The boost should be well over 50 mph track speed with a 165, I am at 51 mph on my stock doo with a 175 and a clutch kit, that boost is supposedly 30 hp more than the doo even with sh!!ty stock clutching it should be in that 50+mph range outta the box, once guys tinker with that sled it should be in the 60 mph range if it is making the power claimed. On a side note my sidewinder was 70 mph spinning a 174 and it was tuned to 270 hp and 50 pounds heavier which is why that boost intrigues me, might be my next sled!
The only way a Boost Poo 165 is gonna get 60 mph is down the highway in a trailer. :popcorn:

Wasn't there a screenshot from a video last spring with a Boost only pulling 42mph on that big gauge everyone was talking about?
There is something up with the boost.
18 hp more, 20# lighter and 7% less track area to spin yet even to or a bit less track speed than the Doo.
Some half truths, bad clutching or bad math cause this story does not add up.
Ready to scratch out the half truths as I think Max is actually telling the truth...... mostly....lol

Still want to try the stiff Matryx chassis instead of Doos wobbly parts.

Haha if I had known I was going to be riding with a boost I would have brought the go pros but unfortunately your going to have to just trust me on this one LOL!! I got very repeatable results multiple times. Safe to say both sleds make identical track speeds in breakin mode. Guess the real truth will be after breakin. Again, the sled still
Works great but the math just doesn’t work is all.

Just poking at you, I believe ya.
I have a shot at a 2022 doo turbo 165.
Since no Poo yet and I am most certainly not brand loyal might just grab the doo.
Got this weekend to decide.
Had a 175 doo for last winter and liked it more than a 165 but no 175 turbos out there in black or any color.
The 165 is a non expert turbo.

Have you got yours yet Randy? I’m sure you won’t sugar coat anything.

I don't pay much attention to my gauge while riding. But today I did a couple pulls up a deep slope that got too steep to climb in fresh. Both pulls I saw 60kph track speed at turnout. Revy Frisby Ridge, so roughly 1750m elevation. 2022 pro rmk 165x2.75 QD2 850.

It had about 260km on odometer at the time. Not sure how to see what break in status is on the big screen tv.

That means it’s going to gain 10 mph after break-in? Can’t see it.
Well perhaps u need to do a pink slip race up a hill vs a broke in boost.
Buruant would not go on record stating somthing like that if its not true.

8400 it’s 44 mph 7950 it’s 47 mph 8250 it’s 50 mph. So it’s making pretty good track speeds. Similar to a doo turbo.

To find engine hours break in period just push centre button on right side then touch the vehicle information tab on bottom of screen then this break in screen will come up
