Forum Expert 9R review

Point being... yeah put them in same class at 5k. At 8k, boost is gonna start to shine, and at 12k they aren't even gonna be comparable.

Except chadly.

He still has plenty

In my experience, the guys constantly talking about how they have the most money.. are never the one's that do....

Kind of irrelevant but I'm not sure that's true. Outside of the few early 2019 issues the 850 seems to be a really solid motor.

Agreed the early 850's had plenty of teething problems (mostly manufacturing issues), and the fuel pumps/delivery system have had a share of gremlins...otherwise mechanically the motors have been quite solid. I'd say the 850's internals are standing up to high mileage very well..... better than the later 800's did, which were also quite solid motors.

3,000 plus mountain miles on my 850 trouble free, now we will see how the 9R stacks up

I can't wait to test Chadly's out tomorrow!!!! Might be a test ride that cost me $25,000 OUCH!!!!!

 

[zaasman]

Can't wait for the video ?

So for you old timers, why did the manufacturers stop doing displacement battles? Wouldn’t ski-do or cat be back if they had a 1200 or something that was only a little heavier but lighter than turbo? .030 of an inch is a lot in the machinists world. Wasn’t it a thing once to have a supercharged 4 stroke? Or better yet ….hey chadley what do you want next after this one’s to wimpy lol?

I never said I had money. I'm broke. Everyone just assumed I had money because of the Ferraris and Lamborghini in the background of the picture of my Boost ??‍

When it became more important for our sleds to handle well than how much HP they put out.
Manufacturers made them light and much more nimble, A good running 800 na that handles well will take a good rider through insane terrain….now they are making them even more capable.

Chilly’s right. I went to the McCall airport to pick him up in his private jet and splash some Av fuel for two weeks straight…..No call, text, or sign of Chilly.

At 7000’ a clutched turbo struggles to get away from a clutched 9R. At 10,000’ it’s another story. I pity the guys who ordered a prairie boost.
At 10,000’ it’s a tossup depending on your discipline.

Hope I can get on both this year. Ride between 9-12k in northern Colorado. Would love to hear the difference in platforms confirmed for tech riding at this altitude

What’s kasterke ride? Lol.

You’re still drunk?

 

[Pinchecharlie]

High…on life lol. But really what’s he ride? He’s the beast mode dude right? I know one of those selley guys rides a supercharged cat lol

 

[Pinchecharlie]

He must ride below sea level cause his page says he rides a na 850 ???? He must not need power? I went to buy a new sled today but Polaris dealer had no sleds at all! Lol

 

[RBalazs]

I’m so proud to hack Chadly’s post with a pic of my sled on my sled deck with a COVER on it???

 

[damx]

Here u go

I wanted to ride with Rusty but he wanted me to pay everything. Unfortunately, I don't get a long very well with liberals who want everything for free ??‍

 

[turboless terry]

9r is a girls sled. I'm just going to ride the mountain max

 

[blindman]
