Rod Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 The chassis is still one of the best. I’d like to see a 900 2 stroke and a better gauge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 See I was satisfied with the shitty cat gauge because doos gauge was almost worse. 90’s times looking mother fucker i guess doo still has that garbage can gauge and the nice one is like $900 more doubt cat is going to upgrade this year due to the shortages. a 900 2 stroke would intrigue me though. Has to be like 175-180 hp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p51mstg Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The seat on the regular Riot - should go with the trail seat. Also, should have a quick release and underseat storage rather than the zipper bag. Also, let’s dispense with an ignition key on all models and use a tether with a unique ID. Mechanically, I’m not going to be much help, I’ll need a lot more seat time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the key system is the least of cats problems 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member EvilBird Posted January 1, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted January 1, 2022 Id just like to see some badass color schemes , maybe a new gauge but I agree the current one isnt even bad for a standard gauge. A 900 2 stroke , would be Cat's style to big boy Doo and Poo. Thatd be badass id buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s better than doos base gauge that thing is embarrassing but poo and doos premium gauges are niiiice now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I would buy one if there Dimond pounders now but won't buy another deep snow cat till pretty much the whole thing gets redone to balance the weight. and also not drop the nose instantly when you let off .

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted January 2, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 2, 2022 Is it too late for them to make a come back of any significant amount? I wouldn't care if they made a 900 2 stroke. A lighter 4-stroke in the 150hp range I might look at. As much as I hate to say it, I'd probably look at a Thundercat if they put a descent colour combo together. But at this point I'm looking at a Doo for my next sled.

As long as the snow side of Cat is profitable, it’s never too late. I remain positive on their future. My job is in technology, I’m surrounded by it, I’m used to being on the cutting edge. But, as I’m riding yesterday, I realized how effective the Cat gauge is. As a couple of people have already said, Cat’s gauge is better than the stock gauge from competitors. I like the fact that they partnered with Garmin, and maybe they can get Garmin to come up with a multifunction display to compete with the Polaris 7s. Polaris really has the gauge to beat, and Cat is not in a position to beat them. But, there is one company who can - Garmin. They’ve been in the aviation GPS mfd business a long time, and the Cat relationship may be a better deal than we can imagine at this time. Again, I’m just not that good or that experienced on the mechanical side to offer anything constructive. I don’t know how to make the slide action better, for example. I defer to others on that side of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve owned more than a few Cats over the years and would gladly go back.👊🏻🇺🇸 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
