Who Snowchecked a 2025 Polaris?

I like the option to wheelie as long as it is controllable so was thinking the 165 Khaos might have that nice balance..
I am with you on the muff pot - smoked a prime rib before the last ride and it was amazing on the hill!
With out a question. Yes
Totally, I’m 165lbs buck naked and the 155 boost is pure ecstasy
I don’t think that my new sled, except for the last few inches of the track will ever touch the ground on the 25’ boost with the 3.25 and my weight.
For the type of snow we get and the 15 km hardpack trail rides to the good stuff I dont think the 325 would be a good choice. I live near the coast so our snow is generally heavier. But its what ever floats your boat, some may like it with those conditions, some may not.
Get the khaos and adjust the shocks for wheelie and riding style. And the new 155 will go where the 165 used to.
But according to snowest logic all machines are equal. So, track lengths are most likely a social construct that can perform any way you perceive possible. This is contrary to the malformation 3 percenter forum riders teach.
New 155s will go where old 165s went... but not where the new 165s will go.
165 Khaos (boost) wheelies plenty.
Good point. The new 165 will get ridiculous places. Does the 165 wheelie the right amount? Variables: track type, snow type, terrain preference, rider weight, shock setup, rider ability, rider speed, style of riding, etc. Everyone will answer that question different.
I’m afraid if we get too far off whatever the topic is Rbalazs will start posting self help rhetoric and bible verses again
If you want a 155 boost go pro, if you want a 165 go khaos. I had a 22 155 khaos boost with the 3" track and it was crazy wheelie machine. Went 165 3.25 khaos boost in 24 and it's great . Still will wheelie but I can actually climb something with out going over backwards.
I take a 155 kaos boost 9 days a week over the pro. Most days i could care less about a 165. One day last year and none this year where i would care to have one.
So much happens on the forum when I'm out riding 4' of fresh 
I think 165 is best choice for the majority of riders. Unless you are an advanced level rider wanting to do lots of bow ties and hopovers, the 165 works the best. I think the Pro vs Khaos doesn't matter. You can change a sled into either just by changing the set up. I ride Pro's and Caleb rides Khaos'. I don't think his sled wheelies anymore or less than mine.
And for the record I have a cooker on my sled. I had 2 pepperoni pizza hot pockets today

Great pic!
I think I will flip the coin - excited to try the boost and compare it to my sweet running 9R.
I’m only getting a 155 because when it’s on my lifted short bed truck and I roll up to get a coffee, it looks cooler than four more inches of track hanging off of my short bed Marlon Explorer Pro 2 sled deckSo much happens on the forum when I'm out riding 4' of fresh

Since we’re dropping names, I did tell Caleb that I’m getting a 155 because you told me to get a 165 and if I want to change to a 165 I can just put a 165 skid under my 155. He agrees that would be the better way to go
Two hot pockets huh! Thats a deeep day!
I have 2 165 sleds. A 850 NA with 2.75 and the Boost with 3.25. I am happy I went with 165's, especially on the Boost. A 155 with the 3.25 on th e NA would be nice to try though as I expect equal traction but more maneuverable.
maybe the 165 balances out the extra front end weight and power of the turbo -
The turbo sled still feels heavier but after adjusting the front skid shock tighter to take some weight off the skis it is pretty good. I'm sure the 3.25" lug track makes a huge difference in the feel of the sled too as it does have more traction. This is good for lifting the skis but also makes it feel heavier if you don't grab a handful to get track slip when initiating to get the sled on one ski. For those guys who bad-mouth the 2.75" track, it works very well for a lighter, lower powered sleds as it allows some slip which is huge for improving maneuverability. I am way less tired after a day on my NA over the Boost and it is not all about more power and more weight.
