Forsale, I have 2 2007 Polaris 440 race snowmobiles. These were used soley for practice, but being that I was out of town most of the winter these snowmobiles have VERY low hours. Less than 100 miles.
Both sleds are in SHOWROOM condition and come with 96studs and 10" carbides.
The shocks are valved for snocross but can easily be revalved to make a suitable but aggresive trail sled.
These sleds make 110hp on 110octane, but can easily be made into a trail sled with purchase of a low compression head to run on 91 octane.
These sleds in stock form will be able to take your friends fastest trail sleds, with a 1.75" track you will be accelerating much faster than your friends 800cc sled which is still spinning.
Buy one of these and you will for sure have the most aggresive and head turner sled on the trails this year!
I’m looking for $4,995 for each sled.
Here is a press release for when these sleds were released:
MEDINA, MN (September 9, 2006) – Polaris has refined its 440 IQ™ race sled – a proven winner on the world’s most demanding snocross race circuits – with an emphasis on improving the powerful sled’s strength and durability without compromising its exceptional speed and handling.
Built on the innovative Polaris IQ™ chassis – which is also used on the majority of Polaris production sleds recreational riders can enjoy all winter – the 2007 IQ 440 race sled has fueled the optimism of Polaris snocross racers and race team management.
“The guys in Roseau who develop our race sleds did a great job for 2007,” said Polaris Racing Manager Tom Rager, Sr. “Our main objective from last year was to address little nagging stuff. We wanted to have the most durable sled on the track and the Roseau team has definitely improved chassis durability.”
This is the third season that the team’s race sled has been built on the innovative IQ Chassis, and the results to date have been impressive. Two seasons ago Polaris racers won four of the top six WPSA points titles, and last season Polaris racers earned more podium positions than racers of any other single brand.
This coming season, Polaris racers want to hog the podium positions and win multiple WPSA points titles, and the 2007 race sled makes them hopeful of attaining those goals.
FOCUS ON DURABILITY
The process of improving the race sled for 2007 has been led by a team of Polaris chassis and powertrain engineers at the company’s Roseau, Minnesota, engineering facility. They worked with Polaris racers and race team management to identify areas where the sled could be improved, then made changes that have proven highly successful in rigorous pre-season testing.
Steps that the development team took to improve the sled’s durability include:
- Improving overall chassis durability by reinforcing the front clip and rear close off.
- Use of a new, stronger, more durable belt.
- Installation of a new, lower chaincase bearing and slip gear to minimize stress on the chaincase.
- Development of a new seat hold-down for improved durabilityThey also made slight but significant adjustments to the IFS geometry and shock setup to improve the ride and handling.
“They widened the control arms and lowered the spindle to make it turn even better,” said Rager.
Like last season’s race sled, the 2007 440 IQ™ race sled will be equipped with aluminum Walker Evans shocks, front and rear. The IFS shocks have 16-position compression adjustability and the rear track shock has 12-position adjustability, allowing Polaris racers to tune their suspensions to suit their riding styles and the various types of tracks on which they’ll race.
These shocks help the 440 IQ achieve 11.5” of front suspension travel and 13.9” of rear travel.
IMPRESSIVE LIBERTY POWER
The 2007 IQ 440 race sled will be powered by the liquid-cooled Polaris Liberty™ 440 twin that has provided Polaris racers with excellent holeshot acceleration and corner-to-corner speed in recent seasons.
The engine has been continually improved through modest tuning changes, but was already a proven winner, so it hasn’t been changed dramatically for 2007. The engine has NiCaSil-lined cylinders, uses dual TMX 34 carburetors and has the Polaris VES – Variable Exhaust System – to provide racers with a broad powerband.
The race sled engine also has oversized intakes, high-flow V-Force reeds, a high-performance stator and the patented Polaris Dragon ignition, a unique ignition system first developed by Polaris and now imitated by the competition.
