The Polaris doesn't blow belts like the 850 meaning maybe the clutching is better dialled creating less slippage making it feel like better power delivery. The engine in the Polaris seems to live as long as the 850's. So that being said that's a point for Polaris.
But what do I know I ride yamaha!!!

Who would of thought that the 18 AXYS has more HP than the 18 CAT as per American Snowmobiler Mag dyno tests and yet many guys say the Cat beats up on the G4??

Coupled skids make a bigger difference than a couple hp. That QSL was a smart addition for Cat.

I turned it off after they said everyone agrees, the Polaris feels like it has more power..

“People aren’t talking up the brand I ride so there is no validity to the shoot out. Everybody knows skidoo is the only machine that anyone should like and or talk about” lol.

Some people take things far to serious. chill out a bit and understand that you can think your sled is the best sled ever created but that it is more than likely that there is a large number of people that disagree with you and they should be able to talk about their sled of choice without hurting your feelers. There are more than enough dootards speaking for the masses lmfao!

Has anyone ever seen one of those white/orange T3s or the blue/green? White moose from what I see. Knowing now what we do, would there be more?

That says 2017 shootout.
2018 Cat engine is a different story.

This entire article is a bunch of bs.. Sounds like some lake racers telling us what works in the mountains.. Poo power fells stronger, doo skid is better, want lots of weight transfer, lighter is not always better.. Bunch of crap
