THANK you, I will admit, that all black x-fire (maybe the nightfire?) is really sweet looking. I'm just not a fan of the all white sled end of story I will stop there. If this thing handles on the trails like the twin spar and can still carve like the m-chassis, cat may have something special...

Man I really like the looks of that first sno-pro with the cat on the side. That thing looks wicked!! Its always interesting to see the new iron when it first comes out, especially when they make changes and improvements and ultimately raise the bar for the other manufacturers. I have owned a new sled from each of the sled makers but cat over the last 10 years and would really be interested in a closer look at what they have to offer with these new sleds.
I am curious about the front suspension with the tall spindles and the huge distance that it creates between the upper and lower control arms. Will that offer a smoother ride or better handling.......?
very interesting!!!

One thing that is undeniable is AC is really catching the attention of the snowmobile world and will be a big hit in the next few years for sure. Just looking on here, Arcticchat, and Doo-talk their is one thing that is apparent...there are many people who care about a good sled and not what name, color, or sticker on it that WILL be buying an AC. Today on Doo-talk I saw 5 threads(on their first page) that dealt with AC's line-up and it has pretty much been that way for a few weeks now. Arctic Cat now has peoples attention.
I know AC's website being down sucks, but I look at it as a a good thing cause never before has soo many people shown this much interest ever before. I have stuck with AC for years now, and am really glad to see them get **** right even when I felt there was better out there. One thing for sure is I DO NOT feel this way now.

How many $$'s ?
I was thinking tonight, what would the insurance run on these new sleds? Since most ins companies price per CC of the engine, aren't premiums going to go through the roof for these? I doubt they care for the difference between 2s and 4s either.
Just going from a 2001 600 to a 2010 600 for me was a $80 increase. Can't imagine what 600 to 1100cc increase would be.

it did look like each cylinder had little cats on the 1100

it must be new i havent seen it on the old 1100's
I do live on Tonka and the Blade was from Donahue's. It was an early production so it had hard lines and sharp corners on the body. To this day I would say that the Blade is the best trail sled I have ever driven. A-arm technology that had litteraly no ski lift.
Did you know that Cat had the ETT tunnel and todays skid frame geometry in the early 80's. Never used it until the late 90's when tracks and suspension components could handle the range of motion. Ski-Doo had RAVE valves (exh valves) on their early 70's race motors. It is really cool to see how things make it to the consumers. I give Cat alot of credit. They are probably the smallest (definitely smallest check book) but still work their ARS off to bring new things to the market. Is the new sled Ski Doo looking? No, I say it is Blade looking. Give credit where it is due.
I can honestly say that IMO Artic has been far behind other manufacturers as far as "cool & sleek" looks go. Now, I like how their sleds look.
Just need to get rid of the jackets that everyone wears that say; "team artic." It may as well be called; "team cheesy." Just mho.

You nailed that one out of the park but that logo is almost as cherished as the Harley "HOG" patch. I guess I can live with it if they can.
It's almost as bad as "X" lol!
