M8000 2016 and prior compare

[KatMan]

with the smokin deals on 2015's, thinking of an upgrade. not sure if i should just jump to 2016. about 3 grand difference. Anybody have input on how much different the clutches are? what is the issue with the pre 16's? Has anybody rode then upgraded their 2.6 track to a 3"? big difference? no need to comment on the front end, pretty clear. thanks

After a bunch of reading/research I picked up a 16 m8000 ltd. The 3" track works very well. The evol shocks work great once you dial them in, so much adjustability it makes your head spin. The clutching works great, they upgraded the chain and gears also. For 3 grand, go 16 all the way, very impressive and capable sled.

I second this. was going to buy a '15 but sure glad I spent the extra and got a '16. clutching is way better. The temps are way lower, you can actually touch the clutches. for the 3 grand difference, just get the '16. by the time you change track on the 15 to a 3" and the drivers, and do front end youll be close to that price anyway.
