Looks like they have done a good job of simplifying the sled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to know what's better in a 129" skid without coupling blocks. They were tinkering with those during the photo shoot but never explained what they were doing.

I am sticking with the 137 skid with ATAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get to look under the sled at all? not for 2024. Steel arms, Front is a normal coil over with slide action, Rear has torsion springs and normal looking linkage for shock, just without torque links, or coupling blocks Edited February 28, 2023 by krom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get to look under the sled at all? Not very much. Both 129 and 137 skids looked the same to me from a distance. I'm not sure why the mechanics volunteered the information that they were working on the skids with and without coupling blocks, but that's all they'd say.

I’m sure some people will pay up for the catalyst being it’s the new thing. 22k for a Thundercat lol. My bud wants to upgrade his 20 winder for a new one I sent him a screenshot of the Thundercat price he said he’ll keep riding his 20 he paid 14k for new.

What's the new yamacat going to be? $25K? At least I'm not riding the most expensive brand anymore. Cat definitely decided to lead just with high prices. Will be interesting to see what Poo does on the pricing side. Now that they know what the competition is doing they could easily undercut everyone and drive a lot of Spring orders. They had the most leftover sleds at my dealers so might not be a bad strategy for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 750 dollar rebate it puts it well under 15k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Ski Doo compares to the Catalyst - MXZ-X, Blizzard or Adrenaline? I can't imagine being new to the sport, traying to order a new sled - the model numbers are confusing as hell (all manufacturers, to a certain extent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
