I simply can't get comfortable on that chassis. You don't feel connected to it like the G4 and Axys. Those are just facts not a bias or a slam. As luke pointed out numerous times. Cat guys are like that grown up that can't let go of the blanky they had since they were a baby and still think it's the best blanky ever.

I only assume you put on 100 miles or less a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply can't get comfortable on that chassis. You don't feel connected to it like the G4 and Axys. We keep commenting on how many new Cats we DO see on the trails the last couple of years. It seems like a lot more than in the past I would like to see a new chassis or a modified one. We have had a couple of Procross and still have one. I decided to try an Axys a couple of years ago even being a big Cat guy. It was hard to get excited about buying another sled in the same procross chassis so I said fuck it and tried something else for once. I like both chassis but I much prefer the Axys ergonomics. I wish Cat had more playfulness in the chassis like Axys does, though the planted Cat chassis is flatter on the trails. That difference in playfulness is probably the biggest factor in keeping the Axys right now. In fact that and the ergos are the only thing I can think of that I prefer over a Procross. I’ll probably ride this thing until Cat tweaks the chassis more or comes out with a new one. What I have seen first hand and found amusing is some of the crap that Polaris puts out and then listen to the hardcore Poo fans knock Cat parts and quality control. Polaris is absolutely no better. Super fun sled but unlike when on a Procross, I literally worry the front end is going to fold up like a tin can at times. i have zero interest in a G4. Even if it was the best sled on the snow, which I would strongly disagree with, I couldn’t take walking out and looking at it everyday. Who goes out and buys the ugliest vehicle they can find to park in the garage. I never thought Doo would continue to make their sleds look worse year after year. That’s not being brand biased. They simply look like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 So it sounds like cat doesn't need a new chassis. How long do you think they can go on selling the procross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
