True, but with the past couple of winters spending large on a new sled is a difficult decision. The s x s you can operate all year. My son did this switch. Couldn't justify the high cost of the sled sitting there gathering dust while he had the option of all year use of the s x s. He unfortunatly can't afford to have both

A gallon ?

That might be ideal for that fella that claimed Cat sold out their Catalyst production in mere hours a year ago. Oh, what was his name now ?

Then the gutter it is

Will likely be down to two mfr's long before 10 years. What company in it's right mind would add A/C or any other companies line of sleds to their product mix. Snowmobiling does not appear to be catching on with the younger crowd and as a result less buyers meaning less sales. Low snow over the past few seasons does not help either. Hopefully the typical winters cycle back soon.

At least you don't have an insane carbon tax that just takes money from tax payers and flushes it down the toilet.

I often get a kick out of the terminology used in the "Greenies" methods of supporting their attack on everything that is bad for the climate and environment. At first it was designated global warming but then some years when temperatures were not increasing they changed the terminology to climate change. I'm thinking the climate has changed yearly since the start of time. Maybe time for a new term to be made up. Just checked the local forecast. Sunny this morning and rain this afternoon. I'm going to rephrase the above terms to weather degradation.

Where was this the last 2 winters in my area. Looking for a rebound this winter

I doubt many will miss a couple of production shifts. I don't even know if there is enough room for 2 sled mfr's anymore. The future of this sport is dim

Some time late last year watched an interview with the CEO of BRP. He claimed BRP was doing well and that he did not expect any fall out from a slowing economy and higher interest rates. Said that BRP caters to folks on the higher end of the pay scale and that these conditions do not adversely affect BRP. I though to myself what a great bullshit artist, can't wait for fall out. Drove by the local dealer yesterday and noticed boxes of sleds and Sea Doos sitting in his compound. Don't seem to be flying out the door like they did 3 years ago

Can't believe any company would want to add snowmobiles to their line up. Low snow seasons, average aged rider somewhere in the mid 50's, sales numbers dropping yearly and did I mention the low snow seasons. Doesn't seem like a sound strategy to me.

And now the Catalyst will take them to new heights. One guy on here said he never rode a sled so good. Out performed the Poo 650 easily. This after little time on the snow and not exceeding 40 mph.

High interest rates, over priced product and more popular than the Catalyst running around with a trolling motor. On the bold, likely also has something to do with the low pay in Alaska

And Doo (boost) and Poo (boost and 900r) have upped the game and probably already working on the next flavor of engine. This will not help Cat and their 858 imo.

I didn't buy one. Or was this just a comment in general
