anyone know is this correct?

If I was a betting man, I would say it does not come with the lighter parts, similar to the early release - both shafts, tank, and brake caliper. Sounded like only the MC and sno pro would get the light weight stuff. I very easily could be wrong about, just a fat guess.

My dealer is telling me the sno pro will come with the LW parts. But I can see Cat not doing that in the end.

That Speedwerx setup pic was taken at the dealer meeting this week.

Anyone else see that new lockout shock for the rear on the Mountain Cat? I think it's kinda like a cheap mans version of a coupled skid. Keeps wheelies down for climbs. There is a vid showing it in use on the snow online against an axys and 850.

Is there a link to the vid?

Not sure how to link a video from Facebook. It was posted an the Sledderz group page and its got the doo and poo crowd in a tizzy! it was also posted on the proclimb Facebook page.

If your computers like mine let it run through once then hit the replay button when it comes up in the center of the screen then click at the beginning of the time bar and you can actually see the video like it should be...

Jeez if some of you are going to buy a different brand of sled based on colour alone.... don't let the door hit you in *** on the way out lol.

Ya because it says CAT that's good enough , no wraps no lightweight ! I'm a Polaris rider till I die just here lurking !! I didn't notice all the above except where is the HCR and 600 ?? Must be a new Wide chassis for Summer release ??

Love the new narrow body idea , no one has that !!

Funny video !! What if they were all long tracks and stayed on the throttle ?? The Polaris is Obviously a Switchback Assault cuz it's got shorter than the Dash Bars and Big wide Arms , the Doo isn't even a 850 Chassis it has the wrong hood !!

Love these unbiased videos

The video shows just how much it keeps ski lift down locking out the rear shock. Cause otherwise the cat wheelies pretty good. Thats all you need to take from it. Not the other 2 sleds in it.

Video.

Exactly.
What they should do is make a video with the same 2 sleds. One with the locked out shock locked and the other with it unlocked. That'll show the difference the locked shock makes.

Yep. Anyone that can't read the video as a bit of a joke from cat is really clueless. Obviously the Doo and Poo probably could have went without getting stuck. This was cat engineers out having fun and someone took the video as a joke. Definitely would love the locked out shock up against same sled without and see that video.

Nah that would actually just show how little difference it makes.


Anyone with compression clicker shocks can do the same test. This forum is full of posts with people talking about too stiff of a rear suspension causes trenching. Now it's a 'feature'.


Like all the mountainbikers keep saying it's funny to watch 15 year old mountain bike shock ideas make it to sleds.


I actually think I'd use it because I use my sled for skiing (riding two up). But for 'normal' riding I really don't want to be stopping, flipping a switch in a snow caked skid just because I come to a steep hill. I'd much rather have a normal adjustment knob and just find a good setting for the day.

thats cuz its a forum and its full of people who just started riding.

from my dealer for anyone else that is curious.

"We just learned Sno Pro and Mountain Cat machines will have all the new lightweight parts with the exception electric start models will not have the lightweight tank. The SE model will not have the light tank in any models."

 

[snoluver]

Has anyone confirmed if the early release sno pro has the light weight stuff on it?

LOTS of people have confirmed it does not

[BlueDevil]

Pretty sad that we have no idea what they are trying to sell us. Kinda makes a guy wonder if they even know?
