Has anyone confirmed the BCXRS Turbo 1.5 gearing? Parts fiche claims 27/45 but want to know if anyone has laid eyes/hands on it?
My ‘25 BCXRS 850 NA has 21/45 gears and it definitely needs more gear for high speed running. I plan to go to 23 top gear but not sure if I need to go to a larger chain. I do enjoy the awesome bottom end pull but just need a bit more top end. Sled runs out of gear around 150km/h and goes into over revI believe that the gearing the in the turbo crossover should be centered around 2 different riding wants / needs. The more off trail oriented crowed with 2" track I would stick to around 23/45 gear ratio, this charges crazy hard 0-60 and 60+ hits hard to over 80 mph but it stops pulling and finishes off around 100 mph. This is in danger O.D speed and pretty fast for a 2" track to be spinning if Ski-Doo put 27/45 gears with that track its mind blowing.
The more trail oriented sleds would want to be in that 1.5" to 1.75" range and in there case I would lean towards 25/45 gear ratio, this would make the sled keep in the torque longer in the 60+ range and likley keep pulling hard right to sign off around 115 mph. Most if not all 850 N/A sleds will struggle to even hit a true 100 mph under most conditions unless its perfect lake running. Having a sled run a bit less gear but be able to shift it right out has always proven to be faster for me in messing around with these machines.
