Don't worry folks. The 2023 cats should arrive in the summer of 2023, which is still 2023.

Maybe I’m wrong.
This was taken off their Instagram page today.
Notice the stock looking spindles
Same shape and look as the old ones just taller and with 2 cuts in them. Maybe they are coming with different spindles?
I hope that’s not it if that’s the case.

Thats just Austin Blodgett's sled. Supercharged lifted alpha with headlight delete.

Enjoy your BNG for 23 and most likely 24 as well.

I just narrowed up my wifes kaos matryx. Literally easier than my 154 alpha on full narrow. Literally the funnest sled i ever rode. It has none of the alpha drawbacks and all the pluses of 7s guage, easy steering, good running boards, better accessories, more power and the list could go on forever. After riding that i could care less what they come out with. Good bye arctic cat. Never thought i would say it but i don't even care if i ride the mountain max anymore.

I just did the same.
Bought my wife a 21 khaos 155.
I was looking at new Cats. I Rode the Khaos a couple days. It was very similar to the Cat Ive put together but some things are better.
I now have 22 matryx khaos 165 that I’m waiting on instead of the 22 Cat.

I keep reminding you my girls ride alphas….same can be done on the khaos. Throttle control.

Most alpha downsides are observations by guys who haven’t spent much time on them or “heard stuff”.

Alpha downsides are not liking harder or slick snow. A little unpredictable. Heavy steering is another. My wife's kaos is 165. They aren't rowdy. She rides it fine.
Polaris is pretty good now but they don't have the best track record . I always been lucky but don't keep that long. Talk about 19 850 blowing up but doos are blowing up as we speak. Polaris probably deserves a little grief.

There are plenty of women riders that can hang, just watch some sled vids from Slednecks, Braap 509.... Nadine overwater has way more talent than a lot of guys i know. Snowest mag had an article on 3 women riders earlier this year.

Devilmanak What’s the 23 lift kit ?
Have any pictures ?
My main bitch on the Alpha is constantly having to clear the running boards, other than that it’s a great sled.

1 bng stands for “bold new graphics”. This term is referring to when a company doesn’t change anything for the next years model but the decals.

2 the biggest downside mentioned on the alpha is the hard snow performance/washing out on side hills, but like someone mentioned above once you figure out that you have to adjust your riding technique for those conditions it’s basically a non issue.

3 Polaris 800 and bigger engines do seem to have a much higher failure rate than the other brands. They can build great 6/700 engines but for the life of them can’t get 800+cc engines to hold together.

4 there are currently so many new low mileage sleds for sale because of the current market. Thanks to the lack of supply and inflation people are able to sell their new sleds for a few grand more than what they snowchecked them for in the spring. So if you can make $3000+ simply for flipping your new sled, why not?
