Speaking of envelopes, how about those Doo bulkheads??
Rip off the back half of the tunnel on each and see who rides their sled back to the truck.... lol
cats tunnel is just for snow deflection. Doo and Poo have water all the way back to the snowflap....

Not in my experience which includes a rack carrying two pairs of skis on a regular basis.
I do have a tunnel reinforcing bumper on my 2016 but have a buddy without who's had no issues carrying the same loads.

The other was fine but this is a little more apples to apples. All close enough that it is meaningless other than a talking point. If everyone had electric start doo and poo would be about even. Doo might even be lighter. The alpha is the pig of the bunch and as usual Polaris is the lightest. Wish they would have had a 175 doo.
Yeah apples to apples haha poo 174 434 vs doo 165 446 which holds 2 gallons less so add another 13-14 lbs so 25lbs difference with a longer track. A belt drive poo is 40- 50lbs lighter than comparable doo or cat in the same track length if u don't think that's a big difference take your brand loyalty blinders off.
My 45yr old wife doesn't need electric start I'll give props to doo for the no weight penalty of having it but it doesn't work all the time either.

weird how the top of poo tunnels all have a saggy spot that a couple more rivets might fix
What's the difference between the Freeride and the Summit that adds so much weight??
stupid colors really pack on the pounds
Bulkhead bracing, shocks, internal tunnel bracing, wider A arms.
For what on Bracing it's the best thing on Yellow Snow ..
And only wide on the 38 one .. normal Freeride 154/165 are narrow but still the better shocks ..
IMOO . The 38 model is a gimmick so I you think you get more ! The 36s roll much better but still Sub

All the bruised egos are worth at least 2-3 lbs on the Doos.
That's engineered as a built-in suspension design.
Is this why Cats always feel nose heavy? Weight not distributed well?
They weighed a 163 850 so, yes, apples to apples. They compared the same sleds. Polaris is lighter. No argument here but you want to take the lighter Polaris and compare apples to oranges and make it sound like a bigger deal than it is.
You don't add anymore weight. They are what they are. If one has more foam in the seat do you add that. Everyone should have added to the older sled because cat had 4 plugs. If they don't have enough gas they will have to pack gas. If you are so bent on it leave your sled 2 gallons short.
I'm just stating a fact on the electric start. Doo might be lighter if poo had electric start.if you don't like it don't buy it. There are a lot of people, including me and my wife, that do. I am also here to tell you that your sled won't go anywhere that mine won't because you don't have electric start. Also my cranky concrete shoulder will like it better. The shot has always worked. Never not worked so if one doesn't work it needs taken in.
