500 mile review of Polaris matryx slash 165

Agreed, which is why I said I would give it an honest go.... but would most likely fail.. I dont ride enough to have the stamina those guys have. I could ride for a minutes at a time and then need rest stops. Im always impressed watching them as they just go non-stop.

It takes good cardio forsure. When you ride every day your cardio gets really good after a couple weeks i find.

All I get is a day and half at a time. The old dad bod isn't helping either. Should be lifting and training to lose this 20lbs of useless mass.

Ya its not really realistic for most people to sled every day all winter.

That sled of yours looks like it rips though. Be a blast to ride im sure!

Getting old Ben. Got to go hard until the fuel is out.

Went out for a kids friendly ride out in Renshaw last weekend and on Saturday buddy with a new polaris Boost decided to change his belt just to break the new one in on the trail, and noticed his primary is quite badly worn. It has a pretty heavy step on the sheave faces just at the bottom about where it sits at idle or maybe just above a little bit. He has about 1000K on it. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this on their boost?
Crappy aluminum? Different belt make up?
I dunno.

Alignment maybe are both sheaves worn or just one of them

The 216 belt is extremely hard, this will be an issue for many primary clutches as more km pile on.
