Wow!!! What a great snow accumulation we had this last season. It sure was refreshing to see snow like we haven’t seen for many years and according to the “Farmer’s Almanac” this season could be even better. So much for global warming, hey Al.
This past season has brought about the biggest design changes in CMX history. We have evolved into Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) with the all new bottom to top completely redesigned 800 Polaris Liberty Engine. Polaris has really done a great job refining the design of this incredible new power-plant. It has 4 fuel injectors, 2 located in the crank-case and 1 in each cylinder transfer port area. The injectors in the crank-case deliver fuel at idle and high RPM and the ones in the transfer ports deliver at low and mid engine speeds. This is a big deal, because there are inherent advantages to where you introduce the fuel in a 2 stroke engine in relation to RPM. A nice set of 48 MM throttle bodies deliver the air. This engine is very strong: from the large bearing crankshaft to the mono-cylinder design, it is built for durability and longevity. In bone stock form, this engine produces the most horse-power of any 800 on the market. With CMX enhancements it is even better. The power delivery is electric motor smooth from bottom to top.
Remember the days when you were riding your CMX and you knew that you were on the baddest sled in the land. Well that time has come again. We are back with the BADDEST CMX ever. There was a little gap between the Mod Motors that we used to offer and the ROCK SOLID – TURBO CHARGED – ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTED – MONSTER POWER CMX’s that we are building now. What a great place to be...riding a CMX that will take you wherever you want to go with ease. From boondocking through the trees to the technical challenges of draws and side-hills to the steepest chutes, you will know with great confidence that you will be able to conquer any and all terrain.
On the outside the CMX is still looking sharp, sporting the new “CMX STING RAY” carbon fiber hood. (Color options: Red – Black – Silver Metallic – Blue Metallic and custom colors available) The new vents and dual air intake systems have been refined and have proven to be a great performance enhancement. Inside – the chassis has been redesigned to accommodate the new EFI power plant. The chrome moly steering hoop with integrated foot rest supports was raised 2 _” to fit the new fuel tank. This makes the chassis stronger and more rigid. The chrome moly steering post was redesigned to a T-top style to allow the use of adjustable risers with various heights available. When you first look at the new narrow seat and tank combo, you wonder how well it will work, since we are used to seeing a wider seat for sure. You say it looks like more of a free-style type of seat. Well I’m here to tell you it is unbelievably better than the old wide style. You can move around and from side to side with far greater ease and it puts less strain on your knees because it is narrower from bottom to top. All the CMX test riders gave it a “two thumbs up”. The new chassis design and ergonomic changes have really changed the look of the CMX and the feel is even better. It looks lighter and faster and it is.
The front and rear suspensions have seen refinements as well. We are using CMX spec’d Walker Evans gas charged shocks. They are lighter than any shock we have ever used and the ride quality is fantastic. I have to tell you, we personally rode all the new factory built sleds this past spring in Island Park, ID. It is true that the factory built sleds have come light-years from where they were just a few years ago, but what I discovered was how much easier the CMX was to ride and maneuver in any riding situation. It was a very rewarding eye opener for us to feel first hand. We traded sleds off and on through out the day and every time we were amazed at the difference. This might seem to be a prejudice on our part, but if you consider what makes it real you might agree. The advantages that the CMX has are: CHASSIS EFFICIENCY, PROPER GEOMETRY, and LIGHTWEIGHT.
CHASSIS EFFICIENCY is all about how much rolling resistance the CMX has. It is significantly less than all others. One of the reasons is the CMXDS and the Wahl Bros.
10 tooth anti-ratchet drivers. Of course there are many other reasons, but we don’t want to tell all of our secrets.
PROPER GEOMETRY is the relationship between the CMX and the snow. The CMX has a very flat attack angle (front of track to snow) and the balance between front and rear suspensions maintains the proper geometry that makes the CMX go over and through the snow better than others.
LIGHTWEIGHT is a simple but expensive recipe. The CMX is built with many exotic materials. Titanium, Chrome Moly and Carbon Fiber to name a few. These materials are inherently more expensive, but we are not looking at the cheapest way to build the CMX, we are looking for the BEST.
Remember we don’t just build’em, we ride’em too.
2008-09 CMXDS for Dragon
Now more than ever, is the best time to buy a new CMX. What we have to offer this season is the Lightest, Best Performing & Most Reliable package to date. We are very excited about the CMXDS for the Dragon. Click HERE to see a short video on what our upgrade will do for you!
