No talk of new sled offerings?

[euphoric1]

Poo and Doo have released.... waiting on Arctic Cat but surprised no discussion of new stuff! I will admit I'm a Cat guy so don't really follow what other brands are offering but lets hear it from the Poo and Doo guys... anything new/cool or intriguing being offered? have heard whispers of what may be coming from Cat so anxiously awaiting!

Nothing good to say on doo introduced start stop feature which hopefully can be turned off zero interest in that. No eps or smart shocks on enduro 4s. A few more ponies on 600 good I guess but not impressed. Dootalk not impressed either. I’m interested to see what Cat does with 4s and eps this year they seem to give sledders what they want doo gives sledders what engineers want not what customers want.

I thought "start stop" someone posted on a sled was a joke... You have got to be kidding me!! ya.... NO THANKS!!! Cat I have heard... different skid frame, 600 HO and potentially a turbo 858, we will see. I am very happy with my catalyst, am more curious of where Darling is going to refine and restore the brand and where he intends to take it. IMO last year was a "we're still here" offering, this year we should see even more innovation IMO and just how driven Darling and the crew are!

Imo Doo is missing the boat on eps since taking over the 4s sled market. Make eps backward compatible $1k or so installed and dealers would make big bucks as the Yamaha faithful know eps is wonderful helps isolates rider from unwanted steering feedback and great for aging shoulders. Customers would need to make dealer appointments so many would want it. What dealer wouldn’t want to have their customers come in to improve their sleds and talk about new things on the market!

For trails sleds, this highlights why I’ve seen for the 27s

More EPS across Cat models

600rr engine for Doo with stop/start

9R Dynamix

Yawn

I'm a Cat guy and I'm giving them a couple years to get their act together. Hoping with a bunch of riders running the place, they will have a little more understanding of their customer base. I also vote for EPS.

Was hoping for a 3 cylinder 200hp. 2 stroke

EPS on 2s.... sorry but don't get it, especially on Catalyst chassis, 4s absolutely but I would never own a 4s so no excitement on EPS
Stop start on snowmobile?.... give me a break
havent looked yet but understand the ElTigre is back, liked how my 17 eltigre looked should look bad a** on Catalyst chassis

And then a turbo

 

[indy_500]

Was hoping for a 650-670 Doo motor based off the 850 internals, and shot start. Was also hoping for better color and track options at snowcheck. Instead we got bigger injectors, auto stop start, and more expensive oil

C-Tech4...... Does Cat have their "own" 4s engine now?
All white Cat looks pretty sweet
I'm betting the 400cc will go over well too, I can remember my 440 Blizzard and 470 MX both were fun at the time, sure they are making more HP in the 400 class today than back then.

was hoping to see on a 2s

I hear you. There are smoe aftermarket power steering swaps but $2 and another $1k to install, no thanks. Added “Jason’ MPS” before season in less than 10 mins For $140, game changer.

As for new sled releases, NFW. Costs are out of control and new features do not justify buying. I will keep my 4 with 13k miles..

Yeah.... almost $20,000.00 for 600 Eltigre? a bit steep IMO

 

[IOWASLEDDER]

Really not a whole lot to talk about this year. Ski-Doo colors are kinda blah
That white Arctic Cat looks good.
Prices are up at least LOL

Catalyst still.... THE BEST LOOKING SLED OUT THERE!!! check out the video with the 2027 launch with Darling, The Cat is BACK!!! and here to stay!! a descent season so far should be big help for them and the industry as a whole.
