I was hoping to see them extend the 2 strokes into the trail segment and not just the mountain max this year.......was hoping it would have better looking colors....... not the case.......

@Crnr2Crnr..... does sound like the "only available the Polaris Race Team" Cross Country has the tipper rails and not the XCR

So..... has anyone been able to confirm whether or not the 2022 XCRs have the tipped 136 rails ????? Looking between a 650 XCR 136 or a VR1 137......be nice to know about the rails on the 136....

At least they won't be battle shit charcoal grey ..... And they have a few models Cat guys want...... the RIOT 998 Turbo for 1. Or at least did in 2021........ Maybe this is Cat's plan all along.... build up Yami so they can produce more for them .... while killing off Cat's numbers so they don't have the responsibility to develop new products..............

Did a quick count tonight..... I got 63 Cats that I have owned.....and I probably missed a couple....... This year.........well...... All I got is it was a sad sad sad sad sad 60th release....

Spending a day riding a Matryx next week. Definitely not a DOO..... Maybe a RR and a VR1 or XCR ??? Or maybe even really stir things up and take next year off...........I can honestly say I haven't missed not having a sled since selling mine almost a month ago........

That was the point of that........ The XCR is pretty much a given. As is the turbo for the MNT guys.... Price increases and delays on deliveries........well.... we saw what happened this year with some of the deliveries.........

XCR in Matryx QS3 options on a few models Turbo 850 for the RMK Price increase by 35% And guaranteed delivery of your 2022 spring order before pre-season starts for the 2023s............

Yup.... those Jags....especially the Jag Specials / Jag Zs were a blast. I agree on the 500 SP.... I may have to start looking for a clean, stock, low mileage, non-teenager beaten to death unit this summer. Maybe that will be my "take a year off" sled.....LOL...

I honestly regret ever selling my original 2010 500 SP...... But not sure I could stomach buying someone else's sled at this point knowing how mine was from day 1. But I have often thought about getting another one.......definitely not another 720 however...... I'd either leave it stock or do the 1 thing I haven't on those sleds yet.... the 602 big bore......

I know......such a simple fix............SMH....... Got black skis, never got them on before selling it......

I honestly don't know. Actually not missing my sleds....sold them all this season. My 21 RR went a couple weeks ago......and it hasn't stopped snowing since.............. Maybe take a year off and see how I feel about sleds after that. Cat will probably still have the ProCross for 2023.... so what would I miss......LOL..... Oh.... 57 is closer to the number of firecats I had......... only 14 ProCross sleds so far.......LOL.......

Not currently offered...... but I'd bet a 500 SnoPro would easily......... Damn those sleds were tits in the tight and twisty trails.......still wish I never sold my "original" one........

Yes, that is a sweet sled........

Seat Concepts.... they make tons of seats for a lot of powersports applications. Took over 6 weeks to get mine, but love it. Looks the same as the long MNT & RIOT seat, same height, etc. BUT the foam density is 10000X's better than the crap Cat uses. Reminds me so much of the 500/600 SnoPro seat. That was probably the best seat and seating position Cat has ever had........and this makes the ProCross damn close to that......

Yup.... The Lynx has me interested but not for $6K more than I paid for my 21 RR. Almost ordered a 650 Matryx last spring, but wanted to ride one first as I wasn't blown away by the 2020 XC 137 I rode. Might get a rip soon on a Matryx VR1 850 137 but for the $$$$, still leaning towards another RR. I like the ProCross and with the Seat Concepts seat, the seat height and foam are fixed. But I am still ready for something new after having 14 ProCross sleds...........it's time ........

yup. Same reason the RRs have been watered down over the years also.........

The LYNX is interesting and there will be many on the trails.... Price is what's stopping me from looking at it seriously as the RR (based on what I paid for my 2021) is more than $6K less..... But Cat hasn't released the 2022 prices yet so who knows what they will be this go around. You guys are all comparing the Lynx skid to the Rush /whatever Poo skid....but didn't Yami have a similar design in their late 90s/early 2000s SX/SRX sleds ? Had the transfer rods, etc ? I realize the rear arm is different, but maybe Yami was onto something back when they cared about snowmobiles......

Don't blame you one bit Chris. I actually have been having the same conversation about my 21....and the 19..... just think it's time to take a break. As you said, strong demand right now. So may be listing mine too.......and then, as you say, it will snow........ like a M-F'r too !

No need.... just found it interesting with the way the pic showed the chain, etc.....

Looks like the SP behind the Wildcat is in more pieces....... looks like the W-cat towed it in with the chain around the bumper........

GOD.... I must be ANTIQUE then...........LOL........... Oh a serious note, 92 EXT 550 was my 1st brand new sled. Then a 94 EXT 580 EFI in the "new" ZR chassis .....Then a ZR 700 and after that started my love with the baby triples ...95 ZRT600 we were able to get thru the race dept as an early release. 96,97, 98, 99 LTD, 2 2000s (1 reg, 1 LTD) and 2 2001s (1st year APV. motor..1 reg and 1 LTD also) .... I really loved my little 6 trips !! My last 2001LTD was the fastest I've been radared on a sled....123 on a LONG run on ice. Then I got into modding the 440 SnoPros.... But yeah..... I liked the late 90s/ early 2000s sleds for sure !!

You honestly didn't miss much. They were fast because they were light. But also tippy because of the narrow track, especially before the outer rear skid wheels were added. Had a bunch (go figure that.....lol) of them.... almost 1 of every limited edition -- multiple "SaberCat" and NightFire ones especially. But no Canadian or "Tiger" models. And a few of the 02&03 440 racers with big bore kits (04 is when Cat went more sno-x specific with the small tank, HOT ecu, etc ,etc and made it a lot harder to trail ride them). Loved them when I had them....would rather ride a ZR or twin spar now and never throw a leg over another firecat/sabercat ever again

Fastest set up is a 2003 with 1" track and a 06 triangle ECU....... Unless you have access to a drag box..... Stock, out of the box, either a 2003 F7 1" track or a 2004 EARLY BUILD F6... also with a 1" track. My EB 04 F6 would run dead even with 03 F7s across the lakes and be ahead of those with the deep lug tracks. If memory serves me right, we showed a 5-6 mph difference just between the 1" and 1.375" track on the same sled, same day, same "track" on the guns.
