Best sled to buy?

[J270wsm]

Sold my 22boost to fund a kitchen reno but the boss might allow me to replace it……what should I get?
850 and add pipe/can and clutching, A stock 9R or a stock boost.
If I end up getting a sled it will be a khaos slash 155”.
Rear bumper and different track are 2 things I will be adding no matter which sled I get.

There will be personal opinions all over the place on this, but I ride lower elevations, up to around 4,000 feet. I feel the 850 is more than enough sled for almost all situations I’m in. I checked a ‘24 850 khaos, I also have a ‘22 RMK 850. I prefer the 850 for its reliability and think it has enough power for most riders. Some riders may be able to ride the 900 or boost to its limits, but I feel for most the 850 is enough and the other power plants are for bragging rights. But again, this is just my opinion.

I wouldn't turn any of those down; for the right price.

If you’re on more of a budget, 850. If you’re used to boost and have the money, then get a boost

I found a 23 boost and a 9R, both 2023 and
new on the dealer floor. Boost is $21,5k and 9R is $20,5k Canadian peso’s. I’ve found a few 850’s varying between $15-18k.

Best sled you can get is my 23 155 kaos matryx 9r. Slp can, 7s, cv customs lightweight battery kit. That can be yours if you want the best

Flexible Flyer, love that sled. I still have it. It’s 58 years old and it’s never had a mechanical issue.
All BS aside. For the money, an 850 is your best buy.
There are a lot of ‘23 holdover 850s from what I’ve heard.

sales pitch is lacking a little…..lol

Yeah, a bunch of holdover '22 and '23 850s around here. I like my 9r, but I'm eyeing the 850s for big price drops in January

Just boost a 9r and you'll have all the boxes checked

id take a stock 9R over a piped/clutched 850 all day

Twin pipes or single pipe?
That $4000-$6500 uptick in price for a 9R is questionable. I’m not saying the 9R isn’t impressive, I just picked mine up. You can have a blast with an 850. Heck, I have fun on a 550 with a 163 track stuffed under it.
