Has anyone rode the 175"

[Merc63]

What did you think of it and state if you're a previous 174" rider. Thanks

I wanted to try it but they were out of belts when it was my turn ��

I haven't been on one but have heard a couple guys say they were underwhelmed by the 175 demo. One was a brp dealer employee

Exactly like the previous xm 174 to the 163 and 154 in xm , is what you will find the 175 is like compared to the 154,165 g4 , it rips! I spent about 900-1000km on one last season.

Dave, are you familiar with the sled shed cooker can on the 850s? Do you know if it will fit with the shot? I seen some pics, it looks like the shot is by the exhaust?

Sorry I run stock can, so I have no idea, one thing to consider, most if not all turbo bolt on kits have to have the shot removed unless they find a place to put it, and like a can there is excessive heat from both those products when installed in an 850 so there is a high possibility of melting it...not to preach but the company spends millions of dollars tuning that exhaust, over very little testing on aftermarket cans, you will always lose hp, and if they made the same sound, and someone switched it back to stock from a can, you would never notice the weight. I want to hear when i am older so I wear ear plugs as i ride sleds, trials and dirt bikes most days so less sound is better for me.

seen these in the Zacs Tracs booth. Might be a option?

Spent a day on a 165 and have a 162 length myself I was not a fan of 175 as with the 174 it feels like that longer track robs power and makes them less manoeuvrable. Now throw a turbo on it and you are more interested in climbing hills it's a different story.

175 is in, and turbo is on delevery path.. Don't. See how the 850 in stock fourm will support the 175" to well, be a tractor for sure..

now that sucks about shot.. Doo what the hell you doing again to my plans..

 

[chickenman]

I felt the 174 workes well with the 800 Etec, so theres no reason the 175 word be that much better with the 175. Ofcourse if you ran a turbo on any machine, regardless of track length, you will likely never be satisfied with a stock set up

The 850 has two good spots for cooking on the stock muffler. Paper and foil your packages to fit in those spots.

TheThing will fit! No problem!

The Shot is where the electric start battery used to be and there will be lots of room remaining when you take out the BRP suitcase.

 

[Teth-Air]

So no good ride reports on the 175 yet?? There are lots of guys ridding already so i would of thought there would be some.

 

[Merc63]

Cooker can fits easy with shot.

I had it out once in golden two weeks ago but the snow was too low to really test it.
