So I’ve been reading all about this game changer, have not found a post about ready to ride weight (full of fuel, oil, toolkit and skid plate). Not interested in “a little bit heavier, but you don’t feel the weight” comments. This is a sled I’m contemplating for my significant other...
So if you OWN one and have weighed it, post it up please. Thx

In my scientific view, it would be in your best interest to collect multiple data points, the majority of which should not come from sponsored riders. I'm also very interested in the result!

Im now wondering about delivery on these for the 2021 season, will they be way behind on deliverys as nothing is being made at this time I would think.
i was thinking the same and i was told will be ready late October, two days later i was in dealer getting oil and was told "you're turbo is coming first" predicts early October! maybe they put the turbskis at the front of the line.....whenever that line starts again:cool:

At least any delay gives those so concerned with sled weights to work on getting themselves in shape.... I'm continually amazed at guys who focus in on every possible pound to be saved off their sled, yet do so with a 30lb beer gut!
I’m not concerned about weight for myself, I ride a boosted King Cat (Sidewinder), and at 51 yrs old, I’m 6’2”, 213 lbs and have an active work life. My significant other is 5’2”, and needs a lighter machine - she’s on an RMK with a bunch of stuff done to it, if the new T850 is close in weight we may consider it.

The t850 is about 45# heavier than an equal track length Polaris
Niner posted a bunch of numbers up somewhere.

Maxwell thinks there is a 6.274# difference.

Who has our numbers from the weight off? should be able to do some quick math with the 2021, im thinking.

Doo is only 10 lbs heavier than an Expert. Expert is 5 pounds lighter than a non Expert. What does that work out to.

2021 165 khaos should be around 515 wet. The 2020 155 is 510 wet, and new 3.5 pitch track coming saves 5lbs.

Highly doubt the t850 is only 10lbs more..maybe if you take the stock can off and loose warranty.. You will be looking at a wet weight in the 560-575 mark(and holds 2 gallons less than the poo)oink.

For the doo to compete with any turbo poo's you will have to get an aftermarket flash, then no warranty. So further ahead with a turbo poo at around 50lbs lighter.

Ya ok LOL. Define “further ahead” that entails a lot more than peak HP to me
