Palu49

it’s the same part number but it’s not the same foam. Sit on a 24 right next to a 25 and tell me they’re the same.

I believe Tom’s catalyst made 124.5 at D&D and his 650 made 128 or 130

If by high performance you mean RXC/XCR/XRS. The RXC wind that for all around build intention. XCR is very close but they’re still soft for what they’re supposed to be. XRS (comp included) is the same mushy ill handling, bump steering pile of shit it’s been for years. More comparable to a limited cat/ Poo Indy XC, the doo just handles much worse than both of them too.

That’s not good because I have a curved brake lever too

Yes

The cat front end is the best in the business is a hill I will die on. The Polaris is definitely very good. Ski doo have sucked since they kept the same 2003 front end geometry on the 2008+ chassis. My 99 670HO was fast as fuck so I like their idea there.

I ordered Rox gauntlets that wrap over their handguards after the 2° ride home last night. I think that makes me officially old

Permits or snow?

It was mine and Billy’s. When we got there and nobody had really been on it Billy is the one that said “it shouldn’t be too bad” in my defense

This was in a foot of packed ish snow with 10” of fluff on top of it. I looked at it and said “this must be how people rip them off” then did it anyhow because I’m a moron.

On the topic of steering, I can say the an arms are stronger than Polaris’s. I’ve been wondering how all these idiots are ripping snowflaps off the catalysts until I did it today. Thing was ripped off and under the sled before I even knew it got sucked in. Did 180 miles today on literally every type of trail. Tried to cut over 8 miles of a goat path trail nobody rides much, but it’s a good connector to really good trails. We were first tracks since their last snow, got a little over half way found 4 giant trees down and no reasonable way around. Turned around, I ripped my flap off. Got about 1/2 mile back and my buddy popped a washout just right to break the an arm on his Polaris at opposite corner welds. We got her rigged up pretty sweet and made it the 15 or so miles back to where we could get it on the truck but not before his wife stuffed another washout going slow and whacked the bars and cracked a rib. Probably not gonna use they cutoff trail for a while.

You have to really try hard to have a problem on a Z1 Jag

I don’t ride with midgets but I’d assume it would be the same if I did

My 600 is giving 858s and 850 Polaris’s fits corner to corner right now. Even in the few field trails.

Another vote for stock cat skis actually being very good. Shapers are good but now you can buy Woodys mavericks that are the same thing but last more than one road crossing.

I believe he’s racing with northern again this year. His Facebook posts have made it sound that way.

My synopsis of a Twin spar is. You can ride one 400 miles in a day on anything but tight twistys, get off the thing at the end of the day and not know you rode a snowmobile. If you wanna ride hard, not the sled for you. If you wanna bang out miles in max comfort they’re hard to beat to this day.

Why can’t speedwerx keep pipes together in Zach’s mod?

That’s a reservoir and always super sketchy to be on

We haven’t had any significant snow melt once we got it this year. It’s gonna be 35 Saturday then right back into the teens/low 20s. One of the coldest Januarys I can remember here. Too cold for snow in a lot of areas unfortunately

None broke on mine I’m too slow. I just fought with one shock for 2 hours and had to have one of the cat engineers tell me what I was doing wrong because I have no business doing my own shocks, but she’s back together now and I’m gonna ride it to dinner tomorrow. I had a bleeder shim in wrong when I pulled the slugs out, must’ve got lucky on the other 3. Launched it off a couple snowbanks at my shop, sent it through the ruts in the parking lot and it seems good to go.

I think they’re @Crnr2Crnrs neighbors in Wiscansyn

Not sure. All I know is they were headed there today everything else is real secretive rumors, big if true.

Allegedly paperwork was being signed today

He didn’t race last year either I believe he’s on the Corey Davis cross country 500 only schedule with CBR now. Hes got something to do with Doo’s RMSHA team now I believe.
