The M's have the Adj height Handlebars (not sure about Crossfire's)

They will offer a M8 162" Sno Pro this year along with the 153"

Thanks for the pics. Keep us posted on the new stats. Look like they tried to cut some weight on the M rear skid!

thebigtreeman · Feb 26, 2008

Check out the rear skid!!!

Secondary clutch

Thanks for the pictures and info. I am wondering if they have talked about any changes to the secondary clutch in view of the electronic reverse? I do not think the present clutch will work if you are reversing the engine. This will be a great time for them to use the team clutch and solve alot of issues!
Just a thought!

Looks like I need a '08 > '09 Update Kit for my M8 Nightfires with black powdercoated rails, new steering post, rear tunnel extension (black of course), LED tail, etc.

Wow thanks!!!

Jcat · Feb 26, 2008

when do you think we will get the specs on the M-series sleds. Grantm8, you think that info will be out soon or is it on the Website you gave us?? thanks guys. You guys think we will be switching our m8s to the new 09's??

Definitely ordering that tail light and snow flap to compliment my BDx tunnel mod....perfect!!

Skid looks the same as an 08...just has A LOT more holes in it!!

I do like the Crossfire in a 1000 141 as a back up sled!!

grantm8 · Feb 26, 2008

I talked to the guys again who are in the buisness meetings and they said:
the telescoping handlebars are only available in the sno pro versions of the Crossfire and M's.

They have the electronic reverse but he was not sertain on the models that it will be on.

There will be a program on published weights as far as it coming within 5 pounds of what they say.

be sure to check with me for great pricing on the snow check prices. i will have pricing available on Wednesday evening or Thursday.

My Cell Phone is 612-202-8284

They fixed the two things I didnt like about my wifes 08 M-8. A taller seat and a taller steering post.

grantm8,

Will you have specs prior to pricing?

Thanks again for posting the pics.

grantm8 · Feb 26, 2008

I am not sure when i will get a Spec Page, i have the MSRP pricing in my hands i just need to figure it out.

grantm8 · Feb 26, 2008

www.Arcticcat.com is up and running.

Updated parts, touring guys a better sled, lighter M's, BNG..........yawn.........boring.

Richey · Feb 26, 2008

The M1000 162 Snopro LE looks the best out of all of them. Is this the one that has the option of a Boss seat when you snowcheck it?

i'm not a cat guy, but WTF do you want?? an all new lineup every single season??? i think eveolutionary changes are the best way to go... this past season cat has had about the fewest problems of all of 'em... i'll take problem free over cutting edge any day of the week... and this is the best lineup they've had since the original M's hit the market... tweak and tune to get more out of what are already damn good sleds... i think cat and polaris are both on to something here by both doing evolutionary changes, refining instead of reinventing... upping quality and durability while giving a solid sled you can count on...

i applaud them for it...

ALL M's and Crossfires have the boss option on snowcheck...

thebigtreeman · Feb 26, 2008

How does the new reverse system work? It says "ENGINE REVERSE" on the model features section. So do you pull start it normally then push a button for reverse and then restart the sled for the engine to run in reverse? Or is it electric start?

Help me figure out this new fangled teknowlogy.
