2018 Deep Powder Challenge

Polaris Vs. Ski-Doo Vs. Arctic Cat

Situation 5

The powerband of an 800 tends to jump out from under you while the powerband of the 600 runs out before you crest the hill.

• When it comes to power, Ski-Doo has the most linear powerband (creating power throughout the entire throttle pull—initiating smoothly on the bottom and keeps building in relationship to the throttle pull).

Cat has the strongest bottom (maybe because the track hooks up so well) and propels you up on the snow fast.

Polaris does a great job in getting up on the snow and staying on top of the snow … but it just doesn’t feel as strong as the other two snowmobiles. It does its job. It will get you where you want to go.
