If cat thinks they can develop sleds through things they find in xc racing, sure spend some money on it. However if it's just for bragging rights don't waste one dollar. Nobody cares about it and they need to focus on so many more important things than some lake racing that nobody cares about or even knows is happening. Aren't they also racing a consumer sled against a Polaris race sled? I mean who cares? Nobody. -
Please explain how a belt final drive experiences slippage. Clearly just copy and pasted that because you don't know what you're talking about.

No, just no. Absolutely not. Nothing like riding a sled on trails, at all. Maybe if you're sitting down puttering around on two track. But judging off your choice of bike that's probably what you did. Which again, is fine. We're just very far apart on things.
Riding dirt bikes on trails takes a lot more energy, cardio, and strength than a MTB, so you should probably just avoid trails altogether.
We haven't hit the bottom yet
It's all good. It's not so much about being a purist it's just when you start saying you will whoop on people with that bike, you're just way off base and don't know what you don't know. Sure maybe on a paved bike path for a limited range, so would a 50cc moped or car for that matter. And just because you're not obese doesn't mean you're in shape, if you're so avoidant to pedaling a bike our definitions of in shape are likely pretty different, which is ok but I digress.
While I don't doubt that.. the people that own a bike like this are people like you, noobs to bikes that have no standards, extreme entry level people. What makes a bike is the components. Your suspension is not worth the weight it carries, it's only there to check off a box for entry level buyers when they're comparing and buying on the internet. Your shifters, derailleurs, crank, brakes, etc etc, component level is what makes a bike. Like I said your bike is fine for your use, a retired person to putter around on paths and get some fresh air and feel alive again. Congrats. It's an entry level, or sub entry level for most bike people. You would not do well on a proper single track MTB trail with it. You've never even rode a proper single track. This is all fine BTW. Enjoy your bike for what it is. But it's not what it's not. We do have an idea what the bike is about, if you're into bikes it's easy to see what it's about.
