It will be the same source we always rely on for story time. Reliable. Confirmed. Trusted or a dealer. All whom have always given is the goods for years now !

3 inch standard on all M sleds. Drop and roll chain case to allow 8 tooth drivers instead of the 7 tooth. They are going to be called Mountain Cats again.

Nice windshields! Sure looks like pre 16 spindles.

Only the M series sleds got the new spindles for 16. All other models (trail sleds) for 16 had the older style. Those appear to be trail sleds so they may be sticking with the older style spindle on trail sleds, mountain spindle only for mountain sleds for 17 as well..

I hope they have the new 800 engine ready, for the last 3 years now I have been quizzing the engine teams at the Dealer shows. They said they know they have to beat the Suzuki engine in reliability and performance, they don't want to have a new engine fail on them. I do know that on the dealer website I saw on the parts order some new side panel part numbers with "hexagon venting", the photo from above shows kind of that on the new panels. They also had a new "spray chain lubricant" which is hopefully a sign the snow bike is a go!

They will most likely run the new engine in the trail sleds first.
Other than that, you will see slightly narrower boards and panels, but unless they changed it last minute it won't be enough.

Cat better step up based on what Doo let out of the bag this morning... From the pics everything that needed improvement got it. Lets hope cat does the same!

I was just thinking the same thing - if the '17 Doo's got power and gets skinny, most guys won't try to even justify a Cat. I'll be pretty tempted, guess we'll see what is actually true next week for Doo.

New doos Gained one measly hp. They say 10 but that would mean they lied about their 800s hp for 6 years
