Great video as usual Dan and team, I would love to see a video around "picking the right sled for your riding style". While we all love the crazy shit you do in the back country I think there are a ton of people who will only ever do some of that and knowing what sled is really going to perform for the various needs we all have from an expert like you would be really kick ass!
Thanks Pierre, sorry about the color. We shot this on a new camera and are still working out the details on the color grade. The footage is graded but not near as good as it could be.
@@NextLevelRidingClinics no worry, content is king and you guys over deliver in this department. I know the drill, new gear , new problems ;) keep us learning, and on edge. Our sport is evolving because guys like you always push the boundaries. Thank you, you guys are gentlemen as always.
Awesome in depth video. Still no idea why nobody has pointed out the plastic brake resovoir. First thing that caught my eye when snowcheck happened. Seems like a decent step backwards
That’s about the only thing that im not looking forward too on the new 2022’s. Literally everything else is great, except that plastic brake reservoir. Guess we will all have to buy one from Zollinger or whoever.
@@steak8278 Yes it’s absolutely not a big deal at all because we could just get a billet reservoir protector but to be harsh it’s a negative thing and we all liked the heavy duty metal one for the last 10 years haha. Oh well, we’re getting a badass sled though!
I was lucky and I know it. I’m from western New York and somehow my dealer was the only dealer in our area able to get one. Tho Polaris tried to pull it out from underneath us when we submitted the build they gave It back with a little pull from our Polaris rep.

@@billkenyonbk All the better, all paint does is keep the heat in on the exchangers. Even thought they don’t run all the way to the back on these, paint is the enemy of heat transfer. Boost boost boost bang I’m afraid.

Awesome video. Love the new 22 models. Did the video editors forget to color this video? It's like they took the raw footage and didn't adjust anything. So flat...
Yeah we shot this on a new camera with a flatter color profile and still figuring out the best grading process. Much apologies. We will do better in the future.
@@goonsquad554 I’m sure they aren’t cheap to replace if/when they break. Last ride out my buddies rmk screen kept shutting off on him, all wiring and connections were good. Just seems like a pain in the ass and extra expense for something you don’t need.
@@CalgaryDynastar So, thought the same thing as you do about the screen. However, it's super durable and once you have your friends all connected up (super easy just an app), you'll never want to go without it again. The GPS is a life saver sometimes, and the ability to see where your buddies are at all times, know when they are stopped (wiped out/stuck), etc. It really adds a completely new level of safety and convenience. Just an opinion here of course.
Flat land guy from the prairies north of the border. Snow checked the matryx slash 146. Predominantly off trail boondocking style of riding. Please tell me I ordered the right sled haha. Comming off an axys switchback assault 144x2 and I wanted something easier to get on its side and ultimately more playful. However the new shortened coolers on the new chasis have me a bit concerned. Thoughts?
they can put a turbo on that helps . I own 21 khous and a 21 summit expert, polaris needs a real track like ski doo the summit powers though the polaris gets stuck its in the track and when you have power to pull the track bigger lugs on a 3.5 help food for thought polaris .
Hey Dan! What about mayryx pro vs khaos? What would you recommend to a new rider coming from a dirtbike background wanting to ride trees and meadows and everything in between? Thanks!
I’m definitely a khaos guy! I really like the fun factor of the khaos and remember that you can make a khaos into a pro for free….whereas making a pro feel like a khaos takes a bit of $$$$ to really do it right. Go Khaos…you won’t regret it 👊
Great video! I’m really curious about the mapping software on the 7s, does it have Topo? Would love to have a way to see short cuts when boon docking. Thanks!
Topographic base maps, with elevation contour lines are standard on the 7S. The MY22 software and wifi support also allows the operator, when connected to wifi, to download sections of Satellite view maps, to store in the 7S and use as the base map, if they want.
You can pull the low windshield off and be left with the wind defector right? nothing different going on there is there? my dealer ordered mine with the low windshield.
Pumped to have a boost coming! Side note, why are you guys recording in a flat color profile (normal) but not color correcting in post (not normal)? I've noticed it on the last couple videos
I'm looking at buying my first sled but I'm not sure if I should get a trail sled or crossover, I live in ny & I'll mostly be riding trails but want to be able to go off trail to, thanks for any input
Get a Matryx Switchback Assault 146. They can come with a 1.352 Cobra, ICE Storm 1.50, Cobra 1.6 or 2.0 Crossover track, anything with a 1.50 up track will perform pretty good offtrail, especially with some better Crossover skis, like Polaris Grippers or SLP Mohawks.
@@TacomaTraveler that was a rhetorical question, my point is that they have decided to remove one of the great features they came up with and replaced it with having to drill holes in your chassis.
@@TacomaTraveler would it have been too much to ask of them to put keyholes in from the factory? You’re going to put non factory holes in your sled and congratulations your warranty is void. Also there’s no need for your douche bag comment, I’ll gladly have an open conversation with someone but no need to be an asshole
Removing the rear cooler helps with snow to not stick under the tunnel but it will pile on top of the tunnel. Look at any cat machine and you will see this.
The new drivers are dual extraverted drivers with anti stab kit. Erik from Vohk explains it around the 7 min mark of this video. th-cam.com/video/-JsMeLEKaKk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheVOHK
Can’t get a boost anymore. However I currently own a summit x turbo and absolutely hate it. The power and throttle response is amazing! However the feel and handling of the sled IMO is horrible. It’s very heavy feeling, the front end is so loose and feel you have zero control or pressure. I am comparing this to my 2021 alpha. Both self are 165 track lengths. Handle down the alpha is much better sled and feeling IMO. I have not ridden on a newer Polaris but I am told they feel a lot like the cats do. So IMO hands down the Polaris or cat are the way to go. I ride at 7,000+ elevation
@@vincelombardi2669 thank you for the response! i personaly ride a 2010 cat m8 sno pro and its fun, but i kinda want to upgrade it after some time, i understand that the turbo models are sold out, i like having control over my sled so if you say that the summit feels like piss to ride i will maybe look into a cat or polaris🤠
@@varvik7119 I love the power of the skidoo but that’s it. Personally I would buy a newer cat and turbo it if you want would be a great combo or I would getting new Polaris non turbo on because they are sold out. I personally snowcheck 2 Polaris khaos 155 boost. So far I am only getting one boost. I’m selling the other 2 sleds. I feel Polaris is number 1 then cat then skidoo/lynx. I think you’ll be very happy with the Polaris
@@vincelombardi2669 ait, I ride on an elevation of 1551 feet so I don't need a turbo, would just be nice ya know? I heard the matryx 850 non-turbo is quite more responsive than the axys khaos so I think non-turbo works ;D
So now it has the same self adjusting clutch and the same brake that Arctic Cat has been running for a couple of years, why did it take so long time to pick that up?
@@djg1028 yes. But all the brands have been using that tech on SxS for awhile now. So it’s just marketing almost. The feature is very nice don’t get me wrong.
@@kadecooper246 Yeah, and with arctic cat having the self adjusting clutch on all of their models this year I’m a little bit surprised that Polaris has only done it on the turbo model. All the other mountain sleds and all the trail sleds all have the same clutch that needs belt deflection adjustments often. However, the fact that Polaris came out with a new clutch this year and only put it on the turbo models says two things. It says that the turbo is so powerful it needs to always have perfect belt deflection so you’re not ruining your belt but it also says that this clutch must be pretty good if they’re testing it out first on the sled with the most horsepower that is going to put it under the most torture and abuse.
Here is something very important you forgot to mention that you NEED to know.You cant buy a 850 Boost at all,there all sold out!! Example ,a level 1 dealer was allotted 4 boost models only and most of them sold there allotment within 2 hours. So keep on telling us about the cool new features and well just watch you ride yours next year.
I got a question, I see that new self belt deflection adjustment clutch is only on the turbo model this year. I would say it’s safe to say it’ll probably be on all the rest of the mountain sleds and all the rest of the trail sleds next year seeing that arctic cat went to a self adjusting clutch on all models this year?
The 2022 boost runs way better than my 2019 BD 850 on 10psi and race. Way better clutching, better track speed, and more drivability on the bottom end.
I don’t understand why the snowmobile companies don’t partner with the aftermarket companies so you could have a sled with say a Boondocker turbo Ice Age elevate kit and handlebars and safety tether etc. etc.
I'm skidoo guy myself but Polaris has handed it to brp on that dash damn skidoo step it up touch screens what and a set of ride adjusting shocks on display as well maps ......what ....
Im not him but If you think of it as how much a NA 850 makes at 10k feet say at sea level makes 165 and at 10k feet it loses say 30 hp so thats around 135 hp just example. The 850 boost would make 50% more than than that. Make sense
What more could gus want, maybe better reliability. I think Polaris makes some really good machines, just don't find them to be very reliability, poor build quality from the factory and to many cheap Chinese parts. I haven't owned a Polaris snowmobile, but from the problems I've seen, and all the recalls and stops sells, don't seem like they are any different then their atvs and sxs's. Great video though, you do a lot of them and I have liked them all.
@@skibumm47 What you spent is irrelevant.. our opinions on value are not concerned with what you spent... but with what else that money could buy. We're happy you're satisfied with your snowmobile, but most people don't have 20 grand to drop on a toy.
@@lennardtackett He is comparing the prices of the factory turbo to his aftermarket turbo sled. What he spent isn’t irrelevant, your comment is irrelevant.
Snow checked one last March and now they tell me I might get it sometime in March of 22. What crock! Brag brag about their machine and can't deliver it.
Matryx chassis has best in the industry thermostatically controlled Smart-Warmer hand and thumb warmers. Across the line LED Head and Tail lights, since MY15. And most of the Matryx flatland & crossover sleds have standard touchscreen GPS with configurable instrument gauges. 2 ply tracks on the flatland sleds, Large capacity gas tanks. Of course Polaris has always had a standard manual recoil starter on all 2 strokes.
@@davidrowley8251 You know what I’ve never thought about when buying a mountain sled? Gee this really needs a thermostatically controlled hand warmer, led taillights/headlights, a touchscreen gps unit and my goodness is this recoil nice. You sound like a Polaris salesman lol, I could care less about all that stuff as long as it rides well and does what I want why would I care about gadgets.
@@CalgaryDynastar nice! People think you actually look at the gauge in the mountains. I only check my rpms to make sure clutch is running right and how much gas I have. The rest is useless since you can’t even see it 95% of the time
@@shanemayers777 for sure, as long as she is revving within max range that’s all you need to know. The rest is trivial, that’s why I will never own a mod sled, seen too many times when buddies I ride with are staring at their gauges cause something is fucked. Stock sleds more than enough to take 90 percent of riders where they need to be.

How much of a difference is there between the Khaos Velocity vs Pro Velocity without HSR LSR?
You should tell people that you can’t get a boost at this time. They hit there quota for the season within the first day or two of snowcheck.
Yep partner we built this video prior to knowing just how limited the boosted sleds were going to be.
Thanks for watching!! 👊
Anytime brother. Polaris kept that secret from us that they were putting a cap on orders. I get it. Great videos thank you

Will we get an update about snowmobiles not showing up?
The tracking tech your talking about, it would be great to have a standard across the industry for safety. No more getting seperated from your buddy on a skidoo lol
I noticed in some videos that the undersides of the tunnels weren’t painted. Is that just just because these are “demo” sleds?
the underside of axys tunnels aren't painted either probably just trying to save that extra few $ during manufacturing.

I spent 14K on the the 2019 850 and then added a 6K turbo plus some other goodies. The 2022 outperforms it in every way. 20K isn’t too much IMO.
@@skibumm47 What you spent is irrelevant.. our opinions on value are not concerned with what you spent... but with what else that money could buy. We're happy you're satisfied with your snowmobile, but most people don't have 20 grand to drop on a toy.
@@lennardtackett He is comparing the prices of the factory turbo to his aftermarket turbo sled. What he spent isn’t irrelevant, your comment is irrelevant.
Shorter tunnel and no rear heat exchanger.....Cat has been doing that for years.
side note : still seems like a sick sled 👌🏽
I’m ready to sell 2021 assault 850 144” 2” too fuckin wide off trail.
Everything new on this sled is old news on the doo
Op sleds
Snow checked one last March and now they tell me I might get it sometime in March of 22. What crock! Brag brag about their machine and can't deliver it.
2022 and Polaris finally sells a mountain sled with a factory tether 🤯
only 3-15 years behind the other manufactures.
Matryx chassis has best in the industry thermostatically controlled Smart-Warmer hand and thumb warmers. Across the line LED Head and Tail lights, since MY15. And most of the Matryx flatland & crossover sleds have standard touchscreen GPS with configurable instrument gauges. 2 ply tracks on the flatland sleds, Large capacity gas tanks. Of course Polaris has always had a standard manual recoil starter on all 2 strokes.
@@davidrowley8251 You know what I’ve never thought about when buying a mountain sled? Gee this really needs a thermostatically controlled hand warmer, led taillights/headlights, a touchscreen gps unit and my goodness is this recoil nice.
You sound like a Polaris salesman lol, I could care less about all that stuff as long as it rides well and does what I want why would I care about gadgets.
@@CalgaryDynastar nice! People think you actually look at the gauge in the mountains. I only check my rpms to make sure clutch is running right and how much gas I have. The rest is useless since you can’t even see it 95% of the time
@@shanemayers777 for sure, as long as she is revving within max range that’s all you need to know. The rest is trivial, that’s why I will never own a mod sled, seen too many times when buddies I ride with are staring at their gauges cause something is fucked. Stock sleds more than enough to take 90 percent of riders where they need to be.
Turbo……
Doo’s will always be better everyone just plays catchup
Thsnks the great video tell the camera man to shut his mouth
