Wheelies unfortunately some like. It’s the fun factor man! Complete garbage for handling and corner to corner et’s. But it sure looks cool.

It does run. Got rid of 19, 20, 21, and probably one of the 22 sleds this spring. The stock 18 is the one to beat and those have not done the job. The 22 sleds were close until the clutches started pooping parts into the scrap bin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommcat Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 1 hour ago, Crnr2Crnr said: not DTR's Dyno... but close enough if comparing the 800 to 858. I'm fairly sure the first year Ctech 800 was 152 out of break in at DTR... and shot flames like a muthafucka! 🔥 this said... Cat kept calling the CT8 a '160hp class' engine which drove me f'ng nutz! the moment Cat calls the 858 a 170hp class engine I'll probably lose my shit completely... We didn't even see 160 with a pipe and tune 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the tides have changed I don't know if anyone was saying it's faster than anything made. And most 600 owners think they don't need a bigger engine or else they wouldn't be on a 600. So I don't see the problem there unless you hate that people were generally impressed with the sled. If they're guilty of anything though it's that they didn't read the dyno charts before forming their opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go in the Facebook groups from a year ago you would have thought the catalyst will take down a turbo sled. Now that people have them and say they run like a 600 those same people that have never bought a new in sled say you bought the wrong sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) I found the Snowest Q & A where this is from, and notably the 858 figure isn't there. So whether it was deleted or was doctored and shared to another site, I'm not sure. It def would be wild if Ski-Doo already got their hands on an 858 to dyno. https://www.snowest.com/2024/02/skidoo-2025-questions-answers-freeride-rack-steering Edited March 3 by Premium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
