Wow you posted a pic...big deal. Again i suspect average day for most riders is a 1500' to 2000' elevation change max. Maybe we should all go and ride Everest top to bottom.
There are a few riders capable of using a T but for most its a clever sales gimmick ....
Still riding a 16 Pro with 36" react style front end .... Best thing announced is lower gearing and more heated storage ...not enough to warrant a new sled ... 850 T will be great for some but still more sled than most can handle ...

Btw i can post a pic too ....

is that newfound land? looks better than I thought it would. but 5000 feet elevation change is a typical
day for me. might not be average; but im a mountain rider for sure...

I thought the PIDD gauge was the best on the market, till they released a even better one.

yep love my pidd gauge only complaint was size and not touch screen but they solved my problems for the next sled!! I’m actually pretty excited about the new hand and thumb warmer be auto controlled!!

Dont worry... we will put this debate to rest after Saturday. Pics and Video should be enough evidence to confirm what the outcome will be..

Will be closer to 50 lbs lighter....

This is the interesting part in power to weight as well as how power is put to the ground.
50# is equal to about 20hp, add a pipe for about 10hp, maybe a clutch kit and you are going to see some serious performance gains on the hill.
Polaris drive line efficiency with their clutching and belt drive will put the power to the ground.
Had a G4 and an Alpha, just may have snowcheck one and try a 165 Khaos for next year!
Should perform very well compared to other NA sleds.

If you liked your Alpha you would like a Khaos. The 850 polaris engine is really good now that bugs are out. Very strong. I think the new 2.7 track is going to be very good also.

Again with the magic 50lbs lol. Expert 165 to
Chaos 165 is 35 Lbs

Don’t forget the Polaris doesn’t have side panels that look like a pregnant whale ��!! Maybe the G5 will finally get narrowed up....oh wait the frenchies like wide sleds for the trails!

Well, I guess there’s always next year. That should be exciting from all manufactures.
