Nothing like the reliability of an air aspirated engine. Love the brown twin pipe one. I priced it out and it came to $170,900 can. $9,375 us.

Thanks Carter

[@fricot_21]

Awesome video Dan!!! This was SUPERRRR HELPFUL! I've been contemplating all season how to proceed forward with fitting out my sled and this video dropped a ton of knowledge bombs! Gonna just do the essential mods to prepare for next season: lightweight rotating assemblies, maybe a big bore kit and possibly look at upgrading shocks. If I was a guide or had the ability to ride every day then I'd probably go turbo and full lightweight disease but for my situation and riding east coast, I think I got a good plan for next season! Sad that this winter was kinda weak on this coast but just means that next year will be better! Shred on Dan & Team Nxt Lvl, keep the content COMING!!!

[@Sackmatters]

Most important thing for me that isn’t part of the list is I need a headlight. I ride through the day into night a lot of the time. Light is a must have.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

We have done auxiliary LED headlights in the past but these days we carry a small battery powered LED headlamp for a worst case scenario. The stock headlights are probably the best option for night riding.

[@bradclarke6016]

its not hard to add a small rigid led light.

Might be worth noting, that shock system on the turbo sled is close to 5k as i recall

Nice video, just wanted to point out that the Boondocker Agility kit complete with venting and clutching and the adjustable control box will run you 7-8k not the 5 grand that Dan says in the video. Maybe you guys get special pricing but for us average joes that’s what you’ll spend.

Hey, boost is a measure of resistance if you’ve got a little turbo running 10psi and a bigger one running 5 that bigger turbo could make more power att psi then the little guy at even 15

[@dan33klein]

1992 W250 The engine can only “pump” so much air through it. And that is the resistance that creates boost pressure in the intake.

[@517keith]

Awesome video! Could you describe the power difference between the twin pipe set up and the Carl's 900?

[@yamahawolverine466]

I really wish he would have replied to this question. I guarantee it is a question A LOT of guys have.

[@twistingiron7285]

7:11 ish, just wondering why two pipes are lighter than one? Does this have to do with a can over silencer? Are two after market pipes lighter than one stock? Thanks. Great video as usual.

[@bodinsemrau1710]

Twisting Iron Yes, they are each smaller than the stock single pipe. They also had HP, which is why every pro open snocross team has used twin pipes. Oh yeah and they sound sick

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Yeah the twins are lighter than the stock pipe due to the lighter expansion chamber and silencer.

[@Icutmetal]

Bodin Semrau Exactly; it’s not brain surgery.

[@scottc9303]

What about reliability out each configuration?

[@BuildAProWorkShop]

Will polaris ever make a 4 stroke. I would like to see it. I've been a Polaris guy since I started snowmobiling in 09 with my 04 pro-xr with a 600 liberty swap into it. After a few sleds this year I wanted to go with a 4 stroke for the hp. I got a Yamaha with a bunch of mods that I could write a short story on but I want to have the longevity of a 4stroke and see other companies force each other to one up the weight reduction and hp gains from their models.

[@lucasaubin1661]

I don't think it will happen, what the market wants is what manufacturers do, and what the large majority of the market wants is a lightweight nimble sled and that's just not what a 4 stroke does

[@romper4444]

Well u got ur wish this year! Except you'll have to wait for the turbo model for some actual hp

[@ryanjordan3602]

Great video

[@Conman-xc8px]

Why don’t they super charge sleds I really don’t get it? They won’t have the lag. Maybe b a “BIT” more heavy but idk

[@austinnelson9046]

They do on cats speedwerks kit

[@javyngones]

Expensive

[@bodinsemrau1710]

Conman0320 Speedwerx makes supercharger kits for Polaris and Arctic. I prefer a turbo because I can fluctuate the HP as the turbo isnt caught up with the engine. A supercharger gives you no lag and 200+ HP with a tap of the throttle. Its a little too much, just my opinion though.

[@X5XST4RK1L3R]

Progressive power is better for most people/conditons superchargers are more snappy and turbos dont have another belt to blow. Plus superchargers generally cap on power journal bearing turbos just keep spinning as fast as the exhaust will push em. Turbos are arguably more reliable than supers too.

[@canadien15farmlife58]

I love RMK's, extremely fun sleds and very easy to throw around, but someone has to admit they're not the most reliable machines. The highest mileage RMK I've seen that's never been rebuilt had 4500km on it. That's not a lot of mileage for the average rider lol. Maybe you guys just got lucky with yours and they lasted longer, but I've never seen a reliable RMK. And a turbo is gonna cut that reliability down too. Those sleds are so much fun but I couldn't justify one because of how often it would need new top end parts lol

A new 850 rmk is about 14-15k out of the box…and if I had to guess with all the after market parts I’d guess each one of those sleds are anywhere from 30-35k maybe even more…and that’s without labor. Also this is their job and are sponsored by all of the brands they used to build these sleds so they probably get them for next to nothing.
