Burandt said 4lbs over comparable model and noted that most of that is in the gauge and battery for the gauge.
Important Introducing the 2022 Polaris RMK lineup and first ride impressions!!!

- Start date
What does the difference of the Khaos geometry do compared to the Pro?
Where doo you suppose the e start battery goes? Hopefully you have another kit. Your kaos kit is awesome for the axys
Also how much does the boost add in weight?
In season
Snowcheck Slash is the only way to get boost.
Remember they both have a double pass internally - externally finned bulkhead and cooler in the tunnel top.
25lbs give or take. Khaos geometry means lighter riding, easier to get on edge, more wheelie.
That's the Khaos now.
Where we rode, we had 15ish miles of grinned road to get to the hills. We rode that section HARD.
Ripping on groomed trail, packed powder, the 165 and 155 Boost ran COOL, like the Axys. 105°.
I was impressed.
The 146 will run cooler than the longer tracks.
Check post #2 in this thread.

That would be me.
The ones I rode had very little down force on the scratchers. They did very little!
It ran just as cool as my Axys. It started 98-105° on packed groomed trail for 15 miles and 15 miles back out.

Absolutely.
I got into a pickle and the sled was upside down.
I got the sled on it's side, but I couldn't roll it the way I wanted to, so when if was laying in it's side, I had to throw the rear bumper uphill and that's the first time I've ever done it like that by myself.
It was pretty light. No snow buildup. In the back end just felt lighter when it was laying in the snow on its side.
it's tunnel wide under the seat now and finned. you probably have 5times more surface with the finned design
Not sure if I am going to phrase this right or not but with a shorter tunnel 155" would that somewhat take away the need or desire to go 165"? Would the short tunnel 155" go through the deeper snow more like a standard 165"?
I am curious too. What is the point of the a shorter tunnel?
The Snowest chassis video is great for describing the differences
I did take the 650 146" out. It was electric start and 2" track. I swapped with my buddy Dan Gardiner half way through without telling him what it was. He came back and said, "it feels lazy" I then informed him it was a 650 146 with 2" and electric start. It was impressive for what it did at 8000 feet.
I really wanted to try the 850 146" with 2.6" track. That is a very cool sled IMO.
So IMO if you weigh under 150lbs the 650 is plenty capable. It rode well on the trail and handled everything just fine. Otherwise I would stick with the 850.
