What if they came out with a new model and the actual model name was 03F7

If they painted 03f7 on the side of a catalyst to sell, there would be a riot at haydays to be the first to money down on it.

There's something about going to TRF that makes you pull for cat, because you realize it is the town, something about it.

Having Brad Darling in there is such a blessing for cat. That was a better case scenario than I think anyone thought possible.

Him mentioning the rear suspension jumped out at me. He wouldn't say that if they didn't have something coming and soon. I'd think possibly by this year's snow checks they have a new rear suspension.

I hope they do. There really isn’t much difference between the Polaris and the catalyst. The guy that put the xcr skid in the catalyst built the badest trail sled ever. If cat gets their shit together hold the fuck on. I really hope they do it.

I'm not making excuses for the issue, I'm just sayin...

in fact, for what their asking for new sleds... there should be zero issues and a five year /5k warranty for anything and everything not related to user error. at least from my pov

Looks pretty nasty and dirty for a 2026. I'd say owner neglect. Bad a taking care of equipment, great at crying on the internet.

My 2019 did that. Luckily my skidoo friends carried around a can of brp starter lube. Sprayed it on there and it kinda fixed the issue.

I'm thinking this is a good idea...
