Here's another. I generally agree with both of these guys' impressions from my test ride. I preferred the Backcountry 850 for sure though.

Well yeah, they are 10 years behind on engine techonlogy :D 

except for the fact the new cat for 20 has a full k load of major motor parts making about 8 more hp. add that to the fact that the 18 and 19 cats I ride with  are neck and neck with my summit . and that is after the 1/2 day of fucking around to get this doo motor in alinment

It’s got its work cut out for it if it’s going to be as good as a Skidoo Back Country 850.  Very impressive sled, and I’ve gotten to spend some time with a couple friends who have them this year.

The fuck? Doo and Polaris are the only real games in down unless you want a turbo 4-stroke...

Decided this AM to go for a solo ride, drove down to La Riviere and rode out from there, got lost a couple times but fantastic conditions, IMO if you can take a day this weeken and ride next week starts the melt, I am sure myself I will ride into April somewhere this year.

This guy is a  simple.  He shouldn't be reviewing anything..."The riser seems kinda low for stand up riding".....on a trail?  Retard right off the bat.  And about the 5th time he mentioned how the Poo lifted the skis easier, I was done.  That's because this is a real suspension and many performance riders prefer to be able to steer with their skis.  Also, those trails warrant a turbo sled..

I have no interest in this sled tho so, maybe he is the kind of rider that does.  Just pull the coupling blocks, set up the rear for shit and wheelie away!  Woo hoo!  Retard.

You wearing Crocs too?

I should have been.  And a dress.  I was PMSing pretty bad with my clothing malfunctions.  Not having my tunes really upset me and a bag of socks under my helmet calling itself a balaclava exacerbated the situation. Luckily, my new goggles kept fogging up so I looked like Chucky Schumer out there.  WHAT A GREAT RIDE!!!!  :wall:

Still, I was able to run down a couple of fancies on their new 850 "hypersleds".  They were probably still in break-in mode tho.  At least they had all matching gear....they looked really good......as they waved me by.  Prolly wanted some space to practice their wheelies or something. O.o

I'd still say the KYB's are the best stockers out there on any sled but the new Fox shocks are seemingly pushing for the top spot.

Any of you Cat guys looking for a shock upgrade......

That's not a bad price.  If somebody could snag all three for $11-1200, it's a good deal.  Wonder why he's not selling the center with them?  Kinda weird.  He's better off selling them as set.

The new mapping for the 800 cat is causing more problem for some.  The new 800 is an awful motor.  It's like 12-13 cat all over again. :snack:
