Probably my favorite sled ever. I had an 800 ext and it just plain worked well. I did a better rear shock and motor mounts. Simple to ride and simple to beat. That skid was the right size for that chassis. And the damn thing was comfortable. Easiest riding sled I've owned. The turbo probably took care of the last thing it didn't have. Top end. I ran big windshield and aggressive carbides. I don't recall seeing triple digits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure smells that way by the way you're going at length to defend Cat and their latest launch. We get it, you love it .... good for you. Others, including myself, are impressed but Cat could have done more ... MUCH MORE. And because of that, they continue to lose customers to BRP and Polaris. The way the economy is right now I would think any brand would be cautious about putting all their eggs in a basket and running it down a rough trail.

I don't get why you're so invested in defending a product so badly ... heck, I'm not even bashing it (that much). All I'm saying is, Cat has had PLENTY OF TIME to come out with something to actually deliver. And they didn't even do that ... they're just stringing along what they have left for diehard customers. Had they come out with a new chassis and a "hypersled" class engine - THAT would have been a jaw dropper and given many the option to consider trying Cat again. But what they did now? Not so much. Stop crying ... and look in the mirror when you say someone sounds like a woman Have a favorite car brand? Gun manufacturer? Cookie flavor? I haven't owned anything but a Yamaha for 24 years. Ridden all makes, but only owned Yamaha. Being happy with what you like is not a stupid thing. We all do it to one extent or another. To make it a big deal is disingenuous and in the end, I bet hypocritical.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
