If you look at the M version it does appear to have a more vertical post compared to the other two, so hopefully they kept the vertical steering. I agree on the lay down steering sucking.
2023 cat reveal!!
- Thread starter madmax
- Start date
So let's talk price, are we thinking twenty grand for a 600?
It’s nice to finally see future snowmobile product from Cat, but I feel it’s still prototype and they certainly haven’t shown all their cards. I don’t think they should have even put an engine size out there, just leave the “600” off there except on the RXC. There are still variables to be hammered out on these things including the engines, don’t get everyone wound up about 600 Cc only, it takes away from this launch and there are certainly larger engines that will be in these sleds.
The other thing is that Cat put themselves in this position, this is exciting, but not something that seems fully ready to go. If they follow through with demo sleds this year that would be good, otherwise your going to catch flack when you reveal a new platform and have a lot of unanswered questions because it’s just not quite ready.
I’m a big Cat fan, and this is exciting for me, but I can see how they are still trying to be a viable legit choice while working through headwinds from Textron that put them in this position.
Somewhat frustrating, but that’s been a common thread with Textron. Really wonder about their strategy, I’m sure this thing was green lighted, stopped, started again… repeat…. And here we are.

Chassis elements I like over the competition: No oil tank over the clutches, that just seems wrong.
Secondary not overtop of primary requiring an hvac drag system on clutches and raising COG.
Brake on driveshaft where it belongs, safety concern. Doesnt stick out a mile either.
Gas tank mostly in front of seat instead of evenly spread under your a$$.
thats about it so far...

Like I said: Bookmark this post. We will see.
Way off.
nice video but what drives me nuts is its all the same info everywhere. nobody talks or shows the belt drive, how is it lighter etc. sure be nice if they would release some actual info
I don't see any evidence of what cat called the spared chassis on the Proclimb. Show me the chassis please!

Intresting about the steering this should be good.
i noticed at about the one minute 3 second mark you can see on a banner behind him a single cylinder engine and it says 45hp 600cc single cylinder, is this for a new very entry level sled is it a atv engine that there going to put in one? everything else on the banner is sled related so i assume its some sort of 4 strok sled engine maybe for a new blast in this new chassis a cheaper version of the blast with the same hp as the new little doo.
that is for the ATV's
Yes, I turned the skis on the display sled, It is still a vertical post on the M sled.
The photos Christopher was able to post here show the vertical steering better. Hopefully there's some storage under that quick release seat for the models without a battery.

Arctic Cat "Catalyst"
Many members of the forum have been asking me for a new thread on the Catalyst with all the inside information that I "NORMALLY" have access to via the SnoWest Magazine. I hate to say it, but MOST of the real content is under LONG TERM EMBARGO. My best guess is that Cat is going to SLOWLY DOLE...

Anybody else bail on this year's snowcheck?
Thanks for the info and good to know!
