Interesting comparing the monorail to a electrician's common unistrut.

Looks like Cat is due for innovation once every decade. Just a smidge behind everyone else it seems?

cat also never had govt. money subsidy's like the early years of bombardier (pre BRP)
now under the deep pockets of Textron, maybe we'll see innovations twice a decade?

Here's hoping. They were most likely in the stages of their 3rd bankruptcy before Textron stepped in. Hope it works out for them. Competition is good.

they ran on a shoestring budget for many, many years.

agreed, competition will push them all to do better.....

That is true. Textron got them for a good deal.

They moved Webber motor production to Thief River. From what I read, and was told this week. 100 percent USA built and production. They have invested millions into Arctic Cat to make changes.

I guess they can sell a few planes to cover the cost. Surprising what Textron owns.

Yes, competition is good for all makes and models.

Also good for customers to have choices.

so far all i can see for updates is the alpha skid on the 2018's. the only handlebar kits at the moment I can get is the Speedwerx ones.

In them hills.
I heard today that if you snowcheck your 2019 Cat with Vernon Motorsports your name gets entered into a draw for a FREE Boondocker Sidekick Turbo Kit!!
That's a good rumor.

You guys gonna have a demo on the snow yet this year?
