Sit on a matryx or axys or pro ride, they are not close to as far forward as a REV at all. In that video the rider stated the catalyst felt like a Polaris. Interesting comparison when Doo is the sales leader, if poo copied doo ergoes why would he compare it to a polaris?

Thats their best chance of success. Agree with this for a couple of reasons. Poo still won't release their turbo 4 stroke and Doo riders that still have not switched to Poo by now are likely not going to so open season for cat. But cat has a shitload of work to do first and most of it is going to take years. They need a proven reliable performance 2 stroke. If it lands next season it will take at least 2-3 more seasons to prove to everyone that it is the real deal and reliable. They need to purpose build the catalyst for the Yami engine i.e better balanced overall than it is in the PC chassis. That's if they still have the option to sell it moving forward. The drive train needs to be bullet proof reliable with zero issues. No clutching problems, no drive bearing problems, no issues with the new belt drive, period. If they can get these things ironed out I think they can take sales away from doo. Oh, and the big one. If their sleds are going to be the most expensive options on the market they have to better in every single way.

I love that, and can't help but hear Ramstad bitching about that comment And the not-so-surprising comment of, "Obviously guys coming from an 850 or turbo it will feel a bit lazy" (expected). Would of been nice if the speedo was in MPH. Wanted to see what that puppy could do at the end of the video. Nice matching suit also!!!!!

mnstang Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Pretty sure the snoscoot was more rider forward before any others. Oh and last I checked all these sleds have slide rails too oh my gosh I just came. -idiotfreedomsledders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery though You can’t win over Doo riders they’re a cult following that refuse to try anything else. “Ski Doo is the best and I couldn’t tell you why but they are.” Remember these are the people who had 500ss’s and were amazed they had “600 like power” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember that. Naming a 600 CC sled a 500 has a tendency to make it feel a lot like a 600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poo has already won over more than a few and it shows in their sales numbers. There's been by far more new poos on our trails over the last couple of years than anything else.

Just checking in to make sure you mean this will make people switch from Doo because Doo still can’t figure it out? Even their 600s don’t last around here. Big bore etecs are 4000ish mile motors and 600s are 5-6k life expectancy. At least the Ctecs are 300 OR 15k mile motors and polaris guys don’t act like their 4-5k mile big bores are bulletproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News flash tho, based on the majority of posters on sled sites whatever they ride is the best hands down. Not just Doo riders. There's a couple of Cat guys here that prove that point.

Too many diehard cat fanatics have argued for too many years that cat has the perfect product lineup - see dumstad. Poo has improved their products a shit ton over the past half decade and their sales reflect that. None of this has anything to do with how many miles a given rider can put on a 2 smoker before it smokes. My 600's had zero issues ever. Even my fucking old as dirt 98' ZR died only because my son decided to launch it onto a solid pile of ice that he thought was snow. I call total bullshit on any 600's failing early these days unless user fucking error. Big bore smokers? YMMV regardless of brand so again, not the reason anyone is buying one manufacturer over the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... Back when Cat went out of business, Polaris tried to capitalize by offering an elTigre-like machine in black with green accents. I liked it, but couldn't afford a new sled in those days, so I settled for the snow suit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
