How are the 17 mountain cats performing? MC is the
only one I am curious to hear, plenty of limiteds, but not the same..

Mountain Cats are amazing themselves. I absolutely love mine but its going up for sale after the next trip so I can give an 18 a try for next year.

I heard (after a bunch of mumbling) the 18 is 6lbs lighter than the 17 mtn cat in that video.

I think there will be more on this soon. They can't let everything out of the bag yet, which is why there was some hesitation in the response. Pure speculation on my part of course.....

Why isn't it hanging from a scale yet? Ha

Too heavy, broke the scale.

It sounded like to me he wasn't sure what to say and was scared to say to much

listed weight on a 17 MC 153 is 466.
so 460 based on that vid.
just cats listed spec, who knows.
i think the hesitation was because thts not a mountain cat, and the MC will be lighter.

polaris guys can laugh at that, as they remove their sharp carbides, lol

i think cat ships them with some fluids in them no?

would be smart if they decreased the size of the oil res on these new ones, for the guys who fill everything to the top and compare weights.

Is 466 the dry weight of the 17 MC? That's all I'm interested in, don't care about Rtr, just look at the poor doo boys with a 9.5 gallon tank just to make it seem lighter than it is. The only way a sled should be weighed is dry or soon we will have one gallon tanks These are the early release sleds, the in season models are likely to be slightly different.

Country Cat did a wet weight with 1 gallon of fuel on their new 18. It was 484

I have a 162" MC and I am very impressed with the sled. The biggest thing I noticed is how it climbs right up on top of the snow. It is really easy to sidehill and holds lines really well, way more predictable than previous years. I am by no means an excellent rider but coming off a 2015 it is a world of difference.

 

[FLY_HIGH]

Seems a tad high. But I'd ride it before I knock it.

 

[03Firecatguy]

3" 155 Axys topped off is 517, so its still 27lbs heavy but the Axys holds 20lbs extra snow while riding.

 

[sled-fiend]

Sounding good...

Aftermarket goodies should be readily available for next season with this early release! Hopefully SLP has their hands on one.

So the early release Snopro is 8-9lbs lighter than the 17 Mountain Cat. Saw a vid that said over 30% better bottom and 18% better midrange on the motor. Should be one awesome tree slayer

 

[SnoPro1000]

From the video he says that it's 18 pounds lighter then the snopro and 8-9 lighter then the mountain cat, stands to reason that the mountain cat should be lighter then the snopro again this year?

Mine finally came in Friday night and went down to put deposit on it so can't wait to be riding it next weekend

Or not. Decreasing tank sizes to look better on the wet weight scale is the stupidest effing thing ive ever heard of. If you want to save 6 pounds by not putting a gallon of fluid in then do that, but leave the door open for the rest of us to carry enough fluids into the backcountry without having to pack extras.

Publishing dry weights would be a better place to start.
