I have had dealers offer me $1k off. I would do it in a heartbeat if it came with 4 yr warranty. I will wait til snowcheck and if they dont have multi yr warranty then I will prob pass as well. Too new for me to be tester with no factory backing.
Important >>> Ski-Doo Summit 850 TURBO OEM at long last!!!!!!

Haha you know nothing. I have an expert and a turbo. At 6000 feet this turbo kicks the **** out of the expert, it is not even close. I have owned many turbo sleds including 2 strokes and 4 strokes. This sled has NO lag, is extremely controllable and is turn key. Oh and it runs on pump gas. There's not a lot of trails at 2000-4000 feet that require boost is there? It is
40 hp more at 8000 feet, accept it.
So a can will loose the warranty, I thought that would have been an easy 10lbs.
As of last week I think the dealer here in Bozeman has already sold 12 of their 14 and weren’t offering any discount. At least they didn’t offer me one for mine.
I had one for the day yesterday and completely agree with this statement. I also ride an expert, (which I really like), but will definitely be snow checking one of these in the spring. The powerband is SO smooth and comes on like a stock 850 at engagement, allowing for a very manageable sled when doing slow speed maneuvers. The turbo kicks in around 6K rpm with ZERO turbo lag, then its time to hang on! Very impressed with how well designed and smooth it is. Such a fun sled!
I ride both regularly, the factory is definitely designed with a LOT more engineering and feels way better in the trees. The newest BD/Silber/MTNTK kits are serviceable but they cannot compete with a factory setup for consistency.
It’s not the power this sled makes...it makes good power but can use more in some scenarios. The reason the factory turbo is so much of a leap forward is that it’s completely seamless in how it goes from naturally aspirated performance on the bottom into a strong clean hard pulling turbo on the big end. It just makes it Lethal In the technical ground and turned up 50 horse it’s going to smash the big mountains flat.
Hated the 4300 rpm engagement...... got it down to 2900rpm and its a freaking tractor that has lungs in it too !!!!
This is a stroke of genius by ski doo get the sale of sled and turbo. I would say the majority will want more boost make it easier to turn it up but it voids warranty by footprint in ecu. It's a win in my eyes for them.

Ride now powersports in Kennewick Washington has 3 850 turbos if anyone is looking for one. They had them as of 11:00 am this morning.
Anyone found the part number for the clear lacquer rattle can?
It’s so good everyone in my group is probably gonna end up with 1!!!
I’ll never go back to non turbo gen4
It’s game over to any non turbo sled
No comparison!
Couple little notes/thoughts
Bars may be a little small for my large size hands
Running boards fixed!
Stiffer suspension than my 17X
I liked it!
Trail ride in no issue with overtemp
Clicker 1 8k -10k 8200 rpm max recall
Snow was so deep I never saw live tach on a pull, so will need weight added?
I can’t find a max rpm spec I assume 7900?
150 miles 40% break in runs flawless
Never thought I would care about electric start.. I will never have another sled without Shot!!
I made it all week without sore arms
It could have been from the over the hood snow.. Very easy to ride this sled hard! Because of the incredible track and ground speed you need to be paying attention!
Power delivery is smooth and predictable, linear! turbo is not overwhelming under full boost
But very noticeable! Combined with the amazing traction the Gen4 165 3” has
It just Pulls you on top of the snow where nonTurbo sleds we’re struggling in the super deep conditions.
Overall I’m very happy with this sled and decision! It was a little more than I wished to spend.. but after a week riding it I have no regrets!
I did get a 4year warranty @ the original
Sticker price.
Thank you Mike and Gerry @ Nielsons
1 extra thing to note
Fuel consumption is a tad more than the Expert 165 in the group..
But way less than the silber and Boondocker Rmk’s
Due to the 2.6” 163” tracks on the RMK’s
We couldn’t really compare on a hill climb.. but I could easily climb over and down to help dig them out!

If my dealer would have offered me a 4 yr warranty with no additional cost I would have had one a week ago, as well as many others here.......
