Give us two color options for each model. If I'm going to snow check let me customize my ride with a few options to choose from. Limiting your models to one color option will not help sales

I see two colors of MC and SP each?

I give 2 $hits what my sled or gear looks like. It's a bad marketing move plain and simple. I think the new mountain cat looks sick though. Still gonna be on my trailer next season.

I guess many can discuss the technical stuff better than I can

But just from looks alone. It is always a big factor to the consumer, not everybody want to spend $4-500 on wraps.

The decal graphics or the color combo on many of these sleds is simply awful. When concrete gray and lime is the best looking sled. something is not right.

Arctic Cat should fire their graphics department, I personally thought that 2017 mountain cat horrendous decal and seat graphics, would have been enough to do justify that.

Zr 200 should sell well.

I saw that too but I am quite confused that a 200 cc engine only puts out 9 hp? Like an 800 will do 160hp a 600 cc will do 110-120 but 200 cc = 9? I would have expected 20-40 but I suppose there isn't a linear correlation between power and engine displacement?

Here's a few pictures I lifted off of Dan's Motorsports Salem Oregon on Facebook is where you can see them. I think he said he'd be back East this weekend with all the other dealers for the reveal of these new sleds so these are pictures he was probably taking today and I want to thank Dan for being a great dealer, a man that stands behind his dealership and his customers. Then also this should help us get the thread back on the subject matter....:eyebrows:

Personally I'm very disappointed. Something needs to change in there marketing department. And like said above where are our options? I'm a cat guy but I'm honestly embarrassed with this release. And I also agree with what was said above about the website. I'm due for a new sled and was thinking of snow checking a new cat but I might be shopping elsewhere.

Ya - I did a comparison on the two - it was LED headlights, shocks, 3.0 lug track vs. 2.6, and it was funny, it actually said lightweight brake on SP and not on MC.

They seriously do need to fire their graphics/color scheme department, if they even have one. I know people say doesn't matter what they look like, and I'm all about performance, but if they have to do it anyways why not do some cool ones. Doo and Polaris have no problems in that department.

And on their site they show an all black one when showing what they've done under features, but all black is not even available????

And why are they not participating in the Sneak Peek shows again this year? I think they forgot how to spell marketing. They have got a lot of good changes this year it appears, why not market that and do the shows so people can see them?

Mountain cat

I was hoping the mountain cat would have a black tunnel.
I wish they would give us 2 choices of colours for the mountain cat.
I'm going to order a new sled but I'd prefer it had a black tunnel.

18 mc

I really like the look of it, I just wish it had the better bumper and tunnel bag like the 17 mc. I think it's better looking than the 17 mc but I'm not a huge fan of green, but I really like black

Yes, when spending $14,000 it would be nice to have a color choice. I thought the 17 MC was ugly, still bought one. This new MC is horribly ugly. I wish they had a green one so I could upgrade my panels. Might have to buy the black ones and do a wrap......
