how much actual chassis was changed? IDK the RXC looks good though, I dig it.  edit: 137" ?  hmmmm... 

pile on boys, this isn't the brand specific safe space... and don't forget to in on one.

Not a question. You can't tell a difference on 4" of track on the ground. Well 99% can't. 

So do you think you could tell a difference between your 137", and a 145"?

Of course. Not going back to a 121, let alone a 115.

That's weird because the difference between a 137 vs 145 is the same as 129 vs 137.  

You say you can't tell the difference to the 129, but you say of course you could tell the difference to the 145?

Can you? You race? Smarter than Zach and Dave?

Can I what?  I don't race snowmobiles.  I have no idea if I'm smarter than Zach and Dave (whoever that is), we'd have to do some IQ tests to figure that out, but I don't understand the relevance of these questions in relation to my question?

Dave Brown  is a Cat Racer and Engineer. They tested. 137 won.

How could it be better? You said nobody could tell the difference

But they ran the 129 procross most of the season

What? They update mapping every year. Even a moron would know this. Fuck! Even snowgoer is brighter than you.

I know you're a moron, but its not that difficult to under stand.  They have to certify every single change.

They tested the 137 in 2019. 

Why did the 2021, 2022, and 2023 race sleds not have the 137?

Oh, yes I know who the Brown's are.

I will have to disagree with you on the thinking that what one racer prefers means it's better for all people.  This comes down to personal preference, there's not a right and wrong.  I race dirt bikes and you could ask 10 racers what bike they like or what traits they like in a bike and you'll get 10 different answers.  Because people have different riding styles and ride at different speeds and value different traits and feelings from a machine.  I would bet that Zach and David have different setups to their race sleds.  Also what these top level snowmobilers racers like really doesn't apply to trail riders.. both in the terrain and speed/intensity.  What they do is worlds apart from a trail rider.  Totally different.  But even if it was the same, like I said there's still no right and wrong, it's personal preference.  If he likes the color purple that doesn't mean purple is the best color for everyone.

But back to the original point.  Cat does offer a 129" again in the catalyst so they must know there is a difference with the lengths and pros and cons for each one might appeal to different buyers.

Ask Zach? He actually races.

Crazy how they skirt that,  every year.

I'm asking you.

They tested a 137 in 2019, couldn't race it in stock classes in 2020, did not run it in open class in 2020, and the race sleds remained a 129 until 2024.

Why?

Do I but a 29er mountain bike or a 27.5" mountain bike?

I mean, it is only 1.5 inches.

Wow! So you do suck dick. Mountain bike compares?

Sure, why not.  Tons of variables such as frame and suspension geometry, wheel size, component selection.

It all dictates how the bike handles, rides, how easy it is the pedal, etc.

What?

Lets say you take 3 mountain bikes, all the same except wheel size.  26", 27.5", and 29".

Which one is the fastest?

Which one has the smoothest ride?

Which one handles the best?

That's only 3" difference which is one inch less than 4".

Road bikes more your speed?  The Spandex crowd?

You have 3 identical road bikes, except 1 frame is aluminum, 1 is steel, and 1 is carbon fiber.

Which one rides the smoothest?

Which one rides the harshest?

Which one is the most efficient?
