After looking around on the reviews of the 16 Proclimb, I am interested in another mountain sled as a demo unit for my shock and suspension business and am thinking about Cat or dare I say... a Doo. Why would/should I pick the Cat over the Doo?
Couple of my concerns on the cat are listed below.
Weight, what is the best way to lighten the sled?
I am interested to hear what guys are doing for weight loss and what the expense is to drop 10, 20, 30 or 40-50 lbs off the Proclimb.
Fuel economy, what kind of fuel are they using per day?
I usually leave at 8 am and ride until 4 pm with about a 1/2 hour to an hour break for lunch. My current sleds (PRO's) use roughly 7-9 gallons in a typical day. There are not fuel stations where we ride. Since the CFI sleds I have not needed to pack extra fuel. With the TB injection on the Proclimb how is the fuel consumption?
Clutching, if I go with a 15 holdover how bad is the clutching?
Can the 16 clutches be swapped on?
Chassis durability, does the proclimb have the same steering post/bulkhead issues of the older M series?
Is the rear tunnel section a problem area on these?
Parts availablity, are Western dealers well stocked with common wear items?
Sorry for all of the questions, just trying to make the best decision on a second sled.
I also ordered a 16 RMK Axys 800 which weighs 408 lbs and makes comparable HP to the Cat. What kind of surgery will it take to get the cat close in weight?
