I'm thinking the T850 175 not so much for breaking trail as for when I follow Chris down some crazy $hit trying to get to Colby and then I have to get back up... LOL! Besides 165 or 175 we'd always come back to get everyone as we're like the Marines... "Leave no one behind"!

Yeah and then you guys call me. It’s no problem down here. Troy made it. Yep 174 for me cause I need something to balance out the lacking talent.

Thanks for all the feedback and input. Well decision is now made and sled ordered! Went with the 165 Turbo Freeride to get the better suspension. Will look at options to deal with exhaust getting lower belly pan side dirty... maybe a wrap or just change them out to black? Looking forward to next year already!

Larry here from Regina. Don't you guys ride Polaris?
They all ride ride Polaris's and I wait while they change out spark plugs and over-ride their TPS so we can get off the mountains... finally got my one buddy to change from his Axys 800 to a T850 and his riding improved substantially based on number of stucks! In 28 years of mountain riding when faced with a gnarly climb I've NEVER heard "hey, let's make sure we get the lightest sled to go first"....

Sounds like someone in your group needs to spend less time in the trees and more time working on his meadow and straight up climbing portfolio! Lol

Easy there big guy. I never changed a single plug or anything else on my 850. Now the 800 that’s a different story with 3 years of hard riding under its belt (pun intended). Thank goodness for warranty and probably the best dealer on the planet (Cycle Works West). I’m assuming you are poking another Polaris rider who shall remain anonymous.

Just punchy from being cooped up.... the best sleds are the ones that get you back to the truck!
