that's excellent, unless they SkiDoo'd a few crucial areas to reduce heft

I’m surprised it doesn’t have some attempt at a liability cover on it but my understanding is the bolt holes are for the reverse mechanism when the 900 turbo comes, but you’ll have to ask Jim to ask his contacts for confirmation on that.

I'm thinking an aluminum spider web...

I'm sure jim will have the engineered drawings dropped off at Roger's house any day now.

just out of curiosity What is the production belt composed of ? hopefully its some type of poly chain and not a rubber/kevlar variant

You shouldn’t need to worry about it as the belt will last longer than machine, it never needs adjustments and racers have never broke one.

10.4 gallon IIRC. So figure 60lbs of fuel, 17lbs of oil and coolant. So looking at a dry weight of 430lbs.  Pretty damn good actually. Although the mountain sleds are always lighter than the trail units and I'm sure the Alpha one helps a lot there.

so an RXC should be 450ish dry, SnoPro territory.

If you sat on a cattle ass and drank 15 beers, then wondered over to a vr1, you would think to your self the cattle ass is a child’s Sno pro 500 with vr1 leg room.

So you bought one (supposedly), yet never ridden one, but call it a catastrophe? You truly are one special fuck. I did ride one, back to back with the poo 650 Matrix. Hands down. Catalyst was better at everything.  Even fit and finish. For a fucking pre build!

I have bought trucks, cars, snowmobiles, motorcycles, atvs ect with out test driving them. If you call those pre built sleds good fit and finish you better go see a fucking eye doctor. They were rough. Also here is prime example why people don’t buy shit from cat. These skis came and one is yellowed. Piss poor quality control. 

You can guarantee the catalyst isn’t going to be light years better than any other snowmobile you can buy now. The last sled to do that was the original rev.

Bullshit ... you didn't ride a Matryx, so don't even try to say you did.  You've been proven to be a liar, and this is yet another example of you pulling some BS outta your butt.  Why would you ride a Matryx, given your hatred for the brand & claiming you would quit riding before ever owning one?

The last sentence tells the whole tale.  First you are the only dumbass that uses a capital f in for and more importantly the fit and finish of the prototypes they ran around for testing was awful.  Worse than early 90's awful.  That alone proves the lying nature of the rest of your post.  Of course you were also dumb enough to say you would quit riding before owning something other than a cat which does the same.

who kares about phit and phinish moar than phun phactor¿

Yup I called Him out on that last time after He claimed he would never test ride a Polaris but then claims he rode a Matrix 650 days later "back to back with a Catalyst". 

Then He backpedaled and said well that wasn't a "test ride".

Got to ride the Catslyst and Matrix back to back. You only assume my hatred. It is actually directed at the ass hats like yourself who hate Cat and there superiority to the brand you ride.
