Doo has copied the tsl rear from AC both doo and poo copied the cast aluminum bulkhead from the RX1ton, poo went as far as coping the integrated chain case, and even yami's brake setup that makes you take it off before opening the chain case. Most of the poo croo has amnesia when it comes to the copy cat 900 and 755 confusion disaster. Polaris doesn't copy anyone,,, they perfect things.

Ziemann Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 20 hours ago, Kevin said: I’ve owned Cats since the 90s. The current ones have their share of problems too. Cracked clutches; driveshafts spinning on the inside bearing race; high idle; exhaust flames and melted plastic; turbos blowing out the oil tank seals; etc… Then there’s the annoyances. They make more tunnel ice than either Poo or Doo. Also, who the hell designs an oil fill tank made out of magnesium? You can’t see the oil level. A big issue? No, but just plain dumb.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it come from the same place. Nice cherry picked microfish on that outdated belt system. That doesn't show alot of the other components and how its hooked into the chassis, because Cat SMOKED POLARIS in that regard, or Polaris would have did it years ago for all of thier sleds.

Love to see all the Polaris and Ski-Doo simps crying thier eyes out. Hey, alteast they can gloat about that killer gauge and outdated belt system Polaris never got anywhere near as nice as Cat.

Ziemann Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 $20,999 PLUS $845 of additional fees.... PLUS tax..... For a dinosaur from a company that has no commitment to the sport at all, and after being left at the alter by Cat.... Can you imagine what it feels like right not being a Yamaha customer that was hoping for a Catalyst or better yet a genuine Yamaha chassis? Imagine what the dealers feel like? I'm shocked that the internet isn't all abuzz with excitement over the 2024 Yamaha line up...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkipinki Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) The ProCross won sled of the year in 14, runner up in 16, new suspension updates in 2020, along with newer plastics. Ya'll act like its so far behind. That 998 Sidewinder still sells out. Not saying the chassis isn't older, but hey, Polaris is running a 8 year old chassis, Doo is running a 6 year old chassis, its not like they are pushing the boundaries.

Kevin Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I don’t think Yamaha was left behind on the Catalyst. any person who gets that SRX with 1980 graphics is getting a great sled and a great looking sled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
