Looks like Cat is sticking a thorn into Polaris/Timersled getting a snowbike on the market. Then again it may not be in the plan for Polaris/Timbersled to put out a finished snowbike but are content to be a parts supplier.

Meh... I mean, yeah, a big company is getting into it but it looks A LOT like what we already have. Shoulda spent a little more R&D cash to come to the table with something that will blow people out of the water.

Good for them coming out with a ready to ride bike! It does look a little heavy though. I hope they do well.

I'm not going to buy a 450 four stroke. Please bring out a motor that will survive more than 100 hours.

Cat just keeps dropping the ball!! If your going to build a snowbike put an engine in it. 450???? we have those now!! Arctic Cat is kind of like buying a cheap Chinese knock off anymore. Used to have great sleds (M Series) now.... well I think they have all but given up. Arctic Cat shoots and misses at every thing they try, Wildcat, Proclimb, SVX. Good luck Cat, you are going to need it!!

They went with an existing dirt bike, a Sherco. Maybe they will go bigger, it feels like Cat is just dipping it's toes into the water with this.

5 carbide ski


We never said it was easy, just that it looked cool.

Any specs and good pics? It looks like the track/skid might be under the bike a bit more than the TS.

 

[BIG BORE 365]

looks disappointing to say the least. Ski does look interesting but other then that I don't see anything to really make it a purpose built machine. Front suspension looks like it might be valved and sprung property as it looks like it pops pretty good. I expected to see more modifications to the bike. It looks like its a conversion kit more then a purpose built. I don't see any engine shrouding. I don't see wide pegs or wide shifter. I see stupid looking old style acerbic hand guards that would provide no wind protection... track doesn't look tapered... and actually look pretty heavy... was really hoping to see something that would define what snowbike really are. They will probably sell a wheel and swing arm kit..... DISAPPOINTED MR Cat was excited to see what you had been hiding from us...​

I must admit I am really happy that TS is about the same as last year besides new price points and that this Arctic Cat looks far from a total game changer.

My wallet can take another year off!!

 

[snowmobiler]

will be game changer if its only $6000.LOL

 

[UPsnowbiker]

Very true.

 

[BIG BORE 365]

its gota be under 10k to make it worth it. IMO

 

[RACINSTATION]

A $9000 bike and a $6500 kit would definitely be a deal at under 10K.

Ya id expect some sort of a packaged deal or discount when your loosing the tires, rims, swing arm, brakes and being forced to buy a sherco... I cant think of to many people that would jump to spend $15,500. maybe im crazy tho
