Have you even been near one or on one before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , but they aren't as good as the MXZ and Renegade XRS The CMotion rear skid is not even close to being as good as the RMotion. Yea, I ride with someone who has one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely comparable to an SBA for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev144 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Not much snow in forecast and lots of rain. Maybe I'll just start riding my sled around sand lake and take photo ops like @Zambroski. Sled will last alot longer and save me money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more than that the Renegade is the better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am done with shorties, the 137's just do everything better. I have jumped back and forth on the same models in different lengths and it is immediately noticable how much better the 137" is. I would even argue about the tight turning being better on shorties, I am just not seeing it. And I own and have owned both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ridden 137s and 129s back to back, several times. 129" is a better sled in the tighter trails. Definitely way better than the 146" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 14 hours ago, Kev144 said: I feel based on this forum, there is one cat guy without run quality issues which is zambo but it's a race sled. Any 18-20 cat, flamer 2012-2014 procross a fusion esque pos Did anyone buy a 15-17? Jesus 16 6000, bought used. Over 4000 miles now and I have had zero issues that have kept me from riding. Just basic maintenance, gas, and oil. A big two stroke just isn't going to be long for this world, doesn't matter who makes it. I'd really like to see Cat do a triple 900 with an extra cylinder based off the 600 ctec. Offer a 400cc one lunger, 600cc twin, 800cc twin, and 900cc triple. Could even use a 300cc one lunger in the ZR200. Basically two modular engine platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely way better than the 146" I agree with this sentiment. The 129 is perfect for me mostly trail riding. Get a decent track and it will get you through the occasional fields of powder or untouched power lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take all the suitcases off your sled and throw them in your truck to do your overnight tourism extravaganzas. More comfortable and just as much fun (music depending).
