850 2013 xp wheelie

Hello, Did some wheelies today at my friends house. He has a 2013 850 xp and I have a 2016 570. We had a very hard time trying to wheelie the 850 which is in great shape (under 500 miles).

the 570 is mine and after doing alot of wheelies on mine I tried his. First I noticed the suspension is softer on his ride, throttle seemed less snappy and I could not get the wheels off the ground.

Is it a torque difference? weight? some thing else?

Just seemed weird it has twice the hp but it would not get up easy. His father could do it he is a very big dude though.
