I'm not quite sure what to think! While I am excited that they turned up the power of the CTECH 800 engine to 165ish hp, to compete with the 850's. They completely dropped the 600 version. Why? If the Alpha one rear skid is as tractable as I keep reading, why not have a more tractable engine mate to it? Not everyone rides at 10,000+ feet of elevation and needs an 800.
Snowcheck only for Alpha Ones? Why would they do that? For some reason, I am sensing an early release 2021 with a brand new chassis and an 880.
The color schemes are for the mountain sleds are just blah! The Riot colors are REALLY off the charts BAD! I was looking for an orange and white color scheme or orange and anything really but, I got primer gray. Definitely millennial engineers choosing colors for a demographic that is predominantly older white guys. No thanks!
If all the sleds are to be Snow checked anyway, why not offer several wraps that can be chosen at the time of purchase, applied at the factory and people can customise their sleds to their personality. That would give one the ability to choose a custom looking sled and not be tied to the limited color choices offered. Heck, order it early enough and you can chose a wrap from an entire catalog!
I see a red and black mountain sled on one slide, that may be as close as I can get to color scheme I like. I will have to look harder to find a good picture. It's really too bad when you don't see a sled with a color scheme that makes you go, oh man, I have to have one!
Yes, sadly as a mountain guy, I am disappointed as well.
