On some of the arctic cat factory pictures of the blue alpha it has different boards. Has anyone else noticed this?
Some of the sleds in the photo shoots have accessories on them, including the running boards which have been available since 2017/2018

Cool, hopefully that improves the durability a bit.

Also this is yet another example of cat's bad marketing. The screenshot I posted was from the information page for the mountain sleds, and it doesn't show or mention the updated track

That photo posted, if accurate, looks like they went away from the 2 blue(forward leaning post), 4 red(backward leaning post)pattern and it's all blue now. 20220424_120758.jpg

I think Cat also changed the font on the lettering on their sleds for 2023.
