I got a buddy that works at cycle works and he said they have a hard time selling the 174. Maybe they just don’t sell enough

its certainly not as popular as the 165 but should still be a snow check option and im sure it will be in 2023 for polaris boost matrx slash rmk pro burandt flickable model. Same as skidoo their limited 2020.5 release only came in 165.

because remember, senior citizens still snowmobile.

On the Polaris site it says it weighs 447lbs dry. It holds 66 lbs of fuel. That totals 513 lbs. with fuel. I am having a hard time accepting it holds 47 lbs of coolant injector oil and shock oil?? Maybe 525 lb RTR would be more realistic? That is still 35 lbs difference and that number includes 5.6 litres more fuel (4.2 lbs.) than Doo.

Dan adams weighed a 22 khoas na 165 rtr with wrap and bigscreen tv and slp can at 496lb.
Its in his utube channel

70 kph track speed . Lol are u sure it had a turbo .
Burdaunt said in his first podcast this season the doo does 42ish mph trackspeed, the boost hits 52ish mph.
Check out his podcast#1
I can get 42 to 44 with my single SPI pipe.

A review from some one on his boost, Buddy had a full day on the Boost today, coming off his modded Sidewinder. There were 2 Matrix Boost, stock turbo doo and a few stage 2 turbo doos. Believe all the new turbos were still in break in mode. But according to him he wasn't to impressed with the Boost, maybe used to the power of the Sidewinder, but expected more. Switched between the factory turbo Doo and Boost a few times and said felt the Doo was better/stronger, wasn't sure if it was the power, the delivery to the track or the tack itself. One complaint he did have was the intake inlet locations, I guess it was deep in Blue River today and the Boost intakes are on the side so would cause the sled to bog and starve for air.

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!

your 175 doo is way more impressive than these boosts.

the Ski doo turbo stock was 178hp and the boost was 196hp on bikemans dyno a difference of 18hp. = 2 pounds of boost.
