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.

Ride them both, even the poo guys will tell you that the riot works better on the trails than the assault.

pc riot, which had the trail ski stance. Too long and pushy for me, but worked better in the twisties than poo

Catalyst riot has the narrow ski stance so its pushy and tippy

of course wtf do I know, jimwith says no one can tell the difference in track length

I’ve had my eye on a nice ‘20 Riot for some months now..it looks minty and comes with some nice extras…opinions vary alot and I haven’t ridden one. Then again I’m just talking about sleds I’ll never buy…..right Karen?😂🤔😉

I've ridden both, assault handled way better than the riot. It did have gripper skis and 8in carbides and the riot was on stockers with 6in. My rr handled better than both but for a crossover the assault was pretty nice. Off trail i was burried everywhere and he'd ride circles around me. Next sled will probably be a catalyst riot with a wide zr front end and custom shocks.

@ZR6000RR has a sled he'll be selling... perfect for you probably

speaking of Riots, since they're rarely discussed... if I lived somewhere there was a lot of snow and logging/forest service roads that don't get groomed to rip around on, or maybe in certain pockets of the UP I know of... the 858 Riot Sno Pro 1.75 might be an amusing buggy.

That's exactly where i live, 1000's of miles of logging rds, abd i live 1.5 hrs from the northshore and 1.5 hrs ftom the yoop. It's the perfect ride for me.

there's a lot of roads between Alberta, L'anse, Skanee, and areas north of 41 that don't get plowed or groomed.  sounds like you need a full on mountain sled where you are, and a backpack shovel.     

around here, it would be pointless.  then again, in the lower 48 most any sled was pointless this winter.

We do get a ton of snow up here normally, not really sure I'm ready for a 165 with avy pack and a shovel though....i hate to give up any trail performance but most of the group i ride with now is more into exploring the backwoods than hauling ass down the trail. Probly need 2 sleds

Two sleds (or more) is the only way to go if you're interested in both trail riding and off trail riding 

The grips wear pretty fast on these things. They are pretty much one season use and replace. Mine are pretty much slicks now and I haven’t road the sled that much 

I wonder if you'll be able to read actual coolant temp with the g8 gauge.  The sport gauge just gives a cold-hot gauge

I'd be surprised if this g8 doesn't provide actual coolant temps.  It looks like a great setup, and very competitive (if not better) than the 7s that has been the industry benchmark the past few seasons.

I guess what is better, watching a temp number or just watching for a light to pop up?

I know on all the Procross sleds we have, I watch that temp number way too much.

That's the one downfall to having the actual temp ... well, if you consider it a downfall.  I watch that more than my RPM's or speedo.

Arctic Cat has trained me to constantly watch the temp.  

Thank you Procross.

I learned if you keep running a procross until it shuts off on its own it isnt to hot lol. Next time run it 1 degree less than shut down temp lol

A tiered lighting system would be good.  I took always watch so I can deploy my scratchers but if it had a yellow light at 130 or something near there it would solve that problem with a red being much higher.
