Introduce a blue Catalyst? They wouldn't introduce a new engine, would they? Keyed tether? New tunnel bag? Something has to be new, doesn't it?

The remaining ones went onsale this morning, on the website. I was told to let customers know that the catalyst trail sleds had sold out roughly 15 min after the website started taking orders. This is pretty much what I was told this weekend. You have 3 basic groups - dealer allotment, website orders, and race program. I think I have finally been priced out of the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinkipinki Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Its also faster on a track, with a highly superior steering and friction less belt drive; but sweet $65 gauge you paid $2200 for, chevy malibu market share and 8 year old Polaris chassis, 6 year old Doo chassis😁 Edited March 9, 2023 by stinkipinki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re penciled in somewhere between Scorpion and Yamahas 2037 model year machines. Ski doo makes up most of the production runs now though. A guy that runs the Scorpion line told me this when we were riding unicycles last week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not greg b Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 My dealer is on vacation so his allowance of sleds probably haven’t been sold yet. I will have my mom purchase me one when they get back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p51mstg Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Okay, so I think we have settled on bng for Yamaha. Maybe Cat should hire the 3 last Yamaha snow employees and give them visas to work in TRF. That would ensure Cat gets better graphics next year. And I found something else we can argue about: Why Launch Control on production snowmobiles? I can’t see any practical application for it. Ski Doo is putting this on their fastest sled, not an actual race sled. Other than leaving trenches all over groomed trails, it’s a novelty, imo. I don’t get it, why did they spend time and money on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
