Thinking of changing up my ride this year and picking up a leftover 2018 cat. Last 6 years for me has been Pro and Axys, previously were M sleds.
Riding for me is in deep dryer powder with mostly technical tree riding, lots of sidehilling in treed steep terrain and the usual carving around in meadows added in.
Looking for constructive comparison thoughts from people who have ridden Axys and the 2018 cat or have friends in your group who ride one or the other in similar type terrain and riding. I’d be riding a 3” as well.
Also curious on how the reliability and general quirks for the sled are. I see some crank issues perhaps? Polaris dealer is an hour away and cat dealer is 3 away,,,, that should almost make the decision for me but like I said looking to change it up. Whatever I buy I’m going to have to hang onto for a while this time.
One other question that I can’t seem to find: what are the differences between the Early Release sled, SnoPro and the in season sled? I recall the SnoPro was the snowcheck sled back when I was on M sleds but they look like all same shocks, gauge etc, but no doubt I’m missing something. The leftover early releases seem cheaper for some reason but can’t see why and that’s the one I’m looking at right now.
Thanks for any thoughts.
