They don’t sell well. Skidoo has the 85 hp 2 stroke non pv engine sled. they also have it in the so called tweener sled. Excellent value but the 600/800 etech kills it in sales Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent value but the 600/800 etech kills it in sales i was thinking more in the 105 hp range.thats where that 500 fell in. but unless its a very much lower price, yeah , 600 cc would be the one more would choose if there only seperated by a few dollars.the price difference would need to be significant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they wanted a 100hp class sled they could have one in about 5 minutes as the big 3 already make them for racing. The sled market has been flat for a decade and it is pretty much known what sells and what doesn’t now. As crappy as cat’s sales are, they have trimmed to their offering down to what 85% of the snowmobile market buys. when the economy slows down you will see the others trim down to similar speced sleds as cat.

p51mstg 251 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I miss our 500 XC SP and still regret selling it. As much as I admire Cat for bringing the 400 single to market (I've ridden it, and liked it), I think it will eventually fizzle. I don't understand why Polaris still makes the 550. Ski Doo knows how to make money with their detuned Rotax - that could be the blueprint for Polaris and whoever is left after Yamaha moves production across town to Argo....
