So owning a 2020 khaos and riding most of the season as a 155 2.6 with quick drive but then converting to a 163” rail and challenger X3 track with a full fox suspension setup it’s a night and day difference. The 155 is very playful in its handling but on steep slopes it liked to pull the front end up and trench. The 163 helps keep that under control and although it does pull the front end up still it keeps moving and doesn’t trench as bad as the 155 did. I did the ice age khaos rails and upgraded suspension and a Gear down kit if anyone’s interested in doing the same thing. It climbs so much better now and just pulls hard. The quick drive with 3” is awesome, especially with the gear down kit! Literally made my sled into a 2021 before they even where released and I love it! Perfect for tree riding, but way more playful then my old 17 Pro Rmk was! 👌💯
The exact information i was seeking. I ride a '19 850 Axys 155 with the chain case and 3" track. It's got a silber turbo on it and i run usually 5psi. When the boost comes on the sled trenches a little too much for tree riding so i was hoping to swap it to the Khaos set up with 163 length to keep it playful but allow me to tree ride as well.
You really struggle getting into any meat info. When you finally started to around 10:30 you only say “big difference”, but don’t describe it at all.. finally gave up there.
I have a 20 kahos 155 & wondering about swapping to a 163 x 3in along with 13-15 quick drive gearing... we live in Idaho & enjoy climbing. I have 2 older 163 Pro 800s
Not sure what's involved in the swap, but the Series 9 3.25" lug track is much better at getting on top of the snow and moving forward in our experience than the older Series 7 3" lug track. If you're looking to do a big lug, deep snow track conversion, that would be our recommendation. Thanks for watching!
Choice is a good thing! So many choices makes it hard to decide perhaps, but they all behave differently so it's nice to have the opportunity to choose from a variety of options to suit your riding style and terrain preferences, not to mention the snowpack where you ride most.
Hi Mike, the mic is a common lavalier microphone plugged into a Zoom recorder. To talk back and forth with each other we use Cardo Systems PACKTALK. Thanks for watching!
@@sleddermag What do you think of your Tobe suits? I just ordered the Vivid 2 after 3 seasons of suffering in an FXR turd. I went for the Klim Lochsa first, but it was sold out everywhere.

What mic do you use?
I've only ridden once but I don't see the allure of riding in the trees that doesn't look fun.
There's too many options three or four different lengths and different lug sizes belt vs chain case ugh
