Not a bad effort but more photoshop practice. If cat keeps the exact same skid and approach setup they are done for. The way the new pro gets up on the snow is unbelevable and cat has to change something there to stay in the game. Plus those sleds looks like *hit. Not that stock graphics are ever very good looking but wow those are ugly. When was the last time cat put a clear windshield on any sled but a touring model?

its obvious from the posts here that only about 1% of Snowesters know what makes a mountain sled work:face-icon-small-coo

it has nothing to do with what the plastic looks like:face-icon-small-sho

I agree Dave. The rider forward is terrible as well, good for trails and that is where it stops. I used to own an XP so I can speak from experience.

All the Cat faithful need to eclipse(sp?) the Pro is narrower body work and some weight dropped.......don't even need the weight dropped. Just narrower body to slice through the snow like the Pro. Otherwise they are pretty much identical when it comes to dimensions and riding style. ( ohh I might get in crap for that from the Poo boys)
Only other difference is the 20hp Poo DIDNT bring to the table.....

I spent some time on a pro saturday nice sled but lacks power I think it will do ok but it needs another 30 hp my 2010 m8 out pulls this thing all day long!!! But the pro chasis is a winner. I think a Xp would do the same.
