Nice work!
Have you seen polaris’s new magnetic tether?
Also ice age has a new forged A arm set available. (That’s the way i’d go if I didn’t already have a full set of steel arms plus spares)

I havent! Ill have to look into that tether! Ill have to see how the factory arms hold up, i had the kmod arms on my 16, but id like to be able to just run to the dealer if i bend one. How do the 850s respond to gearing? I did the pro pulleys on my 16, either do that or tki. And probably diamond s Ti can
The 21s are geared lower. Like 10% lower than your 16. Why did you change back to poo?
The ice age arms swap with oem arms exactly.
I spent a couple days on a bone stock 850 khaos last year.
After break in they rip as is.
Depends on with KHAOS he picked up.. Was it someones snowcheck they backed out on.. and did they order the QD2? Or was it one of the special order KHAOS the the dealers can purchase to sell? They have the colors, coated tunnel and rails and PIDD gage dealers can buy to sell but you don't get the other snowcheck options like QD2, 165 track, underseat bag and I don't remember what else.
That's what I'm saying. Look for the QD2 logo.
If it's there, don't need to gear down.
My dealer has a couple QD2 sleds as floor models (not snowcheck backouts), their demo is also a 165" khaos QD2.
Its not a QD2, its normal QD with 2.6
The alpha is fun, the track is great, the engine is strong, but it can be unpredicable, it will wheelie over on you especially on steep climbs, and if you let off the throttle it can send you down hill, its really not great in setup snow, it wants to roll down hill, and even with all the stuff i did to it, it still felt bulky and heavy compared to the axys. It also always wanted to turn uphill when sidehilling.
I hadn't seen the a- arm braces , where could I find some info on them? Thanks
For sure a few of the reasons I'm also back on an Axys this season and not an Alpha. Not to mention poor fit and finish from Cat.
Very true, the polaris has far better fit and finish
Thanks

Ive seen a few Arctic cat magnetic tethers from different companies I was thinking of buying. I don't care for the rubber tether from Polaris that I have run for years. Does Polaris now have their own magnetic tether or do I need to buy an AC one from a source that sets it up to plug and play on a Polaris?
