Yeah 17,500$ for a stock sled with ****ty shocks,,, no thanks. And I don't need help with my side hills, I got that down pat.

Im not buying the hype, limited addition gotta buy tomorrow or they'll be sold out.... Fawk off....

Best sled ever, nothing else compares.... Fawk off....

Thing is ugly as hell ta boot.... Freeride is the sickest sled Ive ever owned. Its like that ex-girl friend that you wish you could get back...lol

The ride reports Ive got from people I respect is that motor goes into limp mode pretty fawkin easy....

The 850 is not even close to the girl of my dreams. More like a high maintenance 6.


LOL rider makes the ride:cool::beer:
Turbos can make the ride better or worse.:rolleyes:

VERY true, Im not too worried about getting "schooled" in the woods by the new 850. Or turbo sleds for that matter.

Hell maybe Ill turbo my T3 and keep it as a spare.

You can probably buy a leftover t3 & boost-it low boost kit for less than a 850:cool:

Probably, but I already have a T3 (that is way better than a stocker) Just needs a track.(and turbo haha)

Don't get me wrong, the 850 sound like a good sled. The price is ridiculous. If I change my mind Ill pick one up in the fall.

If I put money down on a sled tomorrow, it will be in my truck by noon.

I couldn't agree more. Every year, every release, it's always the same story .... best sled ever. No way would I pay $17k or more for a stock sled. That is $5 or $6k more than a new 2016. 40-50% increase in price REALLY! If people thought they lost serious money on their T3, just wait, this will take stupid to a whole new level and make it even more special for those who finance:)

What's the good word Dan? Freeride or is the t-3 fixed up?

Wound up just fixing my sled for now. Put a 2.5inch and new drivers on. Seems to work really good with the 2.5

like it better than the 3inch and the snow was deep today. More track speed and seems to side hill better. Always to the pin now though.

before I could get away with less throttle.


Eagles today with Kelsey and Kalon. RIP Kevin :(

2.5" track is better most of the time. Great pics and videos - they are getting better and better, especially the jumps and drops. Video just never seems to do justice to the steepness of the hills or the magnitude of the side hill.

Sounds like my winter in Revy.. Been there twenty days and not one day sunshine more than a few hrs.. Gets a bit frustrating


Ive been here for 5 months and have had a handfull of blue days... At least there was snow this season:beer:
