2016 Polaris Indy® LXT 550 144 White Lightning

Vast improvement over the Classic and I Q 550s

If rapid acceleration or blinding speed is your thing then pass this machine up. It is very conservative in its performance with a steady but solid run up to about 80 Kph and then a slower increase to a top end around 110 to 120 KPH. As an entry level family touring machine however, it excels. It... pulls like an elephant on steroids and the 144 track has lots of grip on groomed trails. Gas and oil consumption is not anywhere as good as the EFI 2 stroke or 4 strokes but it will run at 60 to 70 KPH and give between 9 to 11 miles to the smaller U S gallon. About 6 Km/Ltr. Hard acceleration and wide open throttle will suck gas out like a shop vac. The handling is solid, predictable and fairly precise on trails but is a little heavy in deep snow. It is a trail machine remember. That 14 inch travel in the rear end is the smoothest ride on any 2 up or single I have ever owned and handles trail humps very well. The windshield is high and wide but it could do with a wind deflector at the knee and leg level. the cargo bag accessory is long, deep and wide and the cargo rack holds everything you need for short touring to ice fishing. Seats are relatively comfy and it holds 2 adults with no problem. Grab handles are adjustable but a little awkward for my taste. They are easily removable. Overall, The rider centric and stability factors of this sled makes this my all time favourite utility/touring sled and I personally am totally happy with it.A great used deal if you find one with low mileage Read Full Review
