Artic Cat giveaway

I would be happy to have a new Cat for our CookeCity riding. 2012 Pro will be setting in the shed.

Do the Evol shocks have progressive springs like the Raptor Shocks do or no springs at all?

the evol reservoir changes the progression of the spring rate (more air = more rate progression)
The standard shock reservoir controls the ride height. (equivalent to changing position of a coil spring compression nut.)
Bear in mind, it's still an air shock, no actual coil spring, but it still acts like a spring, and has a spring rate.

I look forward to riding mine, as I just did the evol upgrade. stock, the shock is a slug on steep sidehill.

The alignment tool you use is a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to build one for myself

Do you think the Polaris ripper skis are better than the new 16 cat skis ?

I like the thinner built 2016 spindles.

I'd like to ride this and see how it compares to my 14 pro all I've done is put the Walker Evans reservoir shocks set the ski stance on narrow put on fly next level bars and cut an inch and a half of each side and Kurt's Polaris gear down kit.I still have my timbersled M7 with 2.6 power claw which is my favorite sled besides my pro. I didn't like the new cat when or came out but willing to give it another try!
