Who knows, you may be right, especially if the spring order model has some nice goodies. But regardless I think its plenty early to be calling it the best sled of 2018.

Also - why is a tether not a standard safety requirement on all of these sleds, regardless of manufacturer. I have installed 5 of them in recent months, it's a PITA because of where they locate the plug to tap into the harness - at least make that somewhat accessible. Yes I hope Cat reads these posts on these forums!
Anyways - good job Cat - about time.[/QUOTE]
Cat would definitely go bankrupt if they started to put their tethers on all of the sleds. Could you imagine how many warranty claims they would have with it. Unless they have changed them from what they had in 2014 and earlier. Now if it was like the OFT tether and mounted on the steering post out of the way Heck Yah!!

Maybe they could copy Doo.....they have had that figured out for years.
Hmmmm... Having a hard time believing the heavy old Pro Climb could ever be number 1
Even I could be wrong, once

Good looking sled. They still have those clunky controls and those handlebars. I dislike that setup and have for a long time. I wish they would just shrink some of that down.
hey 89sandman, polaris had the better chassis before 2011 too
Maybe slightly but the cat motor was so far ahead it wasn't even a comparison which was the better sled.
id say not in 07-09. maybe in 10-11.
i even thought the heavy 05 900s were more fun then the boring cat chassis, maybe just me. 06 rmk600 all day over an M7 imo, just more fun.
That's grey...
But in all seriousness. Cat cut corners on the shocks. They finally moved to coil overs for their sno pro trail sleds. But they are still sticking to the gimmicky floats for "weight loss" on the sno pro M's

you forget how much the professor did on his M compared to Burandt back then...Brett looked like he was barely working while Chris was "danglin" all over the place.

I don't have a lot of experience with the sno pros and the float 3's but the evols are no gimmick. Those work awesome!

Are these new shocks coil over? I hate air
At least with the Cat controls on the handle bars you wont be famous on YouTube like the Polaris rider I think that stopped to talk to his buddies and another guy rode by and hit his reverse switch and when they took off the guy pinned it went over the front of his sled.
