Finally!!!! That was the first word that came out from the mouth of SledMagazine team when they heard about the arrival of Polaris in the long-term trials. People working for Polaris made a great choice by providing the select model, but we have time to catch up with Polaris range in the last years. We have to admit, interest was very high! Certainly we did some daily trials but we didn’t have all the opportunities to test the snowmobile for further details… Our wish was granted for the 2007-2008 season because Polaris made a big entrance in the popular and exclusive long-term trials concept, with nothing else but the Dragon Switchback 700. Its revival winds on the Polaris snowmobile division, that’s promising. Represented by a new team for the Quebec region, we noticed the preoccupations they have for their consumers, dealers and also Quebec Medias. It’s a huge challenge for a pre-season analysis… As a matter of fact, we didn’t really have the chance to try the IQ chassis in the last years, even the engine evolution and shocks.
