They sell as many as they can produce doing what they're doing. So there's no point to further complicating things. All those Polaris' were ugly anyway. Colors are neato I guess but that's a minor perk it is not a reason I choose a machine. Zr,6000 is breaking all of your brains you guys are so obsessed with him it's pretty pathetic and he stands up to all of you guys, that is pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as much as I like color options, having 2 or 3 choices would be good. And Cat is allowing you "add" different windshields, bumpers, bags, etc when you "build and price" the sled ... but these will come as accessories the dealer orders in addition to the stock ones that come on the sled. However, I would really like to be able to have track choices. Or at least do the track swap program they used to do... I'm not a fan of the RipSaw2 personally and would swap to the Cobra if I could. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word from an Arctic Rep when they had the Catalyst sleds at Eagle River is they are only producing 6000 Catalyst sleds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when is having leftover sleds at the end of the season bad for customers? Pre-scamdemic everyone expected leftovers and an option to score a new sled at a good price. In low snow years there were just more models to choose from and at even deeper discounts. Dealers can sell their shit for whatever price they want to.

I'm not a fan of the RipSaw2 personally and would swap to the Cobra if I could. with certainty... they've screwed over snowcheck customers in favor of producing dealer floor stock models how many years in a row now? wonder how many will be getting their $1500 next winter when they're delayed yet again. Poo's snowcheck options are without question fantastic for someone who wants their sled a specific way. If Doo and Poo can offer two or three tracks per model, why can't Cat do... something for their snowcheck customers? I much prefer the Cobra as well, which only comes on the RXC trail models. Rip2 on hardpack isn't horrible but in loose snow it's shit. P&D are also smart in offering their customers ice tracks as not everyone wants to have to stud their sleds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early years of the Firecat, with the 4 different graphics packages, which also included the color options to go with the graphics package ... those were some of the best! I still regret getting rid of my Dad's F6 Nightfire - but he just wasn't ready for that chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s for all the Cat owners switching that said they loved the Gray, I see they also put a little green on to help ease their transition. For the rest of us, we have color choices. 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziemann Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I believe Jim @ZR6000RR went to great lengths to defend Cat's primer gray..... I thought it sucked. Now Polaris? WTF.....that color combo still sucks. Fortunately, primer gray isn't the underlying theme for all of their sleds like it was for Cat. At least with the Polaris, you have a choice. Thank god Cat left that color phase behind.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziemann Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 My Cat Alterra 700 is also gray..... I think Cat would have been OK had there been more contrast against the gray colors that Cat was using. At least the Polaris is using more contrast against the gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziemann Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) I think that blue Catalyst at least in the pictures was pretty subdued. My guess is that it pops pretty well in the bright sunlight? Edited March 13, 2023 by Ziemann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, the Blue on my ordered Catalyst was the first sled I chose a color. There have been sleds that 100% caught my attention due to graphics and color, and as a result I purchased. Obviously, they had other major attributes that sealed the deal, but the color or graphics did get my attention.
