Finally got around to weighing both the 2022 skidoo 850 and a 2022 Polaris boost. Pretty shocked by the outcome.

Always good to see actual numbers; manufacturer's numbers are apples and oranges. 36lbs is pretty significant: you'd have to spend a lot of money to get the Doo to the same weight (I'm sure someone has). As for the differences (16x3" vs 15x2.75" tracks, 9ish vs 11ish gallons of gas, SHOT), it seems like it works out to a wash. SHOT is a great feature, but even adding full e-start (and never having to pull the rope) doesn't negate the advantage. There might be some argument for the Doo having a more robust tunnel and better cooling though.
The one big thing I'd still like to see is for both sleds to be run around a while and then weighed with whatever snow and ice buildup. If what Poo is claiming about the slash cooling scheme is right, the weight advantage would just grow. Whatever the case, I'd agree the Doo is still a good sled; plenty of good reasons to ride one even if there's no argument on weight. Still, Poo's been ahead of Doo in the weight game so long, I wonder if it'll ever change.

= 36 lbs
That guy in the video was claiming it was a 30lb diff. well he rounded down but if he round up like he should've it would be 40 lbs diff. I know its splitting hairs but it shows he is a true Doo boy.

It’s really pretty crazy the Polaris holds over two more gallons of gas and is still that much lighter.
Still going to be 36 because the other gallon and a half will just run on the floor.
What’s even crazier is Polaris needs gas first! ?

More power = more gas.
Mine definitely is getting better mileage 5/8 of the way through break in.

In my oppinion, if you consider the weight off a doo tbo 65 vs the weight of a maytrx 65na and consider the power at 6500 feet, the maytrx has a better hp to weight ratio and im seeing this first hand with all off the doo tbos in my group. My 22 65 stocker hasnt lost to a 54 or 65 yet this yr
The 75 is prob 50/50 , just depends on the sno type and weather if he can get a run at it.
To me, the doo tbo is a waste of money considering its low hp and heavy weight.

I was out again today in sicamoose, 2 doo tbos and a tbo cat POS . The rider on the 175 tbo doo is a top notch terrain rider.
He attempted a very steep side hill while approaching it from a dead stop and he did a 180 while i just puttered along above him and compleated the poke with a hard left hook going up the steep hill.
I was abit concerned i made a mistake getting the khoas version but now im praising this thing, thats its hands down the best sled ive ever rode.
I did another very steep climb today that the POS tbo cat barely made it up.
Doing downward up turns , mid hill on the slash is a hoot, i honestly dont know how pol will make this sled better.

In my experience so far the drop in fuel consumption after break in is negligible.. I ain’t mad tho, I like burning lots of fuel and making lots of power!!

Dude, i had the great honor of towing out a 22 tbo doo today in revy with engine failure, dont kid yourself, local dealer has 6 doo engine failures in the past few days.
since we are on that train, I pulled a turbo doo home a few weeks ago. Having said that my poo has been on the end of a tow rope a few times as well over the yrs. Also have towed a couple of cats. Short story made longer, all brands have their ****ty days
