2021 Polaris
- Thread starter niner
- Start date
K so you're a lucky dude and maybe you buy a sw or doo 850T or a cat or poo with a blower...
I still suspect that most riders likely do not and likely spend the day "playing" within an elevation range of probably 1500' ....just saying
As for elevation, NL is definitely not as high as Rockies but Rockies are not as high as Himalayas ....still fun either way. Favourite riding is in the tight trees on sides of the hills in picture which are deceptively steep....so lighter nimbler sled is preferred ....
maybe Caper can show us how to do it on a 137" × 1.25" - cant wait!

I'll probably still get a NA sled, but at 9000feet you can feel the lack of power big time and a turbo would be great for that.
your Polaris will still make it up there though
btw. mostly riding in the selkirks and monashee mountain ranges. not the rockies.

The 2022 will be an amazing sled. They standard RMK 163 is 420 dry, now with a 5lb lighter track and the Matryx chassis is another 7 lbs lighter. That will but it to 408lbs. Titanium muffler saves 13.5 lbs. Bringing it to 394.5lbs dry. This sled will put a beating on the turbo doo.
This is what Ill be snow check next year!!
Sure at 9k T is definitely a plus / necessity.... at sealevel to 2500' prefer lighter ...I'll probably still get a NA sled, but at 9000feet you can feel the lack of power big time and a turbo would be great for that.

2021 lower gearing is an easy update .... surprised still no tether or toeloop fix ....

give it a rest lilduke the ride from the parking lot doesn't count.
on boulder you can start riding from 2km past the booth and change elevation AL day. so suck it lol
no the turbo do wouldn't make any sense at all where you live. the new Polaris looks dope.
if you were to leave from boulder parking lot, back to turbo, down kirk up creek up the back side of turtle, through turtle drop down the front side and back to the truck how much elevation change you figure that is in a day????,?

So this thread is supposed to be about the 2021 Polaris. I hope its okay to talk about 2022?? I believe the Matryx chassis and a Series 9 track is coming. They are replacing the 2.6" with a 2.75 Series 8 but really, most people like the Series 6 track more than the Series 7 so I expect the Series 7 will definitely be going.
my bad. some people just got but hurt that I claim to ride more than 1500feet in a day...
that track will be next level though.
maybe I'll get a khaos for next year
Do you even ride, bro? I was hoping you would be out in the hills with buddies, sampling every variation and model of sled out there and giving us your conclusions.
Someone get Dan a couple hours on a Khaos 155, couple hours on a Axys 174 850, couple hours on a Axys 163x2.6 850, couple hours on a 850 turbSki 165, couple hours on a 850 165 expert, couple hours on a 163 alpha. Then get him in front of a camera and post that on the youtubes.

It's straight up embarrassing how wide the Doo is at the footwells and how wide the running boards are, total waste of space.

Well we aren't getting younger so you might appreciate not throwing around the extra 50 lbs.
No hurt here ....my na sleds do fine where I ride .... plus its easier to breathe .... butt only hurts from hard seat on snowbike ....
Would like to ride in your area sometime and bet you would have fun in ours .....

When counting vertical feet does both up and down count? I’ve never kept track. This would be interesting to see.

Interesting,.. I was looking at swapping out my 155 2.6 for a 163 2.6,.. now this 165 2.75 is looking mighty interesting.
