I know everyone had their brand preference. I hope Arctic Cat gets this one right and back into the mtn segment.

Back into? The 800 Alpha outperforms the other 850 NA sleds in many ways. They need to get the clutch and rail durability to be non issues on this lighter, more powerful Catalyst. Then worry about a turbo.

How much market share do they have? You don't sell much you end up like Yamaha.
Like a secondary clutch that has a power robbing fan cast into it and a heavy duct system to direct cold air to said clutch because they run boiling hot.
Like T-motion…
Fair point. They haven't been progressing fast enough.
If all you’re doing is flippity flips then it’s probably close. No factory sled will beat a turbo doo on a straight up 2’+ powder day pull.

“Bandaid” for what? Easier riding? Less tiring? Better maneuverability? I would think them still choosing to produce both a t motion and a “locked out” t motion in mass produced numbers proves there is a need for both types of suspension. 11 years of consumer purchasing data and professional riders like Kuster choosing it over the “locked out” version means nothing I’m sure

Since Yamaha is getting out of the sled industry, why not grab their clutches? I know the design is decades old, but they've proven they can withstand 400hp & give reasonable belt life at the same time! lol

The 858 came in at 167hp, on the dynotech dyno. Just what I expected it would come in at, the 9r came in at 170hp on the same dyno, and the 800 cat came in at 154hp.
