Fastest poo was 110 or 111 and catalyst was Paul brown at 107 IIRC That's cool. After that long of a run they either pulled timing out or feed it some fuel. Either way a consumer sled would never live regardless of brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different than holding a stock 800/850 or even 600 for that matter pinned down a long rail bed for 5-6 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's stock ECU 110 111 for peak MPH it could happen. 5-6 miles with stock ECU won't happen as it will be pulling timing or dumping fuel in.

oldslowsledder Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 So.... as far as the Catalyst goes, what's everyone's take on SnowTrax SOTY episode, saying that the handling and especially rear skid are not up to par with the other manufacturers? I don't pay much attention to it all but suspected that the all new Catalyst would have been chosen #1, sure they would be desperate to give AC some love. Instead they gave it a design award. Did AC miss the boat, or will some tweaking straighten it out? Does AC have an updated rear skid in the wings? I have not driven one, nor do any of my buddies have one so have to rely on second hand info. On a positive note, looks like we have a new Arctic Cat dealer coming to the area, Georgian Bay Trailers have announced they are taking on the line-up, great news Gives me another option, have no problem riding green if it's up to par. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front end discussion has been their big thing they’re wrong on for a long time “it turns really good in loose snow but will get some inside ski lift when the trails are rock hard” yea no shit if it bites on a trail with no bite in the snow it’s really gonna grab on one that’s set up hard. They obviously have the cat over the ski doo for handling because no amount of talking can make people believe those things aren’t bulldozers in corners. We rode between Toms VR1 and a couple catalysts all day one day this winter and the catalysts could all turn in better than the Matryx and hold a line at higher speeds through corners. They both turn well and do well through bumps but the real world nod has to go to the point and shoot cat front end. The slide action skid is still a slide action, it works ok but not as good as the other two if you’re cruising around slow but in big bumps at higher speeds is where that skid frame shines. They probably do have a new one on the way in the next year or two though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calibration on the suspension is awful on the catalyst and it is very noticeable. IMO this is where the “seat” is to hard coming from. When you compare it to anything else you will notice the difference. They don’t need a redesigned skid, they to spend 5 minutes and have the thing calibrated right. If they fired all those people they can call carver and give him a couple grand to give them something that works.

One of the conversations had that day was “when you get bigger carbides on the polaris like the cat they should be pretty close” they both had their respective 4” factory carbides on them.
