In my opinion...no. a snowmobile with less power and torque can be made to outpull on a straight climb. Gearing/clutching/ attack angle etc are all things that can aid in the result of a straight climb win. Old way of thinking. However riding the way we do now, the way those combinations come together are completely different. How the Engine responds in on/off throttle cycles, the way the chassis cuts the snow on an edge, the way the front end weight can be manipulated based on attack angle and torque are far more important for someone who doesn't pound the same hill all day. track speed recovery, engine response. all things very noticeable in the new 850 machines polaris/skidoo vs the OLD 800. Its a VERY sluggish machine in stock form if you spend any time on any of the new stock 850s and hop onto an Alpha. Its like getting on a SKIdoo XM sled after riding an 850 all day. Once was a great machine and you would never know any different until you spend time on the new 850 series sleds. If cat could get some comparable HP and torque numbers to the new 850s, update that chassis they would have a clear winner. They do have a more efficient drive train in my opinion ( rear of sled ) thinner track, larger rear wheels, larger drivers. that does translate into freeing up some power.
Hi Maxwell.
We need to sled together one day.
Cheers,
Kanedog.

Here's deal... i own both an 850 and an alpha so i can talk smack all i want. the reality is 95% of you guys on here running your mouth cant ride these machines to their potential anyways.. so the whole who makes more hp and what not crap is getting old. Anyone that wants pipe up i got a 5k cheque if you can hold my line for 50 ft, and to be honest the only guy on here im worried about taking it would be maxwell. the hole brand wars things thats going on here is pretty ridiculous... they are all good... and they all have issues. for god sake shut up already....

I dont need to... you couldn't pull it off.
You ride an 850 Doo and a washout Alpha. No one that has 10+ years of experience and rides hard will ride an Alpha. On crazy vert walls the Alpha will wash out and tumble down the hill. The wheelie king 850 won't even make it up to a vert wall. This tells me that your level of riding is subpar. Funny that you own two beginner sleds and are challenging people. Write that check out. Have it ready for me. Cheers
