 800 just seized 10 minutes ago. It had 400 miles on it and it was his first real ride on it this year. Not just in the yard
I've got a '21 Matryx Assault myself but have no snow here yet in MN. Would love to see that snow over here! I had a few triples over the years too and heard those screaming in your video. I know they're heavy pigs, but I still love that sound! ;)
No not really polaris has modes built in for break in so it already puts extra oil in for the first 10 hours of riding and extra gas for the first 2 hours so really you just gotta get out and ride but don't just hold the throttle to the bar right out of the gate and if you do only do it for 2 or 3 seconds ans get off it
Sks definitely better off trail.. I kinda wish they had the gripper skis on the assault this years also not a huge fan of the grippers.. assault the rear skid eats the bumps up on trail better and the narrower gas tank up front makes it super easy to transfer weight into the corner
So unfortunately I'm having issues with my seat I latch it down properly so it doesn't budge and then I start riding lean to get on one ski and the front pops off for some reason its a huge pain but I think I'm the only one having the issue..
If you took of the rear plastic support with the 1/4 turn and put it too far back, it’s possible the front mount isn’t fully engaging. Front interface/attachment is identical to Axys.
Kota B - Good to see you back at it Posting. I've been watching you for a long time now and I really enjoy your content. To bad you had that one guy comment about your riding but great come back! It's Very difficult to ride in 3 to 4 feet of snow and you did Great along with the guys on the shorties too! Keep up the Great work and enjoy the new sled. I hope your job situation and things work out too.
Thanks bro for all the kind words 🙏 I really appreciate it... people are always disrespectful i try to not worry about it and I hope so too hopefully find something good soon
@@KotaBearTV , as a Business Owner, I can tell you "anything Goes", when you are working with the public, I think you have the right attitude though , don't worry about it , just keep being you as you are doing a great job, FYI, I trust your opinion on Sleds , no matter the brand much more then others , as you sincerely try to keep things unbiased ...Good for you ... People want honesty today more then ever!
Thanks for the kind words it means alot to me and yes I try to keep everything as unbiased as I can becuase when it comes down to sleds they all have things that are great and things that people dislike its just how it is and some people ride different than others so one works better for them... I appreciate the comment and ride safe!
Great video and I'm jealous that you got that much snow down there (I'm in Huntsville Ontario). Silky question is your display supposed to be flickering they way it was?
Great Video, I am jealous , awesome Snow .... Cant wait to get my Riot out and play :) Heading to the Snow on the 26th of Dec, to Grand Mesa, CO. Great Job on Video!
@@KotaBearTV , Love Riot, got it in 2020, sweet Deal for the Jing... I was able to put over 1000 miles on it last year(riding in Southwest) , I'm about 65% trail(MOSTLY UNGROOMED) 35% off , Best Handling Sled I have owned ... Power Increased over time , along with Top Speed. I do a lot of Trail breaking , ungroomed Forestry Trail Riding , and man , the Riot did everything I was hoping for , no more getting stuck, Feels very confident Riding pretty much anywhere I need to go know... I did do 2 Mods... Installed MBRP Trail Can, and a Earth X Lithium Battery , between the both I dropped about 15lbs from Weight of Sled... Oil Consumption has been good , Not bad MPG either for a 800 2 Stroke... First Time a Spring Checked a Sled , and I dont regret it at all ... Meadow Play has been a blast , I love jumping with the sled, hehe... In 2020 Price was @ 11,799 in US, with QS3 shocks..lots of extra Goodies that other charge extra for... So, been riding 15+ years , this Sled was one of the best buys I ever had... :) You all are having a Great start of the Season, Enjoy yourself, have a blast and Be Safe, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you , and your Family!
Thats awsome man I'm happy for you when I rode the riot it was definitely a slick machine and you definitely can't go wrong for that price merry Christmas to you to and ride safe!!
Is that breaking in the motor correctly just wondering my VR1 did not come in yet. I want to break in the rite way they these Polaris motors need to be in broken correctly from what I'm hearing.
Technically it is not the full on correct way to break them in but don't put oil in the gas tank the oil pump is set up were it automatically puts in the right amount and honeslty this is how I broke in my last 2 850s I had and I had no issues so its comes down to just being lucky or not lucky
I thought the whole video was going you be you pulling on a Yamaha ski lol. Great sled you have there. Looking forward to some more of your videos. Where's the link to your swag?
It was such a good time and the seat keeps disconnecting on the front for some reason really pissing me off pretty sure I broke it hopefully I get a solution for it soon
@@KotaBearTV not much to the seats these days. Surprised they don't all break off. I got the comfy seat for my gade. Not a big fan of doos G4 narrow seat for my fat ass.
@@KotaBearTV The youngins all stand....I hate standing, need a comfy seat. Hope it is an easy fix brotha! Put 3k miles on that pig so you can get the 2022 next yr.
So far from what I've rode is it handles the corners alittle better but its not as playful as the sks was and it definitely does not wheelie as good at all either but its still a very good sled and love the new 7s display and the new regulated hand guards
I'm in upstate NY the big Noreaster gave us some good snow!! Hopefully you guys get some good snow before mid feburary cause ill be up there around then
The sled feels very good i like the smaller tank up front feels way better doesn't feel like the tank is spreading your legs anymore uncomfortably the 7s display is amazing I leave maps up most of the ride becuase it is so nice to see where the trail is if you are not familiar and the new heated hand grips is a game changer
Ggb or slp but I think I'm gonna stay stock don't really have the money to waste right now and going to Maine they are really strict up there acouple guys in my group got tickets last year
@@KotaBearTV nah man unfortunetly not i have the money to finnaly all saved up but with the economy like it is and my dads in the resteraunt bussiness i have to help my family out incase things dont get better but i will definetly in the future and u and rev rider got the sleds i would buy today if so !!!!!! i miss my xf1100 turbo so much man sledding is my passion bro so its nice to see regular guys like me doing what ur doing bro i used to have a lake house in ossipee nh and lost most everything after a bad split and some tough times but ill get there again hopefully come riding with u guys!!! keep living ur dream man !!!!!
I hear you it is never fun to have to start over im kinda in the same boat I lost my job last month so this won't be able to get a new sled next year and hopefully I'll be able to keep this sled.. and thats great that you will help out your family in need most people wont!

what part of alaska are you from?
Almost got stuck today lol
Nice man!! How much snow where you playing in!!

Those are some great sleds for there time!!! And with alittle work still great sleds today!!
where at?? here in northern lower peninsula michigan there isn’t shit but a couple of inches.
I'm in upstate NY we finnally got blessed for once in a big storm
Ordered a 2022..not sure if I like the new headlight after watching this video
I hear you I think I like my axys headlight more also
honisly with that much snow is was thinking i would see a lot more wheelies and carving
Snow was way to powdery to get the front end up enough and I'm not that skilled to do re entry yet lol
Awesome video, I’m hoping to pick up an Assault 146, I hear the Matryx was an amazing upgrade.
The matryx is definitely way better than the axys
Great video! Wish there was snow like that here in Mn👍👍
You and me both!
I can’t wait to see an rmk in the matryx chassis
Same would be cool to see for sure!!
LOL! I love those old Yamaha triples except in the deep stuff.
They are great sleds and they held there own the other day for sure!!
Wow where was this around Binghamton? Heard they got hammered.
About 50 miles northwest is where this was we got 30ish inches Binghamton got over 40 inches

I heard possibly a foot up there in 2 days should be some good riding
Yeah , Monday night into Tuesday..so I live in Maine

i had the 2 inch track on and i prefer the polaris over the skidoo but both are very good sleds
They need too bring back 2 stroke triples on the forward rider sleds
Hell yeah man that would be insane!!

Thanks man everyone keeps telling me out mid west you guys don't have anything yet which is crazy last year you guys got hammered!! Ride safe!!
It looks like it`s perfect for back country riding. What`s with the seat moving ? do you have a faulty seat
It sure is and I think my seat is faulty yes the part in the front that the latch goes in to is twisted..
Snowmobile Sounds beautiful dude, love the channel keep up the great work.
Thanks!! I appreciate the support!!
As soon as the video started and I seen that triple short track Yamaha that it was gonna be the first one stuck lol
Hahahah ikr!!
I really like that Snowmachine sometime I might get that kind of Snowmachine
Its a riot man if u can get your hands on one you should!
Awesome video ! the speedo on mph ? I'm trying to figure if that sled I want or the 155 ? I'll have to keep watching
Yes the speedo is mph and it all depends on where your gonna ride i know the 146 can handle some deep snow and still rip the trails!
The Matryx looks like a BLAST! Wish we had that much snow here in Illinois HAHA
Its a fun sled for sure!! I'm sure you guys will get some snow soon and I know if you don't you will go to thr UP which ik jealous of!!

Overall how do you like your assault 146? I just snow checked two of them. It seem to pop up in the deep stuff really well?
I like it for sure the sks was better off trail but the assault can handle its own for sure it gets on top of the deep snow and goes
That screen flashes
It doesn't its just how the go pro picks it up
Congratulations on being the first video showing the new LED headlight. So how is it compared to the AXYS LED? It really looks like it has too much of a focused beam, it could just be the video though. So what are your thoughts?
So it is a very focused beam but you can still see around the beam its just not as bright so I would say it is better than the axys lights those were also the low beams not high beams
@@KotaBearTV So when you can we need a direct comparison video when you are along side of a Axys style sled. Merry Christmas
Thats a good idea ill try to make it happen no one near me has one though so it will have to be when I'm up north or something
Make sure you adjust per manual to get full performance😉
I had two of those sleds in high school. Tooling around on those things was so fun. When do your trails open?
Hell yeah and unfourtantely the 23rd they open down here
YOU LUCKY BUGGER! WE barely have snow!! And I'm Canadian!! We usually get blasted!
That is what I've been told this next storm might go to high north and we might get some rain lets hope not but I'm sure give it a few weeks and you will have more snow than us!
Regardless of the outcome I'm glad you had a chance to rip! Congrats on the new sled, have fun out there and stay safe.

No not really polaris has modes built in for break in so it already puts extra oil in for the first 10 hours of riding and extra gas for the first 2 hours so really you just gotta get out and ride but don't just hold the throttle to the bar right out of the gate and if you do only do it for 2 or 3 seconds ans get off it
Hope those aren't productive hay fields. Apt to be some stripes in them come spring.
Well farmer gave us permission and some of them were corn fields but snow was so deep you couldn't c it
How does this compare to your sks last year? on and off trail?
Sks definitely better off trail.. I kinda wish they had the gripper skis on the assault this years also not a huge fan of the grippers.. assault the rear skid eats the bumps up on trail better and the narrower gas tank up front makes it super easy to transfer weight into the corner
'Whats going on with your seat? looks like it wasn't latched down.
So unfortunately I'm having issues with my seat I latch it down properly so it doesn't budge and then I start riding lean to get on one ski and the front pops off for some reason its a huge pain but I think I'm the only one having the issue..
@@KotaBearTV
Thanks for the reply, let us know how that works out.
Will do sir
If you took of the rear plastic support with the 1/4 turn and put it too far back, it’s possible the front mount isn’t fully engaging. Front interface/attachment is identical to Axys.
wow that head light is the shits.. great for upclose.. but can't see shit down trail..
That was only on low beam you can see pretty damn good!
Adjust it and it is better than Axys.
good video. that blue from the headlight is strange
Its the new headlight its more of a confined beam it works really good should have had them on high beam to show how good they are
Great start to the season! Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Thanks man!! I appreciate the support!
Broke my new pro 163 in the same way was crazy deep in bc this weekend.
Breaking it in right then!!!
Ya Baby! now thats snoooooow!
Oh yeah!! All thought its all gone now :(
Just wondering why you Burp the throttle all the time ?
Good? All the videos I used to watch when I was younger everyone did it well they played in the powder and then it stuck when I ride in deep snow
@@KotaBearTV If it works do it .
Yeah im not sure of it helps me or hurts me to be honest
Kota B - Good to see you back at it Posting. I've been watching you for a long time now and I really enjoy your content. To bad you had that one guy comment about your riding but great come back! It's Very difficult to ride in 3 to 4 feet of snow and you did Great along with the guys on the shorties too! Keep up the Great work and enjoy the new sled. I hope your job situation and things work out too.
Thanks bro for all the kind words 🙏 I really appreciate it... people are always disrespectful i try to not worry about it and I hope so too hopefully find something good soon
@@KotaBearTV , as a Business Owner, I can tell you "anything Goes", when you are working with the public, I think you have the right attitude though , don't worry about it , just keep being you as you are doing a great job, FYI, I trust your opinion on Sleds , no matter the brand much more then others , as you sincerely try to keep things unbiased ...Good for you ... People want honesty today more then ever!
Thanks for the kind words it means alot to me and yes I try to keep everything as unbiased as I can becuase when it comes down to sleds they all have things that are great and things that people dislike its just how it is and some people ride different than others so one works better for them... I appreciate the comment and ride safe!
Great video and I'm jealous that you got that much snow down there (I'm in Huntsville Ontario). Silky question is your display supposed to be flickering they way it was?
So it was never actually flickering when I was riding but for some reason the go pro picks it up that way for some reason
@@KotaBearTV gotcha just something I noticed.
No problem thanks for saying something you never know
That’s how LED displays on video. LED displays and headlights flicker on video because of the difference in rate.
I knew it was something because my pidd Guage from last year did it also
Here in Alaska there are no trails and the 137 does better it turns better builds up with less ice and is faster
Its all about preference the 137 is way better for trail but the 144 is the best 50 50 on and off
Great Video, I am jealous , awesome Snow .... Cant wait to get my Riot out and play :) Heading to the Snow on the 26th of Dec, to Grand Mesa, CO. Great Job on Video!
One question I had for ya, what was going on with your seat, is that a known issue or ?
Thats awsome and have you got to ride your riot yet how did you like it?
The seat so far I am the only one who has had the issue as far as I know but time will tell
@@KotaBearTV , Love Riot, got it in 2020, sweet Deal for the Jing... I was able to put over 1000 miles on it last year(riding in Southwest) , I'm about 65% trail(MOSTLY UNGROOMED) 35% off , Best Handling Sled I have owned ... Power Increased over time , along with Top Speed. I do a lot of Trail breaking , ungroomed Forestry Trail Riding , and man , the Riot did everything I was hoping for , no more getting stuck, Feels very confident Riding pretty much anywhere I need to go know... I did do 2 Mods... Installed MBRP Trail Can, and a Earth X Lithium Battery , between the both I dropped about 15lbs from Weight of Sled... Oil Consumption has been good , Not bad MPG either for a 800 2 Stroke... First Time a Spring Checked a Sled , and I dont regret it at all ... Meadow Play has been a blast , I love jumping with the sled, hehe... In 2020 Price was @ 11,799 in US, with QS3 shocks..lots of extra Goodies that other charge extra for... So, been riding 15+ years , this Sled was one of the best buys I ever had... :) You all are having a Great start of the Season, Enjoy yourself, have a blast and Be Safe, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you , and your Family!
Thats awsome man I'm happy for you when I rode the riot it was definitely a slick machine and you definitely can't go wrong for that price merry Christmas to you to and ride safe!!
Is that breaking in the motor correctly just wondering my VR1 did not come in yet. I want to break in the rite way they these Polaris motors need to be in broken correctly from what I'm hearing.
Technically it is not the full on correct way to break them in but don't put oil in the gas tank the oil pump is set up were it automatically puts in the right amount and honeslty this is how I broke in my last 2 850s I had and I had no issues so its comes down to just being lucky or not lucky
Hhhmmm etec motors just do it them selves hahahaha
What’s up with the seat?
The seat is having issues if you don't push down super hard when you latch it....it doesn't always latch properly
I’d like to see a Polaris razor on portals an 40s play around in the snow 🤟
Looks like you gonna have to put a ratchet strap around that seat lol Jealous you guys got huge snow nothing here in Michigan
Gonna have to figure something out lol and did you guys get anything in the UP yet?
Polaris rzr on portals would be insane in this snow I bet it wouldn't get stuck!
I’m just trying to find what state he lives in
Upstate NY
Nice vid,,, Nice sled,,,Nice conditions !!!
Thats what I'm saying we haven't had a storm like that here sense 2017
Great vid. It was painful watching those older sleds.
Lol they were struggling but it was still fun
I thought the whole video was going you be you pulling on a Yamaha ski lol. Great sled you have there. Looking forward to some more of your videos. Where's the link to your swag?
@@patrickblahosky8641 i havnt released any merch yet still working on a few things hopefully by February i will have it out
Looks like a blast!! What’s the deal with the seat??
It was such a good time and the seat keeps disconnecting on the front for some reason really pissing me off pretty sure I broke it hopefully I get a solution for it soon
@@KotaBearTV not much to the seats these days. Surprised they don't all break off. I got the comfy seat for my gade. Not a big fan of doos G4 narrow seat for my fat ass.
Yeah well it just sucks because I love the sled but hate the seat..
@@KotaBearTV The youngins all stand....I hate standing, need a comfy seat. Hope it is an easy fix brotha! Put 3k miles on that pig so you can get the 2022 next yr.
Idk if I'm gonna be able to make it work to get a new one next year unfourtantely lost my job so running on fumes
Still no snow around me in Wisconsin :(
I'm sry to here hopefully you get some good snow soon!
@@KotaBearTV Great video and sled!!
Thanks man appreciate it!!
damn, that 146 is a trail maker!
That it is for sure!!
Hey Kota how does is compare to your Sks? :)
So far from what I've rode is it handles the corners alittle better but its not as playful as the sks was and it definitely does not wheelie as good at all either but its still a very good sled and love the new 7s display and the new regulated hand guards
Well I guess I wait for the new SKS 2022 :) I have now a Rmk 850 2019 and my track hate me ( to much trails)
I hear you the tracks really don't hold up.to well for sure
What track do you have and are you running studs?
I have the 2 inch track no studs
Cool vid! Where do you ride?
This video is upstate NY but I ride all over tug hill old forge and go to Maine once a year
Where’s all the snow at? Minnesota there is no more than 4 inches in the state
This was upstate NY but 50 degrees tommrow...
Thanks Kota bear, great content👍
Thanks bud I appreciate it!!
Love the videos don’t worry about the haters 👍
Thanks bro means alot.. thanks for all the support bro
Do you live in Canada because parks of Canada is getting hit by a big snow storm
No I live in upstate NY ww got hit hard last week with that noreaster
@@KotaBearTV oh right now I am getting hit by a snow storm
@@thegriffithfarms5375 that is awsome how much you think you guys will get?
@@KotaBearTV I am on the edge of the storm but hopefully 1 to 2 feet
That would be awsome!! What do you ride?
Love your vids Kota. Just got my 21' sks... only 70 miles on er
Thats awsome man I just hit 60 I think and so what did you go with the 146 or the 155?
@@KotaBearTV 146! I figure I can always go 155 if I need to 😀
Hell yeah I'm not sure where you ride but the 146 with the 2.25 honestly is enough to do almost anything
Where are you at? In Maine we got 7-8 in
I'm in upstate NY the big Noreaster gave us some good snow!! Hopefully you guys get some good snow before mid feburary cause ill be up there around then
@@KotaBearTV what part do u ride?
We rode up towards jackman and lake parlin area up to near Canada border
I enjoyed watching that, thank you
Where is this at? I’m in Wisconsin with only half a foot
This was at upstate NY but we lost it all..
Where is this?
Upstate NY last year
Looks like fun, thanks for the vid
Thanks bud!! Ride safe!
@@KotaBearTV now that you’ve had some time on the Matryx, what do you think?
The sled feels very good i like the smaller tank up front feels way better doesn't feel like the tank is spreading your legs anymore uncomfortably the 7s display is amazing I leave maps up most of the ride becuase it is so nice to see where the trail is if you are not familiar and the new heated hand grips is a game changer
Is this Upstate NY?
yes sir it is
@@KotaBearTV Nice man. I used to ride powerlines in Pittstown & Brunswick. Then of course Tugghill
Hell yeah man hopefully next week tug hill gets acouple feet so I can rip ip there!! Where do you ride now?
looks fun
Oh it's a blast do you get out and ride??
The way the throttle pulses would bother me unless he doesn't know how to ride
Mabye i dont
Feb 4 or 5
Break it in right...LOL...I didnt hear any bog...Hopefully thats gone! Great video!
I myself never actually had the bog for the most part that only came on the rmks but I think that is all gone now!!
@@KotaBearTV My 2019 Assault 850 has a bog.
I'm sry to hear that man my 850 assault ran flawless did you get the re flash
@@KotaBearTV Yes, it was not that bad, so not really a big deal. But it was there.
Gotcha well as long as you can ride it and have fun thats all that matters
What can you thinking of
Ggb or slp but I think I'm gonna stay stock don't really have the money to waste right now and going to Maine they are really strict up there acouple guys in my group got tickets last year
Nice vid. What was the deal with the seat? Heard some cussing :)
Oh, I read some previous comments. Hopefully it's a quick fix. Far from the heart I always say
Yes and I got it secured properly now and hasn't pooped off in about 160 miles
@@KotaBearTV Pooped? Sounds like it was a shitty situation :)
Get some!
Hell yeah!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!
I know!!!!!!
Yee yee brother
Hell yeah yee yee!!!
I hope that seat problem is isolated. Looks like polaris missed something there. Cheesy.
I hope so too becuase it would really be bad for them because this sled was a home run otherwise
Sport Alaska
