I would like to put a hundred or so miles on it, then decide.
I rode a 2011 Pro Rmk 163" last year when I was out in Island Park, ID...awesome sled...if I was in the market for a brand new one, I just might've had to jump ship
Also heard that they ran 12lbs or 15lbs of boost on one too last year and that it worked amazing.

Looks like an amazing ride that's for sure! How much hp do these run?
Not sure on the 600 but I think the Liberty twin 800's are pushing somewhere in the 150's.
I saw the specs and it looks like the dry weight is in the 460's

A guy in town has a Rush 800 with the retro paint scheme. Sweet looking sled. Took it for a little spin. Rode nice.

The 2012 800R are 143 HP. About 20 less than the competition, doo & cat 800's are 163 ish. Not sure about the 600's.
If true, surprising, but also a shame. I know the polaris 900 motors were heavily de-tuned.

Thats what's listed HP numbers in the latest AmSnow magazine.

one of the guys I ride with has a 2011 800. I tried it out and that is a perfect analogy.

I just wish they would finish the tunnel off. too strange looking with no real benefit. not lighter. I rode the new doo 800r with the rmotion and think thats what I would get if I had the cash and was looking for that style sled

I dont like that Rush skid at all. Its really sucks if compare it too Doo SC5 or Lynx PPS. Center shock travel is too short and its bottoming all the time...and it dont ride like a dirt bike. My money would go to Doo and to Lynx for hardcore punisment.

I always thought they look kind of stupid. Looks like a Pro-Action skid with the shock outside the track. Had a few of the 600's ride with us and the riders always look like they are going to fall off the back.
