Ahhh its all about the banter and the online fun of it. At the end of the day its about getting out to the zone, lets ride!!!

Yup and if Cat could offer Shot as an option I would be plunking down the coin for sure.

It’ll be neat when any of these sleds outperform the ‘Winder in power to weight. Maybe 2020 model year eh boys?

Does Anyone have a weight on a 162-165” two stroke turbo/electric start with the same Ready to ride regulations as they did in this test?

I’m home in a few days and will bring my Sidewinder with the basic Mods any person does to the sidewinder for a more accurate comparison? Just so it’s apples to apples. And I want to see what my sled actually weighs now aswell.

Preferably not a 2019 Pro lmao they light!

Good Point... I will weigh my Sidewinder as is this weekend my guess it’s gonna come in @ 598 lbs... Also I will be weighing my Alpha 165 and it may have turbo by then.. may but not sure.

We had the 17 sidewinder with 162 x 3" track at 654 lbs stock. What is done to that tp make it 56 lbs lighter.

Battery and exhaust is a good start but not 56lbs. Next would be a light weight hood.

And a seat from what I hear is another place to save.

Seat concepts just came out with a new seat. Not sure the savings there. Skinz is just too ugly to be worth the weight reduction.

When you guys stop being Geeks and want to get serious about sled weight's this thread will be more useful, the info on this thread is nothing more then a useless exercise.
You want to get real about sled weights, get them in the snow, ride them for a few hours and let the snow accumulate. Then fuel them up and top them up with their fluids and weigh them in a real life scenario.
I know you will all be very surprised on how the weight's will CHANGE and compare when you start adding reality to it, like how much snow the sled packs all day versus how little it pack's. Basic sled design plays a far bigger role then what this thread lead's readers to believe.

I say BS that Polaris is the lightest sled on snow and i say BS that there is 100+lbs difference between a 4stroke and a 2stroke.
In fact i say Polaris will be "WITHIN" 50lbs of a Yamaha in real life and not in a shop. AND Cat is the lightest sled on snow.
