The RXC does look good.  But seriously,  "Arctic Cat slapped a hard embargo on certain information and boxed-in what we and others at the meeting can talk about at this moment. They plan to trickle information out to consumers over a period of time."  

That says to me not ready for primetime.  At this point I wish they would have just waited till spring.

their marketing department could use some updating as well. 

did you see the new chassis on... their website, their youtube page or their facebook page?

me neither

 

so there's still that...

No shit, I brought that up in the other thread.  That shit should have popped ten seconds after presentation.  A HS marketing project could have done better.  Ive been a loyal Cat guy for 30 years but I'll be honest, at this point I just don't know......

LMAO, the website updated!

Right? 

Pre-Orders begin in 2023, so do you wait a year or cross your fingers like the original Procross.  This should make @taperk600 happy.

I want to see one with an actual windshield... like Herf and the XC boys race with.  

Dear manufacturers, please include a windshield with your $15k+ snowmobiles and make the speedometer cover an accessory.

Yeah... but who named it?  They (TextronCat) applied for the Catalyst name in April according to information posted elsewhere.

Jeff Fischer just did a video on it. I think he does the sled head tv show. Any way he said the trail sled is slightly longer, rider is moved closer to the jack shaft, they used the snowcross sled’s steering system and it steers easier

was the Procross hard to steer without a 4stroke or SnowTrackers? 

is Textron updating his YouTube channel for him?  https://www.youtube.com/c/SnowmobilerTV_STV

same for slowtrax?  https://www.youtube.com/user/snowtrax

 

Looks cool!!!! Not sure about the name catalyst !!!!!

My 500 sno pro steered easier than my procross. The procross was not hard steer if you left angle iron and c and a skis off of it.

They will do whatever they are paid to do

Nice looking sled

I would assume this notch for oncoming traffic at night. Still from the front it looks like and old REV.

so they know which side of the trail to hit you from?

huh?

I think that has always had you on the edge not me. Looks like they are throwing more light to the inside. 

hey @Not greg b

tell the tards on HCS the tunnel looks nothing like the old SnoPro... nor much else at all.

oh wait, it's green and black = SAME!!!

how does that make any sense unless you only turn one direction... no one seems to actually know?

Per Troy Halverson the headlight is to make sure everyone who passes the sled at night, knows it is an Arctic Cat. 

 

Anyone remember the last performance sled AC built without a "tilted" tunnel?

Do you only ride in fields turning left all the time?

Nevermind him,,, he's a little slow 

That seat is really forward, they have a 137 on the RXC.  Polaris did well on the ice last year with a 137, it should be interesting this year on the Cor circuit this year.

That's kinda weird,I'm usually too busy paying attention to the trail at night to notice a weird headlight coming at me.

it's just so much easier to identify a new Polaris at night...

Yeah I have no idea where they are getting the sp500 tunnel connection from. Looks more like an old van amberg tunnel than a sp500 tunnel
