But I guess it is all relative. As much as I enjoyed my RS, I was ready to move on instead of buying yet another ProCross. It really is the pinnacle of Cat's engineering. Mine was by far the best calibrated sled I've ever ridden out of the crate. And I am 300lbs..... I missed out on one a few months back and yes like most used sleds they are overpriced but as I said it’s clean, the shocks on it have to be worth the price of admission and it’s studded…also helps that it’s local to me. I’m happy to hear your comments about how well it’s set up…I’m about 230 plus gear so it should work well. It will be a second sled in the trailer but who knows…it might become the primary ride.👍🏼❄️🇺🇸☃️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha offered them good money for their sled division, but cat wanted them to buy the ATV and SxS division too, which Yamaha does not need and to pay for the other two just to close the doors on those was not an option for Yamaha. Textron came in and bought it all, then fucked cat and made Textron labeled ATV and SxS which nobody but a cat-tard would buy.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy I bet they love to see you coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, good friends,..I have a bit over 400 accounts in my state, I'd guess 25% of those accounts are in the power sports business, Do about 1300 miles a week of windshield time, 40-60 shops/week....Used to stop at a lot more cat dealers, but after the Textron deal, and the lack of them offering floor plan a lot of them dropped the line.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would those be 128/9 or 136/7?? It is mainly for ice racing, it forces you forward and down, in turn making your sled handle better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought is they didn't want to release the new stuff until they produced all the outstanding units...otherwise everyone would just cancel. That maybe a far fetched theory, but it's the only thing that explains it total lack of marketing for this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 But wait, they limited preorders to avoid that. They can't be now waiting until those are delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it’s to late for a 2022 that hasn’t been built yet, so it makes no difference at this point to take pre orders. I wonder if cat is in the final stages of being sold off? Sure hope so. To Argo ideally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would care if the new ones came out with new graphics. The price increase alone is enough for those existing customers to keep their orders if they still wanted a Cat. The Ski-Doo and Polaris release should have been enough for people to jump ship that weren't getting their Cat until the season was over.
