Just picked up a 2014/2014 M6000 for my wife, screaming deal, couldn't pass it up. 16 front end, Grippers. I rode it in the field, cannot believe how easy it is to tip up! What I want to know is why is it so easy to tip up? Did Cat finally figure it out? I had a 2012 M800 and a 2014 M9000, this is completely different. Anything to watch out for?
Picked it up on a whim to keep my wife off my Doos!

with the 16 front end cat kinda nail it. holds a side hill perfect and down hill turns are a breeze. my wife has a 14 m8000 with all the same and loves it. one down side is they are a bit tipsy on the trail.

So it is the 16 front end then, interesting.....
It honestly feels like my Doos on first impression, I like it a lot.

16 front end is 36" wide compared to previous years 38 and 42. Much easier to get on the side than the previous proclimbs.

give it a ride on the hill and report back. the cat on a side hill does better than the doo when cutting over old tracks IMO.

Really? That would be nice, everyone raves about the Doo when hitting old tracks, but I am not impressed.

yep your stuck to the boise valley.

you should take a 16 m8 for a ripper. not perfect out of the box but not much is needed.
