Have you been following his vids? Do you get the impression he likes one more than the other?

Just curious,! They are both out of my price range anyways!

He gives very little in the way of commentary on the two sleds.

What I get is he likes the Polaris gauge and how it holds a sidehill and the lighter weight. He likes the SHOT, the throttle response and smooth power of the Doo. I think that’s why he ordered one of each again for next year. Good things from both platforms.

He's sidehills up some pretty steep ground pretty regular, and he likes the way the poo holds an edge...

That's exactly it. They all have their pros and cons. Which ever sled fills the pro column the most is the one for you and your riding. Cat gets lots of hate with their "10 year old chassis" but they have made lots of changes to it and the 22 cats work pretty damn well also. If you have 3 equally skilled riders on the comparable machine from each manufacturer they will all end up in the same place at the end of the day.

If they bring out a 3.5 pitch twin rail and turbo this year they will be right in there with Poo and Doo. I base my comparison in Fernie though. Fernie isn't really the place that a turbo shines any way. Trees are pretty tight and not enough room to let them breathe. A turbo will pull a sweet line here and there but usually isn't needed all day.

I can't comment on how they do in revy type riding.
