Im interested in who snow checked a 2020 or stayed with their 2019. If so what did you snow check??

I ordered a 2020 850 Khaos 155" 2.6" that I may convert to a 163". I'm happy with the updates on the 2020 motor and continued 4 year warranty. I might even keep this sled a couple years until the new chassis. Anyone else??

Keeping my 19 850, its not worth the $4000 dollar loss and if my motor goes I'll get a 2020 engine for free.

Keeping the 2019 850. Doing a 155" to 163" swap with Ice Age Khaos geometry rails and longer Khaos front track shack. Pretty sure the bearing thing will take out my engine at some point even though I've got 8xx miles of all deep-beating the hell out of it days here in Colorado and its still holding together. So planning on updated engine at some point too.

Not sure yet on the arm. Will have to see if Ice Age moves the arm mount location on the rails.

When I talked to IceAge about this a few weeks ago they were thinking using the rmk profile might be the better way for deep snow. But wanted to do some testing first.

Keeping my 19 SKS 850 146. I would of went chaos but it was only offered in a 155 and I live in the flatlands. I still want to be able to get stuck.


If your not getting stuck your not having fun.

Selling 18 Pro 156 x3 in the fall

155 2.6 Khaos with Kurts gearing/clutching - snow checked.

I just talked with Jeff there at Kurt's. Looks like their selling a lot of them. They have a 2019 155" 850 RMK that they converted the "new" Ice Age 163" Khaos geometry rails last week to test side by side with the stock 155" Khaos. It's of course a little different because the 163 conversion they did uses the new M-67 2.62" track. Ive never spent any time on that M-67 track, anyone else have some miles on it?

Any results or opinions on the testing between the two?

They all said they had the same oppion as mine and some others that the new Khaos shocks are way better than any previous offerings from Polaris. As far as the two tracks the stock 2.6" and the M-67 the snow conditions were not the best for good comparisons. Thats why I was wondering if anyone else has good all around time on this new track.

Sold my 19 850 163 2.6”, loved it after reflash and a little clutch work.
Ordered a 2020 850 163 2.6” along with a Boondocker sidekick kit.
Super stoked��
