So a 170 hp 900 poo weighs 3# more with 15# more fluids on board than a 125hp 600 cat.

Are you asking or telling?

You are right but you need to add the track difference 5 ish more lbs and $5700.00 (CAD). From what I have seen that 2.75 is no match for the 3.00 Alpha in the powder.

We lost 3 gallons of gas so they could hit a number, f that.
Wet is 503, the 9r is 507 but still has a big fuel tank. So car is still way behind Polaris by over 10lbs.
Stupid.
And for sure not a 10% weight loss. Complete lie there,

Maybe the engine is so magical, it’ll get 20mpg.

i think the new gauge is pretty nice compared to the old twin screen. Its not a 42 inch plasma but it displays the needed info well, and i noticed that the hand warmers have four settings thats going to be nice.

Considering for example the eleventyhoundredandseven times Polaris has claimed a 10% horsepower gain over the years, percentages waved around by marketing people shouldn't be taken as proven facts regardless of brand.

The Ascender to Catalyst weight loss sits at 7% currently 540 to 503 . If the 858 is 5 lbs less they are sitting at 9%. So not the 10% they claimed but close. Now the less fuel thing that is something most hadn't thought of I'm guessing. Up to release of the Catalyst all the info was 10.4 gallon tank then when the owners manual was posted it was 9.4. I don't know which it is but the math from wet to dry supports the 9.4. The only way to be certain is an owner to actually fill one at the pumps from empty. Either way it is a greasy way to promote a weight loss. This is a good example of where a dry weight would have be a better gauge, but it probably looked good on paper. The fuel isn't a 3 gallon difference but I do share the same frustration as WyoBoy 1000. It is 2.3 G or 1.3G depending on the Cataltst actual. 14 lbs or 8 lbs as compared to the Ascender rated amount. Personally I think we all need a good dump of snow and to just get out and ride that has a way of making things right!

The 10% weight loss claim could also be the ZR or some other model. They didn't specify the M model.
What a bunch of cry babies.

Dry weight is ALL that matters, and it has ALWAYS been that way!

Otherwise it is a race to have the least amount of coolant, smallest gas tank, and smallest oil tank. Pure silliness!

Wet weight is just marketing "fuzzy math" that the heavier sled Mfgs. use to try to compete with the lighter sleds . . . . period!

The horse is dead. Maybe it is time to stop kicking it!

You had to read the 'fine print' - the 10% weight loss was on certain models. I could never get a rep to commit to the 10% on the mountain sled specifically. Regardless, it's still a big step as is, after doing very minimal in the weight department since the proclimb was released in 2012. Less weight is awesome, but if it folds like a tin can, then it's not worth it.

To a certain degree, who really cares about weight. All lightweight seems to do is drive up price, and drive down reliability.

my 154 with E start and the front shocks 80% stiff tips a hell of a lot easier than my 18 cat sitting on the same slab of concrete. if its like that in the snow which it should be im going to over ride for the first couple days. should be less of a workout. less weight and the weight is in a better place for balance and what not it seems. just need some f&%king snow.

Yet your in every weight conversation on the planet! Call that kettle much?

^ ^ ^ apparently it's one heck of a tough horse

I have always found it a real bitch to start and try to ride without any fluids in a sled.
