Another great Polaris sled. There’s not too much difference between the 600 Edge touring and the 600 Edge Touring 50th Anniversary Edition except in the appearance, and a little bit on the weight. Both are very nice machines. Both very steady and easy to handle. Big machines, but certainly not slow. They have great power in them and although you won’t be flying like a rocket it won’t be a problem dealing with the deep snow. Comfort is the main thing Polaris accented on when making the 600 Edge Touring and in my opinion they’ve done a wonderful job. Here are the specifications before we go on:

Really the only thing you can complain about this sled is its weight. Because of it, it’s not gonna be the fastest one out there, and it’s gonna eat some more fuel than the ones around it (fuel ave.14mpg), but that’s all compensated by the comfort and stability level. The price is also not a bad one and if you decide to go for the sled I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed of it.
