I had a great time with everyone who came out to the shock workshop last weekend. It was awesome to watch everyone become comfortable with making setup changes. Shocks are one of my favorite parts of snowmobiles and to be able to share my knowledge with eager riders was awesome. @ridefoxpv @polarissnow #polarisambassador #sledsetup

Massive weight savings with the @racermsha inspired wrap from @arcticfxgraphics . Only 6.38oz total installed weight 🤯. Great question from @the_dodge1

This build isn’t an unlimited budget mod. It’s about compounding gains. A few pound of boost added there. A couple of ounces removed here. A little less rotating mass. A little more airflow. Together they change the sled into something uniquely powerful.   This year had three main goals. Performance. Durability. Lightweight. 2026 @polarissnow Khaos Boost 155 / 325 PERFORMANCE Horsepower @vohk_ 100LL tune + clutching making 240HP Suspension @ridefoxpv QSE on-the-fly wheelie or hillclimb mode / 3.85lb weight loss Rotating Mass @zollingerracingproducts titanium and LW components for drive and driven clutch / 1lb weight loss Hood + Intake @speedwerxusa lowers intake charge temp / 5.18lbs weight loss Venting @startinglineproducts + @vohk_ because heat-soak is a performance killer DURABILITY A-Arms @vohk_ chromoly lowers are wallet insurance / the pair is only 1.2lbs heavier than stock Rear Bumper @vohk_ bending tunnels is not a habit I’m interested in developing / 15.2oz heavier than stock Skis @algerhythm ski savers + @salazzking ski stops / a 3oz part that solve a pet peeve LIGHTWEIGHT Exhaust @startinglineproducts at $63 per 1 lb of weight loss, it’s the best value for your dollar / 6.5lbs weight loss Clutch Guard @carbonpursuit because it’s not a mod build until it has carbon / 1.15lbs weight loss Wrap @arcticfxgraphics RMSHA inspired lightweight wrap / 6.3oz And yes… speed holes. And no… the oil bottle is not full. We measure everything around here. FINAL NUMBERS hp added = 50HP weight removed = 22.5lbs weight added = 4.4lbs #polarissnow #polarisambassador #modsled #turbosled sledbuilds
