See what cat comes out with for 23 again I don’t hate the Mach and I’m sure some will Love it. But I was hoping for t cat power and it’s just not there. If you have traction it can 660’ pretty good. But if you pin it at 80 mph there’s not really much there. Honestly I’m not sure it’ll top end an 850 corners quite good.. Doesn’t mogul very great. Will bottom out without trying too hard. Premium gauge is a lot nicer than cat. But the headlights suck in comparison. active suspension does seem to work. Switching between firm and plush is nice. Cable throttle is a big improvement over the absolute trash they had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 26, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Be interesting what they all do for spring offerings. I really think Cat has no choice but to up their engine game. While not my favorite chassis I'd likely order a ProCross with a new 1000 2 smoke twin if available. If only a 900 I might go another route. If poo or doo would make their turbo's available in anything shorter than the 154/155 I'll get one of those and make it into a crossover if the front is mountain width narrow.

Was concerned about what I was hearing it sitting a bit lower than the Axys which I love. No longer a concern as it was virtually unnoticeable and the 7s would be worth every penny. Even if they only offer it in a 155 mountain I'm considering making it into a trail sled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get you about 230 hp. The factory ECU is locked up tight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s kinda it… if it was still unlocked and you could get 30 more hp for $600 I think I’d be happier.. it needs that to truly run with a T cat. maybe by next season someone will have cheaper options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
