Crnr2Crnr Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) looking at pics of the previous Cross Country's torsion springs, it looks like they copied Cat's. Edited November 16, 2023 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Got my hands on a 24 Polaris 600 Cross Country today. That sled is built to WIN. If I was just starting out, no way would I buy a RXC and probably not a XRS Comp Package either. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying Polaris brought a sled to win. Have to stick $1000-1500 into the RXC to get them to the same level as the Polaris offering.

Proven BS as early as last spring, fake want to be racer. Brief rundown of what I found that Cat falls short on (inc. upgrade prices): -C&A skis right out of the box. ($300-350 inc carbides) -A useable 4 wheel rear axle ($300-400) -Vespel hyfax ($125) -Eccentric limiter strap shaft (not offered on a Cat) -A useable windshield ($100-125) -Racing pads and rotor ($400+?) -Race shocks WITH DSC, larger shock shafts and larger shock bodies ($220+/shock) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
