no mention about weather clutch spider breakage has been resolved.... ><
don't get me wrong, i really liked a lot of the points made, and i hope this chassis/sled works.
and i respect an oem turbo 4 stroke.

They kept discussing in the video all these "weight" saving designs they have implemented on the sled, yet the sled is reported to way the same or just 5 lbs less than an '11 M8...
There are some pretty cool ideas that came out with this new line of cats... It will be killer to see how it all pans out in the backcountry!

cats
They look really cool.
Ya all the"weight savings"...BS.If they where as light as a pro,they would be blabbing all about it.
anyone else notice the piles of snow trapped in the HUGE a-arm pockets?
i will be waiting for ride reviews.
any demo rides?

Nice.
I like the idea of the link between the motor and the jackshaft to maintain belt tension. Innovative design

they need to put the sound of the sled into the video would make it so much better!

I like the idea also, the only thing that worries me about it is how well will the bearing on the other side off the jake shaft hold up to the shaft shifting around. could be nothing to worry about but something I'll be watching next season.

im looking forward to git a ride on one , but in the vid that tall spindel looked like it drags in the snow pretty bad. not bashing just a concern

My on 09 m8 162sp dry weight 462 per cat and the crated weight when I picked it up was 473. Those weights were without the cat light boss seat if you snowchecked. I'm a little dissipointed in that dept but really like other areas where cat went with this sled. Without demo rides I plan on waiting a year to see how this sled works. My lightly modded M8 gets me places that can scare me now.
While watching the vid it seems that the rider is having to jerk the sled up on its side,I know the snow isnt great but it seems it should be more fluent that that!! kinda looks like how the pre 11 skidoos carve???mabe the rider is not professional enough??

As far as I could tell there was only on shot that looked like that and it was on the 1100 on hard snow, and was most likly its just how it look that one time because everything else looked very smooth.

so lets say that the sled is the same weight as last year thats what 20lbs heavier then a prormk...? So F'n what slap an SLP can on there cause on last years sleds an SLP can shaved 13.5lbs! So now its 6.5lbs heavier then a prormk and we still have 20+ HP on that pile!
They have the same "sound" as an M8 but are WAY more quiet. I couldn't believe how quiet it was. That doesn't really help you but just throwing out the info I saw.
There was only one real sidehill shot in the vid and it looks very easy to control, but I did see a lot of counter steering going on it some spots. You can see the 4 stroke rides about 6" lower in deep snow than the others. tank.

Latest snowest put the hcr and the assault 155 at 8 lbs different wet. I am not really concerned with crate weight or dry weight since you can't ride a sled very far with no fuel in it. I think wet weight has to be less this year than Polaris but does anyone know when and who will report it? They have to have scrubbed 8 lbs off somewhere. I don't really care but it would just be nice for everyone to have the numbers so we know what's up.
