Catalyst Cat Chassis

Is your friend a giant, or is that a kids sled?
Looks pretty small with him on it.

Maybe its just the pucture angle

was thinking the same. looks awful small

 

[lilduke]

Be a good sled for smaller teenagers

 

[adamg]

But the truck looks small, so maybe that guy is huge.

This guy makes Ken look small…. This buddy of his is monster

maybe all you know-it-alls should do some research.....yah, its not a mountain sled in that pic...short track...so of course its a POS to most of the people on this fine website....that's why it looks so small...I think?

here's a quick but good article on what's happening with Cat. Larger engine for 2025. Too late for many in this part of the world, yah maybe....but I doubt that Cat is going out of business like many on here seem to suggest.

Cat Unveils New Catalyst Chassis For 2024

Arctic Cat unveiled some details on a highly anticipated new chassis platform for its snowmobiles, but held back some details as well.

Kevin is a big guy for sure. 6.4 or 6.5 I’m guessing

Ive been holding out to get a second sled to give the Sidewinder some company. Was hoping Cat would offer something but looking like they are dropping the ball again this season. After spending 3 days on a turbo 154 Doo this past weekend I think it was the right amount of DoolAid for team change.

That’s the market for a 600. They will sell in that market because there aren’t any used 600’s available.

I watched for 6 months and then drove 1200 km round trip in a day to get the 600 I did find back in July for my 12 year old.

But I’m not gonna buy a cat any time soon due to lack of dealers, and the cat dealers that are around have no parts.

Any part I have needed for our cat zr200 I have had to buy from yamaha or sit out the rest of the season.

Man that single sounds terrible out in the hills!

It’s crazy that Cat is so behind the 8 ball on the big bore power plant in comparison to the 850 turbos and the 900. They never use to be the company that lacked in that department.

I think they need 2 big bore options. A 850 turbo or supercharger to match the others and a over 900 N/A, ideally a 1000 in the 200hp range.

My 800 was faster than the 2 9r we rode with on the weekend.

I thought that back in the day cat had a strong 900 engine?

They also never used to be owned by Textron. Signed a deal with the devil I’d say…

I was thinking that too.

Do they even have a 800 for next season in the new chassis?


Maybe they'll surprise us with the spring release with something with some more HP

My 800 was faster than the 2 9r we rode with on the weekend.

There was a 9R in our group for the last 2 days and everone that rode it was very underwhelmed. Maybe after break it gets all this power all the Polaris influencers brag about....

 

[NoBrakes!]

At this point they should show their cards and say "look, this is what we have been working on, and we need another year...."

At least give the guys something to look forward to

I'm wondering if they will still sell the older chassis as a 2024 with the 800? as well as the Catalyst?
