Handling and power have nothing to do with attack angle. Once you ride a sled that has a gentle attack angle you notice right away that it gets on top the snow so much better without needing power to do so. I understand that a steep angle allows for the track to contact farther forward and that can take weight off the skis and put more track on the ground so if these are your goals, great. Cat has accomplished the best of both worlds and Skidoo could too.

What problems are there with a gentle approach angle?
Only drawback is usually the drivers are lower and subject to hitting more rocks/stumps ....ending your day.

Cat has 8 tooths with a drop and roll for 3 years now. No issues yet that I know of.

Your right. I shoulda known better. Waste of brain space. Thx.
Aside from your guys little war does the steeper angle not make initiating side hill or turns easier?
You will plough more and trench more on takeoff but forces track to dig deeper keeping you into the hill deeper.
Shallow attach angle will just require you to position feet a bit further back and a couple air shock adjustments.
Weight boards a bit further back to help the shallow angle dig in.
The shallow angle should have a wee advantage other areas.
Carry on with the G4 war.
lol

Stick a K-mod under it, and your attack angle problems are solved. Not to mention with the coupling design you can switch it up for whatever terrain you're riding.

I am not a suspension scientist but.
Ski pressure is a function of the weight that the center shock carries.
Ski lift is a combo of things but on the doo it's seem that the rear shock collapses easily.

Good cause my 850 washed out pretty easy.
Riding partner has my 850 so it will be easy to compare.
