The Polaris definitely outclimbed the Ski-Doo. We’ll have to work a little on the Ski-Doo’s weight transfer to get more track in the snow.
Yet, when you’re carving through trees or down the trail in spring-like conditions, you certainly feel much more track push on the Polaris. The Ski-Doo is much easier turning in packed snow.
I ordered a 850 165 track Skidoo to climb.... not pop wheelies. They better figure a way out for the suspension to stay in the snow on big climbs!!! May be some one has tightened the front limiter strap and it has helped? Anyone get a chance to try that?
so lets compare apples to apples instead of snowest's stupid azzed 165 vs 174.....
polaris lists their 174x3 as 442# dry. they list the 163x3 as 426# dry. that is an 18# difference.
apples to apples.....the doo ready to ride is 19# heavier
polaris 163x3 = 517 (-13 pounds for a 2.6 track with belt drive)
skidoo 165x3 = 536 (i was not able to find weight specs for the difference between a 3'' and 2.5'')
axys 163x3
you posted this on dootalk too. i will say the same thing i did on there........
it doesnt matter what that scale, or any scale, says unless both sleds hung from it. thats like saying you weigh 180lbs on your scale, but come to my house an hour later and weigh yourself at 170 on my scale. did you lose 10 lbs?
The 165 x 16 wide track has 30 sq inches more track than the poo 174 15 wide track. Not sure you can get any closer for apples to apples.
Compare as you please. But the classification is pretty cut and dry in my doo eyes
doo - poo - cat
154 - 155 - 153
165 - 163 - 162
174 - 174 - n/a
