'16 clutching

Has anyone been riding enough yet to give an opinion on the new clutches? Have heard smoother and more consistent. I'm looking more for this years sleds, not the early release from last year. We all know how things can change with calibration from early release to in season.

i just put the new drive on my '14, much smoother engagement, hard launch after that, consistent shift-out...noticeably better

I finally got a leg over a 16 162 in deep deep snow and wow did it work well, not sure o would change it

I like the smooth engagement. Not a huge fan of the actual power delivery. Felt sluggish, smooth but sluggish.

If it's like all the other Cat's I have had, it seems to take 150-200 miles to get everything loosened up and broke in. Maybe with a few miles it will be better. Or a little different clutch setup.

Not a fan of the hammer head weights and the 48degree helix very sluggish from 7600 to 8000 rpm. Cat screwed up to much trail time back east not enough out west in the mountains .

Pretty happy with the clutches themselves. Run much cooler and more consistent than my 13. Can't comment on the weights though, threw MDS weights right off the bat.
