Mine fell off my 21 before I had 20 miles on it because the plastic mounts split where the screws go through. The 21s I swear weren’t supposed to come with them but every RR we’ve uncrated so far has had them in the box with no other special add ons. My 15 tucker rr and 19rr had aluminum mounts for them. I guess they cheapened them up now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can prolly agree that there are more race wannabes” riding cat than any other brand. At least they decided to start with the right equipment. After that…well….. Yeah they are shit skis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily here it’s usually not too terribly cold. I have a mid I put on when I go up to Canada. I had a mid touring on the 600 limited I bought last year and it was zero air on the body but the way it came over and hit my helmet I was getting a neck workout every time I went over 50. The low does absolutely nothing and the mid does pretty much nothing but a little better 😂. My dad ordered an orange limited, his last sled was a 92 wildcat “mountain cat” 700. His only request was put the biggest windshield they make on there and figure out who makes the warmest gear now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 If we're talking speed, a zr3 is definitely better in the twisties than any rider forward sled. It's an all timer chassis. But, a pre ETT sled will give it a run.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when the chop starts, it’s over. Absolutely. Age for age though, those old Cats were never what I would consider, great handlers. All they did well was carry the skis and break rear bumpers. I drug more buddies out of the brush in corners on those things than any other sled back in the day. Everyone that I knew that could ride them fast strapped them down. Then they would get their asses handed to them coming out of the corners because they couldn’t put the power to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
