It doesn't make sense unless they entirely change course on the 850 ... which I don't see happening (not this year anyway). Cylinder is the same between the N/A and Boost 850. Head and pistons are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palu49 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I don’t feel as bad about the 858 not making more power than the 9R after seeing the price on a 9R XCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Just got home and still haven't seen the official release, other than a couple Facebook posts from the ambassador guys. So, first thing's first ... no 9R Boost? Dynamix Shocks are supposed to be the cat's meow, but I'm sure the price tag to go with it is absurd. My buddy said he figured the 9R XCR would be right up there with the Boost ($22K before getting it out the door). If that's true .. good luck to Polaris on selling much this year, after the shit year 2024 was for a snow season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to hear what Ben tells you when you call and say, “Hey, i know you’re very busy but I like to argue on the interweb and did you just get a call from AK440 asking about the MY25 release. Oh… what? No one by the name of AK440 called, well gee, ummm, who else have you spoken with this morning? I’d like the names of everyone you’ve spoken with for the past 4 hours because this internet arguing thing you see. Oh, you don’t have time for this shit, wait! This is Crn2Crn and I just called him out on a forum… Hello? hello? You still there? Ben…?” Let me know how that goes for you. Out to dinner with family... can anyone tell me at what point in the video they announce the... Boost 9R? It's kinda noisy in here... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of riding 80, Jim only rides 8 so his only need to adjust 20 times a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
