My advice is go 165 its just as nimble but more track and get up in the deep snow I didn't have the 154 to ride but I would say you would of had a wheelie monster the 165 wheelied just stock so definitely the 165 if you are into the steep trees you'll really like it!

It is a trade off. 165 isn't as nimble as a 154. That is a fact. It is a matter of which side, nimble or more traction, you are willing to give up a little on. If you ride through the trees a little faster bordering out of control a 154 is for you. If you go slower and more methodical then the 165 is for you.

With your guys theory our mountain sleds are going to be 136s again here in a couple years and just absolutely whoopin the 174s. Shorter sleds beat longer sleds in the trees Lmao what are you guys smoking and is it legal to send in the mail? If the new 154 wheelied anything like the 165 does have fun trying to follow 174s again. Nothing will
Change, even a 163 doo doesn't compare to a 174 in the tech tight trees hills in real snow.

Honestly I am just buying a 154 because I already dominate old fat guys like 1500psi. It's really not fare. I feel bad when I ride with him. I would have got a 124 if they have them in Gen 4 so he could have a chance keeping up with me on his 174.

Hilarious! Sounds like good riding buddies giving each other a hard time...

Who you calling old you are ****ing bald and you wear a onezy Lmfao and after waiting a 1.5 hours and you having to go back to the truck for a longer sled you still have to poach 174s to make it. The video won't load but check my Facebook it's on there you poaching MF

Also if you are a bigger, heavier, taller guy a longer track sled is more proportional to your size. I'm 6'4' 245 and I fit the longer track sleds just like a pencil neck midget like Chadly fits his 120cc parking lot sled. Also set up, shocks and aftermarket suspension makes a HUGE difference. Not to mention riding technique. I put a toms emotion on my big bore 174 and the effect was dramatic. But I've seen great riders on stock 174s and they don't seem to have any trouble keeping the nose down while climbing.
If I buy a 17 it'll be a 165. But I'll keep my 174 and sell my 163.

Good post Matte, everyone's different and being the same, almost exact but a few LB's, agree. 174 or new 165 with mods for biggies, 154 for little dudes, everyone Happy.

Well except me, it sure doesn't make me happy when all these 155s think they can hang all day and by their 10th stuck your guilt tripped into helping them dig their fawkin junk out. Oh but they are sure light yeeeeah

Never get stuck 10 times in a day. Maybe three and I can assure you I am not taking the easy way. If you don't get stuck you are taking that easy way. .Anyone can go straight up a hill. The great thing about having handlebars is you can turn out. I don't get why you won't let this go. Not a right or wrong issue.

Let what go the truth Lol. You didn't get stuck much this year I'm sure cuz you don't have any snow. I guarantee you I'm not making anything up in anything I post on here. Friday waist deep pow and another guy I've never met 400 miles on his 2016 axys blew 2 belts and blown over the bars twice, had to go back cuz he didn't have anymore belts and his hands were freezing cuz his grip warmers don't work. Not to mention how bad he got beat all day tryin to climb my lines. It's deep in Revy right now but riding with Pros and axys is getting really old and listening to how great they are is even worse.

Wish they would of left the shorty track to the 800etec, and had the 174 in the snowcheck for 17... Pretty sure they would of sold a ton more.. Doo could of put a serous hurt on the others

They sold every summit allotted in less than 7 days. There was only so many 850 summits available. They are all sold out.

Rest assured everyone I bought a 154 just to shut 1500psi up about track length. Truth be told with 1500psi he has a big track, big hands, and big feet. I guess 3 out of 4 isn't so bad for him...

Two Dealers I called last Tuesday both had more than most of what they had allocated still available to sell.. And most of the ones sol were 165..

Would of checked one if they had them in 174

I'm still waiting till April 15th cuz that's the day, it's always the day. If they really don't make a 175+ like I said I'm gonna save a bunch of money cuz im not buying no fawking 165 just so the following year it'll be out.

Don't let this guy fool you. He's truly waiting for November hoping his hero Bernie Sanders will take office so he can get a free 165 in 2017!
