what would compliment that uphill race is a 10yr old TNytro to smoke them both

anyways....has anyone tried a carls cycle 910 yet?

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 ....

pretty sure he was replying to lildukes big air pic...not his....

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...

How about
-155 track vs 165
-15 wide vs 16 wide
- turbo vs non turbo

Video is from quebec riding around 1500ft. a 155 should beat a 165 in a drag race like that. looks like the skidoo has a 30lb tunnel bag on tooo lol

Anyone else thing the s7 display is best gauge out of all the sleds?

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!!

that is pretty sweet, being able to select the temp is nice

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!

That matrix chassis is 4.8" narrower than the axys.
That's gonna be a big deal.

 

[gibsons]

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

Here is 2022
