Will it help with cooling, if so I know a special Cat supporter who will buy in.

At 325 miles this year they could warranty me for 15 years and probably still be safe

That's what I'm thinkin. Gives it one more year for improvements and hopefully they slap the 4 year warranty on it

I would not want to own any brand outside of warranty, have one year left on my current ride. What to do for 2026

You just have to pick the sled with the lightest color, every ounce counts

One bump and the F7 is pointing skywards. Same comment could be made for the Catalyst 858, a 2000 ish XCR 800 would decimate it. Jus sayin

$ 27,500 for the one I priced (128) at my Ontario dealer plus 13% tax. That's MSRP. Needless to stay sticking with the 22 for another year

I'd make the sleds all the same colors as some colors may be heavier than others

Didn't say which sled the fellow was riding. Wonder if it was a 25 Poo Proto with the dog deflector option. Read an article the mushers are doing a good job killing these dogs themselves. So much so that PETA is getting involved. Leads me to believe that the dogs are to worn out to stay in their own lane

Or both

And even more weight now to handle the dog deflector option. Some of the Cat guys used to say the lighter sleds (Doo and Poo) would fold like tin cans, apparently not the Cats though. Now light weight is the best thing since sliced bread. And I agree by the way

Can you post the comment I made about climate change being fake, I don't recall saying that. Saw an article about dogs dying in the Iditarod Race. No mention of any Poo sleds on the track. You hunting them for food

Took far to long to bring to market a sled to compete with Doo and Poo. After reading comments here and other sites this sled was far from hitting it out of the park. This is what Cat needed. They had a chance here to take customer input and were not interested. Yup, that will keep you in business. #1 talked about sled for 18 months, remind me again how many units were sold

If this is the case, it likely explains part of the reason Cat is struggling to survive. If you don't listen to your customer, and clearly Cat has not for the last 5 years easily, then it's a downward spiral. In my opinion.

Talked to my dealer about an XCR 9r. Before I asked him for my price i needed to know what my 22 XCR was worth on a trade. Market is flooded with leftovers and used sleds. Said he wasn't taking trades but would take mine due to my purchasing history. He gave me his best price, I fell out of my chair. Don't even bother giving me a price on the 25. The industry is again in trouble.

Sales don't count. Ask the 3 Cat no minds to provide their explanation, again

Guess Poo will have to develop a sled with a helicopter guard, could be an option on the 26's.

The 858 coming out the door is already behind the 850 Doo Turbo and Poo 850 Turbo and 900r. Cat is already starting from behind the 8 ball. Also consider that Doo and Poo are already developing replacements. This is going to be a tough haul for Cat in my opinion.

But hey, according to someone they sold out almost day 1. That must mean something. LMAO

They tested that all winter and apparently it worked, it deflected an entire dog team and the operator kept going. Wonder if they'll create a version for northern Canada where we have run ins with polar bears and wolves. Priced out this model. MSRP $ 27,130 without freight and PDI, thankfully my dealer doesn't charge PDI or MSRP. Plus HST 13%. Still not enough for me to deal unless they give me $ 18k for my 22. Wonder if the 25's come with the exploding gas tanks, maybe that's an option now

Beat me to it. I was going to add that this was achieved thru extensive testing this past winter

On the bright side, if there is a bright side, ice will go early this year and boating gets going sooner

Just checked the long range forecast for South Central Ontario. No cold and no snow. 325 miles, pitiful. On a good note the sled did not blow up

I recall a time on my Indy 650, rode for 3 hours non stop on relatively smooth trails, had lunch, came out for the trip home, ran for a half hour, stopped and asked my buddies jokingly if they could ride back and get the truck. The old stuff was great for the time but I don't miss them now.

There's women, they just don't have teeth. Like the men, ask AH440
