What is the fuel capacity of the doo, poo, and cat?

All the blowing from the cat guys about how lite the alpha was going to be and it's still 30lbs heaver than the big motored poo. Makes me laugh!!

Nothing new here. Poo is still a bunch lighter. I believe the x is supposed to be 5 pounds lighter than an sp. If everyone else had electric start to make up for the shot it would be closer. Cat would then be the heaviest. Then doo and poo would still be the lightest. Would have thought they would have weighed the Yamaha last in case it broke the scale.

Not that it’s going to help but the Sidewinder is a 162 not 155 and a 3” track. Lol Awesome video...real comparison

The next test, on the hill hanging from a tree after 1 hr of riding in deep snow.

If the Cat was 30lbs lighter on the shop floor it would be 30lbs lighter on the mountain too, right?

Funny the Turboed 120 horse sled gets to be Almost as powerfu (Power to Weight)l as all other NA sleds .. so Turbo 850 2.6 would be about 1.5 pounds per horse ?
Should have Weighted a X model Skidonkey for the Mustard Buccaners and a MTX whatever Lamaha !

Flatlanders get atmo advantage !! SideWonder!! don't hold a candle to Assault RMKs here .. they are blowing more than air !!

Wonder how the Doo owners are taking this over in the G4 forum lol. I thought about switching to G4 but couldn't Doo it. To worried about the rear skid sucking & the weight.

Attached snow weight.
Poo and doo hold a lot of snow.
Since 2013 cat(le) has had a huge advantage in this area. The Alpha will be better at shedding snow weight.

The Alpha has a 3in track. When compared to the Poo with a 3" the difference is more like 20 lbs. It is closer to 10 lbs difference if both switch to a lightweight can.


I know you want to crow about your chosen brand but the differences have become pretty insignificant. The big question for me is will the 850 Poo motor last more than one season? My 800 Axys didn't... Has component and build quality improved? Until is has, I will stick with the extra 10-20 lbs and the reliability and durability that comes with it.

U have no idea how the alpha will perfrom, the snow holding thing is markington gimmick that yammi came up with years ago and now u cat guys have picked it up.

When you spend $100 a pound to shed weight 30lbs is huge. The reason the poo 3" is more because of the chaincase, I run a 3" on my belt drive poo so it's still a 30# difference.

It will be good for u cat guys since poo and doo have a 170 hp cat will have to step there game to compete. Everyone wins
