I was looking through the Supertrax magazine I got in the mail, and found an interesting little article about the 2012 cats. It states cat is due to release at least one new engine to conform with epa. 2 stroke di or 4 stroke is the question. It also states cat will likely have a new modular style front bulkhead and body work chassis. hmmm. Arctic cat still strongly denies the transfer of the potent sno-pro xc and sno-x chassis into full production. hmmm. Theres also a picture of the 500 sno pro tub with an 800 in it. Maybe everyone knows all this, but I thought I would share.

They should at least offer a pipe or maybe even a complete swap kit.

Did you notice the carburetors/throttle bodies? It's a small picture but to me it seems they are not either? Are those just air valves -> the engine is DI?

Same article with sharper pic can be found from here:

With arctic cat coming out with their new engine plant in St. Cloud and Spaulding a 2 stroke engineer who seems to know what he is doing and seems to be excited about it I am confident they will be coming out with a new 800di engine of some sort. I can also see moving to the Sno Pro chassis, but it might even be a little different than the sno pro chassis for the Mountain sleds.

It would be impressive if cat did come out with an American made DI800. :thumb:

While pol is moving their engine manufacting to mexico to cut manufacturing costs and wondering why their 800's still don't work:face-icon-small-dis.

It will be impressive if they can make half the motor Suzuki can.

How come you're selling your 1000 green? Not enough power for you?
