¦ The verdict
Like we said in the beginning, many of our riders agreed to disagree. I liked the Polaris, our Senior Editor liked the Cat. But just like so many barstool debates, even trying to settle this argument on the snow won’t really produce a concession from either side. We like what we like, and that’s OK.
The major differences of opinion can really be narrowed down to three areas: track length, shocks and ergonomics.
If you like a little smoother ride through the smaller stutters, the ease of mindless front shock adjustment, and a little bit more mobility on the seat, then you’re probably going to be in tune with the Arctic Cat ZR 6000 RR.
If you’d rather take extremely nimble cornering over the smoother ride, a firmer seat that holds you in place, and more shock settings to select between, then you’ll probably get in line for the Polaris 600 Rush XCR.
Neither one is the wrong choice.
