2019 Release Conversation

So looking like no factory turbo 2 stroke out of textron for 19. Shocked. Just a purple monorail abortion and flex track 2.0 gimmick..


Maybe Polaris will have a more exciting release.

Do you not think that monorail might work? For the true deep snow mountain sleds I'm thinking this might be an alright thing. I do agree that full purple is garbage. A factory pump gas 2 stroke turbo would sell a ton regardless of the brand if it came with warranty I'm also surprised one of them has not taken a stab at it. Maybe start like the yammies did with a specific kit on low boost?

I would hope it works if they are going to put it on a 15k sled. But what problem were they trying to solve with this thing?
Sled was too predictable before and nobody liked predictable?

Guys are locking out there T-motion because they are so squirrely, this thing is going to be squirrely as hell.

The shocks look vulnerable to me where there at too.


Just not a big fan of the monorail. Who knows, maybe it will be the new rage in sledding? Time will tell.

Luckily they still make the mountain cat with the old skid in black.

I am not rushing out to buy the alpha right now, definitely need to throw a leg over one first.

I sounds like it's retrofit-able to the 18' mountain cat.......don't you have one of those?

skegpro said:

I do, probably fire sale that if I like this Alpha, as I imagine that skid is a pretty penny and requires different shocks.
But an interesting option non the less.

Trick will be finding one to ride before snowcheck season is over.

Ill be snowchecking for sure. A 165 summit lol. Pretty wicked stuff cat is doing now though! I like the innovation. I always love it when someone goes way outside the norm like that because its always followed by a bunch of the same! 15 is good! for some reason that mono rail looked like it had a way smaller track! which wouldn't make sense because the tunnel is still the same.
