Everyone likes to bash the brands they don't ride, but realistically, who makes the toughest sled these days? I see a lot of guys who jump running Cat and Gen4 Ski-doo's.. but lots of people still like to bag on both of them.
Putting brand loyalty aside, what do yall have to say about the good and bad of each brand's designs (chassis and engine)?

Cat without a doubt.
G4 has a glass bulkhead.

They’re all tough until you hit something...you can ride pretty hard but one little thing that can all change and it’s broke. I have some serious respect for these guys that fly off these drops and cliffs..don’t care what you ride that’s gotta be hard on any sled.

I think of it more like who has the most nimble sled that allows you to ride around the things that would break it.
