I guess we will need a new Matryx 900 section tomorrow?

I have not researched it, but what is the warranty on these new 900’s and 850 boost for the 2023 Polaris?

You brought it here, so you get to defend it - that's how this works. Otherwise, lower your voice, we're talking about Polaris here. Shoo!
Can you imagine if this much negative whineing got done about a Doo release. The entire site would need to be shut down, threads cleaned up, tears mopped up members banned.

It is going to be the most powerful NA mountain slayer providing tons of fun to all that get one.
That's what the 9R will be.
And ya eventually it will see Boost.

Pistonbroke, i hope you got the "last" word in!!!

Hopefully the price of sledding keeps getting steeper. Maybe eventually there will be less vehicles in the staging areas, lol.
That 900 would be so awesome if it was brp.

The twins are a huge waste of money!!
Have u run a set ? Or know a guy that knows a guy that knows another guy that did ??

I can’t see why twin pipes would not help any 2stroke motor?
Done it on the old 500s back in the day and it was a big diff

The throttle response on the new 180hp doo is better than its predecessor with more hp. Skidoo did not just flash this machine and add weight, it has been re-engineered to provide the same or better level of engien response
You fail to address the clutch weights. You can't possibly have all of us believe that this thing has full boost at idle? Sure the motor will be responsive but now the load at engadgement will be much higher than before and unless you can show me how the boost pressure is built under 4000 rpm, I am not a believer.

Testing was done when they were released, and they ended up being slower then a stock 850. The clutch calibration was so awful. Even ran the power dome head, and was still slower then the stock 850 that was used for comparison. They sure sounded good tho.

I do know that there has been some new flashes and clutching for the kit since then, dont know if it got any better or not. With the cost of this set up, it would be way more beneficial to spend a bit more for a silber turbo.

You should try a set. I think if anyone can tune them you can. The old 500s and todays sleds are almost identical. Report back. Chrisco ran a set one winter so yes we’ve seen them in action.

Im a polaris faithful hands down, but i cannot understand the hype for this 900. And the price... its more then what i paid for my boost. Has everyone forgotten that we ride at 6-8000 feet?? These Polaris ambassadors are as bad as our politicians. Repeat the same agenda and the masses will follow.

PS. i did snowcheck a 900 as the will need clutching

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.

Whoa? That's quite the imagination you have there. I'm not sure how your dealer operates but I can see why you fellas are so hostile.

I do agree, that its only lame cause Polaris built it as Doo doesn't build lame things. :skidoo:

Regardless of what the REAL HP number is of the 850 to the 900 its only 7%. So, lets use 165HP for the 850 add the 7% giving the 900 177HP. Most of Valemount is right at 7000'. 3% per 1000 loss will give you 146 hp vs 180ish hp on the boost.

I hope everyone realizes a clutched and gear down 850 will be as fast or faster then this 900..... but ya... go spend 25K for a 12hp increase...

PS. i did snowcheck a 900 as the will need clutching
All the 9R owners are going to be Polaris beta testers for 2023. If the mill stays choochin' for next season, i would guess 2024 will have a turbina option added
