It really depends on how you ride the sled, on the turbo one, probably not, but for the price/ease of swap i'd suggest you pick up a set and try it for sure :face-icon-small-coo
I have way to much $$$$$ in my 16 turbo 800- She is running like a pin and no reason to trade up with whats out there.
I did the top end last summer and did the HG7 hone from Dan and ticking around 2800 miles on her now.
New primary clutch for her next year- and will probably sit out for another 2 years till Polaris gets the 850 figured out and not scared to finally offer it as a in season sled instead of snow check motor only... The new chassis should be ready for the 850 by then.

yep at this point just wait for the new axys 2.0 we should see that next year no?
That would make sense. I think they've been five years per chassis for around 20 years (+/- a year, and it depends on whether you're exclusively talking mountain chassis). So I'd think there's a good chance 2021 will be a new or substantially upgraded chassis, plus you'll have a good idea whether there are any lingering concerns with the 850. Who knows if they actually stick to a 5-year cycle, but if so, I'd be holding out for an AXYS follow-on with a fully sorted 850.
I really like my '18 800 155. Already have a 37" Z-Broz front end to match the '19 geometry. Runs strong, feels tight after 1000 mi, and it would cost me $5k to go to a '20 850/163.
So instead, we are stretching to a 163 [and appropriate/longer rails] $1200, and upgrade my SLP can by adding a pipe ($300) and clutching. Done.
Sure it's an 800, not an 850 - but it is still a great sled, current ('19) geometry and short tunnel over a longer track. All good.

Sold mine and snow checked a 165 Hardcore Alpha. Finn give it a try and if I don’t like it will be back on the 800 Axys.

I have a 1000km, 2016 axys that I am keeping in case my 850 ****s itself again. This sled already saved my season when my 850 engine has blown, I am not selling it, keeping it as a spare just in case
btw, I still like riding 800 very much, probably even more than 850!
