Any differences other than the color? Wonder if Yamaha is using their own powerplant? See that they are spring check only as well.

Cat clutches, cat electronics, cat skid, cat engine, cat...

Maybe it’s a point to the right directions

 

[Cinno]

, Ctec 2 with yamaha mapping, yamaha ski's everything else same except color.

 

[boondocker97]

Big E-start seat and heavy fuel tank with less capacity as standard.

 

[sno*jet]

wait, that looks like the short seat in the vid...

3 year warranty and Cat only offers 1 year? WTF

 

[Frostbite]

I have been seriously considering ordering a 2021 Alpha One but, the 3 year warranty alone makes the Mountain Max an easy choice over the Alpha One.
It says the three year warranty is only available on specific models. I certainly hope the Mountain Max is one of them!
I would imagine a non electric start version must be available as well but, then again, maybe not?
Dang, it looks like the 154" has a 2.6" track. Could that be a typo?
Do they even make a 2.6" track in the Alpha configuration?

It's only available as a snow check and only with e-start and has the same clutches as the Cat.

I'm just glad the 400cc venom has a bigger gas tank than the 800cc mountain sled.

yamaha released 2021 models... öö wait they are Cats 2020 modes with different tapes!

 

[rkm]

They also cost a bunch more than Cats.. Warranty isnt free

 

[Frostbite]

The price is very close to the same with the 165" track, electric start and tunnel bag.

$14,035 for the Cat version and $14,249 for the Yamaha.

Although with the Cat you also get a larger front bumper and a handlebar bag for that price, not so with the Yamaha.

What's a three year warranty worth?

The Hardcore Alpha has a 154 X 2.6 track option.

 

[clutch]

Probably have better mapping than the cat.

 

[sno*jet]

sounds like they changed the exhaust too, "stainless collector and silencer"

 

[kidwoo]

What's a 'collector?'

Is that the nosecone that pulls snow into the throttle bodies?

 

[pruner]

I was really hoping for the other clutches!! My Alpha is in the shop with the left 3rd of the sled missing (primary exploded) and there's a couple of parts on extended backorder. Good thing the riding is mostly done in Michigan.
