Very little time on my 165, but its super boring so far.
The 3” is not garbage, it works well.
Then you want a khaos.
They build a sled to climb and then get bitched at that it's boring. They build a sled to be exciting and then get bitched at because it's a handful trying to climb.
You have to make your own decisions. Your riding style and average snow conditions determine what you will enjoy riding. Can't just blindly follow the blind.
Yeah. I’m a 155 guy. Jumped on the only Boost the local dealer had available.
It is the most planted 160 something I’ve ever ridden. Just letting the OP know… beings he asked. You don’t have to be butt hurt about it.
If you aren’t a real big guy I would think the 155 would be more fun in that type of snow. I rode a 155 3” Pro Boost that was a ton of fun. Can climb, can do bowties all day. That would be my choice. I have no idea how the 3” would work in sierra cement.
Works well at trenching and getting stuck. The 3" is far inferior to the the 2.75". I have been on everyone's snow and I can't find a single circumstance where you would want the Polaris 3" track.
Probably blew out the seal on your Float 2 before your wife took that pretty shot, hillbilly.

I’ve traditionally been a 16x guy. If you live for the deepest days of the year, big steep climbs and minimal sticks…it’s still the place to be. BUT these news sleds definitely do more with less…so if you want a more playful sled that goes anywhere the 16x’s did a few years ago, the 155” will do that. Really no reason to go pro over Khaos as long as you don’t mind adjusting to preferences…just think of Khaos as having more adjustment rather than being a different machine. You can make one ride like the other with minimal parts/effort
Not butt hurt.
Just pointing out the obvious. Everyone wants an easy answer, but they don't want to learn anything to make their own decisions.
Honestly haven’t done any true side by sides, but regularly ride with 163 3”s, they get around extremely well, don’t notice any excessive trenching… like a 280.
If I were to snowcheck I would do a 155 Pro 3” and swap to an X3. I love that track.
Buy all 4 configurations and let’s do some testing, Kyle!
Kyle buy both— not necessarily two sleds, but buy the 155 and a set of 165 rails and track.
I had to do that with my 22 Khaos boost (didn’t offer a 165 Khaos boost in 22)
I picked up another 23 165 Khaos boost.
I’m not a fan of the Polaris 3.0”— the 2.75” works better in our Tahoe snow.

Kinda my thought process.
155, convert to 165 if wanted. I already have a 165 skid.
or just go with a 165 from the get go ??
?
FFS. A 165 is planted or boring? More feedback that suggests Chilly is right again.
The answer to which track length one should buy is the function of rider ability to rider mass. An aggressive rider with more mass will do better on a 165. An aggressive rider with less mass will do better with a 155.
Chevy was right. Polaris gave us too many options with Pro/Khaos 155/165. Everyone bitches now because they don’t know how to properly set up their machine or can’t ride.
