    Rush ... hands down.  Their music comes on & I can't turn the station fast enough.  I can't stand Geddy Lee's voice, sorry.

    The grunge era is a close second - can't stand Nirvana, STP, or Pearl Jam.

    Can't argue this but man, for 3 guys Rush put's out incredible music. Neal Peart,RIP, gone way too early

    The Beetles.  

    Love them or hate them the Beatles changed music for the better and were the inspiration for the majority of 80's and 90's band. Lennon and McCartney also wrote a vast number of hits for other musicians

    Do you have a link to this episode? The last "Real world sled of the year" snow trax episode I can find was 2023.

    I do know Snowgoer gave the Catalyst SOTY honors, fwiw.

    Nope watched it yesterday morning.

    There’s really nothing wrong with the polaris sleds I like them a lot too but their front end opinion is way off the real world. One of the conversations had that day was “when you get bigger carbides on the polaris like the cat they should be pretty close” they both had their respective 4” factory carbides on them.

    One of their opinions was that the Catalyst handled great in some conditions, not so great in others but that has always been my findings with most sleds so I took that with a grain of salt.

    The front end discussion has been their big thing they’re wrong on for a long time “it turns really good in loose snow but will get some inside ski lift when the trails are rock hard” yea no shit if it bites on a trail with no bite in the snow it’s really gonna grab on one that’s set up hard. They obviously have the cat over the ski doo for handling because no amount of talking can make people believe those things aren’t bulldozers in corners.

    We rode between Toms VR1 and a couple catalysts all day one day this winter and the catalysts could all turn in better than the Matryx and hold a line at higher speeds through corners. They both turn well and do well through bumps but the real world nod has to go to the point and shoot cat front end.

    The slide action skid is still a slide action, it works ok but not as good as the other two if you’re cruising around slow but in big bumps at higher speeds is where that skid frame shines. They probably do have a new one on the way in the next year or two though.

    Thanks, appreciate the real world reviews. I have no problem changing brands, not loyal to anyone and always looking

  5. No panic here, we got our 2 shots as we had no choice if we wanted any kind of normality, as did family and friends. Since then there have been multiple weird health issues popping up, son included and we all agree it was a mistake to allow ourselves to be guinea pigs. Coincidence???? Perhaps but will never let it happen again

  6. So.... as far as the Catalyst goes, what's everyone's take on SnowTrax SOTY episode, saying that the handling and especially rear skid are not up to par with the other manufacturers? I don't pay much attention to it all but suspected that the all new Catalyst would have been chosen #1, sure they would be desperate to give AC some love.

    Instead they gave it a design award.

     

    Did AC miss the boat, or will some tweaking straighten it out?

     

    Does AC have an updated rear skid in the wings?

     

    I have not driven one, nor do any of my buddies have one so have to rely on second hand info.

     

    On a positive note, looks like we have a new Arctic Cat dealer coming to the area, Georgian Bay Trailers have announced they are taking on the line-up, great news :thumbsup: Gives me another option, have no problem riding green if it's up to par.
