Hey, all those billions of gallons of race fuel you bragged about going though, did you put that fuel in “girls sleds” too? Yep. Most of the time the fuel went into 600’s. They were race sleds. My play sleds are not 600’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis set up they chose can’t do what they claim it can. Again, all they did was creat a longer track, larger lug trail sled that they can try to market as an off trail crossover. Fail. I saw 2 riots last weekend in the parking lot, they were unloading i was loading.. Nice looking sleds. But the dudes who had them..F250 with stacks and wheel spacers, all 509'd out with their gear.. They were really just punchable guys TBH.. Probably 28ish with 30k in CC debt.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been to every cat dealer in northern WI and MI for cat repairs. Only once for a polaris and none for a skidoo.

I think the sled is kinda ugly and something cobbled together from the ZR and M models. And about as useful. Just a poor roll out of you ask me. Textron has one more year to do something. They are definitely making race sleds again next year so, that’s good. What they will be is still a secret but....supposedly will be good shit. We’ll see.

That sucks because I talked to 3 dealers about snow checks and they all said that orders have been pretty good....hate to see Cat fall by the wayside.

More and more dealers arent selling cats anymore. And youre right it is disappointing but how long are cat guys going to buy slightly revised procrosses?

Ive heard that from other sources also. They absolutely are. Without any question. They lied and then cancelled the Race program. They have shown little to no interest in the snow side or, it’s being run by stay at home moms from the corporate side. See: “Trouble Making” one bangers. Wtf? However...it sounds like some light may be coming. Might be a fucking train though. I don’t trust Textron to do what they say anymore. But, others seem to.

Their(skidoo) front end is the latest but I would bet new ergos will be next. And they are selling "less weight" which looks like more cost cutting to me by thinning out rails and rear suspension parts. The axys is stronger and lighter.

The Procross is an epic frame and changes to the chassis have made it the best out there for a rough trail sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, they’ve got so much they can build off of so, I’m not sure what that thing was all about. I mean, most that have them seem to love them but, they bought them to ride trails and occasionally bust 1 foot powder. Beats the fuck outa me.

A new breed are rumored to start stepping up to the role. I’m curious to see how it works but, like I said, there’s some energy in the race arena brewing and they are definitely making a racer for next season. But, and again, I don’t trust Textron, so....
