154 I'm guessing. 14,300 for a 165. Ordered mine the beginning of last week.
I'm guessing gas, oil and clutching is all they need. Maybe a set of riding instructions for a minute. They will be easy to ride because it will be the first thing I ride next year.

Oh my!!!
I paid $14,100 plus tax for my 2018 M800 153" snopro.
And the 2018 153 mountain cat was $14,700 plus tax from the same dealer.

I hope the 2019 sleds aren't $2,500 more than the 2018 sleds were or I'll be putting the Alpha rear suspension and new track in my 2018!

Yeah 154. 12500 plus ttl=14054. Not bad considering a freeride g4 was about 15500 otd. I like the idea of the single swingarm skid, snow shedding, jetski like cornering. I kind of wish they had coilover qs3 shocks but I guess I'll try out the air shocks. Grew up on green sleds happy to support a Minnesota made company.

Those prices are crazy, from Cat. Was hoping for $16,000 pricing. Going to shop around, usually Gp is pretty good pricing.

I hope it does ride similar to a stand up jet ski. That is what I do for summer entertainment.
I have never been fond of float shocks but I only tried them when they first came out and that was 15 years ago. Had 4 over the years. This will be the 5th. Actually I bought a 12 and traded it to a guy, from Minnesota, for a new 12 pro so I never rode it. They should have waited a year or two to kick the proclimb out. First two sleds I bought were a 94 ext and a 95 wildcat. Wildcat was the most clutch eating thing ever.

Looks like Alpha is 900.00 more than MC retail. 16950.00 for Alpha 154 didn't go up much from last year 19-MC 16049.00

The biggest thing is you need to spend some time playing with the shock pressures to dial it to your riding conditions and style. That is the most important thing.

The rest is personalization, I replace the running boards to a tube style but I ride coastal snowpack and it is quite often heavy and damp so it packs the regular boards up. I also put on a rear Mtn Bumper since I sled ski and hanging a bunch of skis off the back of the tunnel I wanted some more stiffness added. Then a Mtn front bumper for tree protection.

I would love to try the new skis.

My dealer quoted me if i bought it straight out no trade 165 for $13500

Uncle Bob · Mar 5, 2018

My dealer in sask told me Msrp Canadian for a 165 is 17200. I would kick your Edmonton dealer in the nuts for going over full retail

That is equal to ~$13,200 US$
Canada is cheaper than US prices....

I was just quoted $13,900 for the Alpha One 165" pull start. Plus taxes. OTD 14,900. Or my ski doo dealer is $16,200 OTD for the shot start 165" G4 blue/black summit X. Western Nevada area. Dang what to do?? Ive only had doo, but looking for a new sled for next year. I like to snow check. More anticipation over the long summer... Alpha one or Summit. Lots to consider. Seems like the Cat is better priced IMO. What do you guys think?

turboless terry · Mar 6, 2018

Never take someone's advice that you don't know or know how they ride. Now that that is said I'll give you my opinion. I have a gen 4 with silber turbo. It is the cleanest running turbo I have ever had. I am selling my wife's 850 and giving her my turbo that she loves. I am gambling that this is the greatest thing since milk.

I think it is MSRP plus freight and PDI.

That’s where I’m at. Hoping the switch doesn’t make me hate myself.

Just on Cats .ca website. Alpha not listed anywhere?? Is it just a glitch on the site? Its there on the US site??
