¦ Beast’s preferred conditions
The 2018 Mountain Cat performs incredibly well in all snow conditions, but really shines in the deep snow and crud. The Power Claw track and the non-stop pull of the CTEC2 in combination with the suspension made it easy to pull long steep side-hills. Also, with the new body work, paneling out was never an issue on steep and deep side-hills.
While small changes were made over the 2017 model, they really brought the sled into line with the human element and made everything easier. The forward stance, slimmer panels and dropped chain-case all made what was already a great sled even better.
The Mountain Cat is named appropriately, as it’s natural habitat is the backcountry. With all of the new changes mentioned, riders can easily side-hill and boondock to their desired destination. The sled was designed with boondocking in mind, all of These features make it super responsive and agile on any mountain. This lean machine also consumes less oil and fuel than its predecessor. Pair that with better emissions - for the green sledders - and this Mountain Cat is a win-win for anyone trying to get the most out of their sleds in the mountains and deep POW.
