I am not saying the xp's are bad because they are good sleds as are the new dragons, however, the new cat runs real good this year. The new powerclaw works real well in the soft snow. I am not saying the cats rule the roost.
09 m8 sno pro schooled us today

Hi guys how powerclay holds in set up snow because here in WA snow is like concrete right now .Thanks. PS I think BRP should do some make over to xp, they are harder to handel compare to rev,Ms,dragons. I hope economy will improve this year
so I can sale my Xp and buy new M8.
so I can sale my Xp and buy new M8.get rid of the reverse cut helix and it will be a differnt story
How does a heavier sled with less track speed out go your XP's??

our buddy bought a m8 162 and we rode today in the horns and that baby goes--doesnt carry a lot of track speed[37 mph] but it gets on the snow and showed all our 154 doo's how to climb--it just keeps going like the energizer bunny well except when you need the doo bottom end

It's all in the track. Seen a couple of 08 Cats that had done the track and they are far better than stock. Powerclaw on mine next year for sure.

Argument doesn't fly,longest track to longest track,if Cat wanted to use a 16 wide they could! BTW.........just read the about Idaho Avy,be safe guys there are way to many people dieing this year.............I love snowmobiling but not enough to die for it

Not sure,6 or 7 hours maybe? You're welcome anytime!
Ahhh OK. But the 154 x 16 has more sq " than a 162x15
I call BS on that. That new cat bumper only comes into play when the sled is laid over on a sidehill. On point and shoot there is no difference which is what the pics looked like.
Haha, i doo like how the 16 vs 15" track goes out the window now. Its not physically possible for a 16" wide to fit in the god damn delightful M chassis.
Really?
It seems like the xp throttle response is what make it's front end light. I think the best test is to turn around from downhill to uphill in the deep. I havn't witnessed many xp's that can match the M in this case.

in 2004 i put a 159 series 4 poo track on my rev and it was a noticable improvement--i think length is more important than width--we have seen that--i also think cat got the track and geometry better than doo this year--i wish we had the 06 suspension under our xp's-thats just and opinnion----as far as the reverse cut helix we had xp's with straight cut helixs and they were not as good as ours in the snow--

the cat was turnig 37 mph track speed--at 7700 rpms--is this about right ??????????
Brian,did your dad stop and price a new xp on the way home
i told him he should offer to buy kyles sled and then kyle can get yours or his dads.
Pipe Y-pipe can?????? If not leave it alone. Tach could be off 200rpm either way. If so shoot for 8000rpm's will add track speed!!!!the cat was turnig 37 mph track speed--at 7700 rpms--is this about right ??????????
