Leftover Pro 165 Boost

[greasemonkey3406]

Found a screaming deal on a leftover 23 Pro 165 Boost with velocity shocks.
I have been reading a bit on here with people saying that they didn't really like the Pro 165 because it is way too planted.
I would ideally like to have a 155 Khaos but the price on this thing is almost too good.
I currently have a 20 Khaos 850 stretched to 162 so I dont think I will really notice the little extra track length on the Boost but I also dont want it to be completely planted.
My plan would be to swap out the rails for a set of IceAge Khaos rails, take the spacer out of the front track shock, add the khaos limiter strap and maybe swap the track to a Camso 300M.
Has anyone had much experience going with a setup like this and was it really worth it to make the changes?

With all that, why not buy a 155 track and rails, and cut the tunnel?

If youre already used to essentially a 162 length track, you should be good.

Yes, that's a good sled. I'd suggest riding it first, then tweaking accordingly. Especially since you're coming off an axys NA?

But if you just wanna go for it during summer season with Khaos ice age rails, longer limiter, etc. you won't be sorry. Maybe do the tunnel mod to accommodate the the 3.25" track while you're at it?

And if you're getting a smoking deal (which I'd consider something low $16s or hopefully $15s) then you may have cash leftover for shocks and tuning. Score.

It's been discussed at length in other threads, the 23 boosts benefit from having the latest flash along with some tuning/clutching. Then the latest evolution is the TRS/TKI power valve.

Have fun building!

No need to buy rails, the 165 rail tip on rmk and khaos are the same.

On the 24, yes they are the same. But on the 23 the khaos and pro were a different rail profile. The difference is noticeable.

I could of sworn all 165s were khaos profile. When I converted my 22 rmk to khaos the profile was the same.

Under $16k Canadian actually and they will take my 2020 on trade for a reasonable price.
I have a 23 Switchback Assault boost that I just did clutching and had the 24 flash installed and it rips so I bet I could get this one set up to run pretty good.

I bought a 165 Pro, converted to a 162x3 Khaos. It’s better but 100% wish I had waited and found a 155.

You can make the front end as light as you want on the 162/165 but the trade off is trenching, and it still feels long.

Under $16k CAD, that is a screaming deal. That makes the small cost of converting it to a Khaos a no-brainer to me.

Thats what I'm thinking. I could sell the new take off series 8 for a good price so I wouldn't really have to be into it that much.

Do the 23’s run as crisp as the 24’s with the updated map?

My 23 Assault runs a lot better with the new map. Got rid of the hanging throttle and brought the idle down to where it should be.

Just put a deposit on it and managed to get a 2 years warranty. Now I've got to strip down the Axys before I trade it in? Anyone looking for Axys parts? lol

Might want to keep it as a backup sled... two is one, one is none. Is selling the axys worth more to you (can't be much at this point) than not having a sled when your primary sled is broken down for whatever reason? Two is one, and one is none, sadly.

Having a Polaris = gotta have a backup sled!

I've got a few sleds. This is just something to play in the deep snow. I'll ride my 146 Boost or the Titan if this one is down.

 

[polaris dude]

Those CAD deals are insane. Powervalve + clutching + lightweight can/battery + tune makes for one wicked ride. You won't have to worry about feeling planted I promise you that.
