looks to me like diff spindle shape shorter arms. only rumor I got was poss new motor in trail sled but only 1 trail sled.
my source any more is in marketing and has 0 knowledge or interest in motors and only a slight interest in sleds.

Turbo yamacat ?? rumor is the current cat Suzuki turbo 4 stroke being retired, moving over to the yami motor with factory turbo producing 190hp stock......

IDK if that makes sense for small market & slight increase in hp...if suzook cuts them off yes logical.

the cat 800 is on borrowed time . my guess bigger than 800 in same design as c tec. the rummer of a 8?0 c tec testing have been floating around for a few yrs.but why release anything until u have to I guess.when the whole cat zuk thing went down I was told cat had 3 yrs worth of zuk motors ordered
remember they do have a motor plant in st cloud . is that not where the c tec 6 is built and I thought they were going to start bolting the yammi motor together up there.
I deff wont be first in line to buy any new sled but cool doo is steeping it up.it makes the others have to push some day soon we will see that 200hp 2st out of the box

Thats supposedly photo shopped, only sneak peak photo that appears legit is the 1200 in xs type plastic with the new ITC(Like 900ace) with 3 modes, lighter muffler and a few more poines. There was a photo taken of a sled in ontario that had 2015 skidoo prototype sticker on it with an 860etec, which makes more sense than the 880, as 880 is pushing the limits of the cylinder wall on current 800 etec jugs. Time will tell.

looks like skidoo is coming with the fully adjustable skis we have heard about. Allows you to adjust carbide and keel depth for various snow conditions in a matter of minutes. Guys that have been using this have said it works awesome. Small things like this is what is keeping skidoo ahead of the game.

Does anyone know if we can watch the skidoo release live like in years past? If so when and what time?

No live release this year. The line-up sounds like it will go public sometime this afternoon and the website will be updated tomorrow.

This is what is most likely. All short tracks will now be 128. A new 1200 in xs plastic with ITC. and a 154 inch T3 freeride/summit

There are also rumblings of a new 400cc entry level sled.

many other rumors like every year but these seem the most legit. With the beast 800etec and how good the xs chassis is working i expect only minor changes to their bread and butter sleds like the new ski's added.
