Boost: Khaos vs Pro

[FirstAscent]

Ok Boost only models, whether you're snowchecking or not...

What are you, or what would you, snowcheck? and why?

Khaos 155
Pro 165
Of course both are Slash as well.

For me, I'm torn, I was set on the Khoas but a factory turbo and slash options opens up to a whole new ballgame.

I have the same dilemma, was hoping for a 163 Khaos but that's not a option for some odd reason. The 155 Khaos Turbo might be a little to wheelie happy?

Wouldn't be tough to put 163/165 rails and track under the 155 Khaos. I wonder if there become such a thing as too short of tunnel?

Kesterke said the 155 is a lot to handle and a lot of people will go with the pro.

That's what I'm thinking too, even more full on Khaos!

True, same as everyone has already been doing. I wonder what the limit is too on where tunnel length becomes too short.

was that in one of the vids? I've been watching them all looking for input on the boosted khaos but most of what I've seen is just the white/purple boosted pro. (and I love purple everything, so bonus points there)
But I believe it, seems like the Khaos is more single minded now (in a crazy fun way).

And with the Velocity shocks on the PRO, you can easily add some playful manner to it (without further upgrades).

I dunno, I'm leaning towards the PRO now, the boosted Khaos might just be too much for what I want to do with it, but at the same time I wish I knew what that felt like

Seems a Khaos 850 Boost with the 165 2.75 series 8 would be a real nice set up, the Pro 850 Boost is offered with the 165 2.75 series 8. Makes no sense.

If they offered a 165 khaos boosted, I would order that. As not going 165 Pro slash boosted, and if not wheelie/fun like my 155 khaos I will change out rails etc. Excited for this sled. Hoped it would be in the $18,000 range, Disappointed in only 2 year warranty. Likely still pull the trigger!

 

[Boreal]

The 165 pro boost comes with the velocity shocks. So the only difference from the khaos would be the longer front track shock and tipped up rails. I'm sure you could tune some wheelie into this turbo sled when you want it.

 

[kylant]

odd that they don't offer the 165 boost khaos.
get a pro 165, swap to iceage khaos rails, a longer FTS, longer limiter strap. done

 

[GlennRMK]

Weird that they don't have a 155 Pro or 165 Khaos with boost? Maybe they wanted to save that for next year?

 

[turboless terry]

They are saving that and the adjustable handlebars. They did not save the pricing.

Bang on. Turbo will tune some wheelie in to it too.

Khaos has Hi/Low . Rmk says compression only.

 

[robstar1337]

Shock length same as Axys?

 

[goridedoo]

Shock length same as Axys?

Yes. All 4.

I just noticed that, that's dumb. I always thought it was odd the the Khaos had more options than the "PRO". I'd think they'd at least be similar.

 

[G-Force]

Are the Matryx RMK shocks the same as the Axys? I'm "pretty sure" they are but...

Front and Rear shocks on identical to AXYS
