Let’s face it: you’re paying for something that will get you through the deep snow. The M 8000 153 offers the same 794cc C-Tec2 engine with DSI as the other Cat mountain sleds—complete with electronic injection, digitally controlled CDI, dual-stage injection and tuned pipe with stainless steel muffler.
Just like the other two mountain models, the M 8000 is based on the Ascender platform with Next Gen mountain body panels and revised bellypan shaped to allow it to cut through the snow and cling to the sidehill.
And just like the two more expensive versions, the M 8000 features a Team Rapid Response II drive clutch and Team Rapid Reaction Boss driven clutch. All the great innovations for 2018 are found on the less expensive model.
