2024 catalyst

[koolaid]

With only a 600 to ride what can the pros really say about it? "gee, I was underwhelmed? " " It'll be a great sled for my wife? " I don't think you're gonna see much out of real riders until the big motors come out. Not many (read - none) guys riding 600's in our neck of the woods anymore.

Come on man, clearly you know this has a completely new chassis. I am not expecting a ton of talk about the 600's power but why little to no talk about it's handling? Does it sit higher than the Alpha, does it dive in powder downhill or how about turning downhill, is the pushing gone. How about a little talk about getting it on edge, side hill, Catalyst with mono rail vs. Alpha?

Man, I've read less than a paragraph on this new chassis from guys whom have actually ridden it!

While I agree with you it would be nice if there were more ride reports there are a few if you look for them. For instance Snowest has some great info on their podcast…..highly recommend listening to that episode. Anybody who gets one is either fully understanding it’s only a 600 or hoping for the aftermarket companies come out with kits to pump the power up. I’m stoked to be on one for next season.

i guess some people arent into listening to podcasts.

I have a question that I havent seen asked yet and if it was my apalogies for missiong it. With yamaha being involved with Cat yet could there be any possability of Yamaha re entering the 2 stroke snowbile world, and that is the reason why cat is only doing the Catalyst in a 600 for the first year. I would be stoked for yamaha to finally ditch the 4 stroke mountain crap and give us one of their badass 2 smokers we all know they can build, a big twin yammer hammer would have me beating down the dealers door.

I think everyone who has rode one has a firm NDA in place and are afraid to say anything, especially on a forum until after the reveal tomorrow.

Yamaha will never make another 2 stroke. Proof is they use cats Ctec2 in there sleds. Enough already!

snowest podcast belongs to the highest bidder. I'd rather hear from real people too

Agreed I’d like to hear from real people too. But Harris makes no bones about not being a fan of Cat in recent years and even he had high praise for the Catalyst

It's like that Sienfeld episode where his g/f was hot or scary depending on the angle and lighting. In these photos, that bodywork looks like a short gal with a fat ass. Why didn't they narrow these things up where it was needed?

Whats wrong with that???

All the junk has to fit in the trunk somewhere.

I think I'll buy a new 146" 600 and have SSI turn it to

Into the 800 mod.. then still let everyone think it's only a six!

Good plan! My dad had a truck like that when I was growing up - mild on the outside, wild on the inside!

Thought i heard the 3 inch 154 is 10 pounds lighter than the 2.6 154. Still don't give a weight anywhere.

Not a very exciting reveal. Few technical details, but pricing numbers at least for various tracks and ES/Non-ES. Kinda sucks you have to get ES if you want the white color. Down to 10.4 gallon fuel tank. 2.63 gear ratio maintained stock.

 

[hansenmac]

would like to see a weight for curiosities sake

Good luck. Ship is going to sail before you ever see that. March 7th they're gone is my bet. My dealer got allotted 2 and neither is what i wanted. Wanted a 2.6 146 for my daughter. We'll see.

 

[Krause09]

My dealer was allotted (6)2.6 and (6)3”
I was able to get him my info and card so I don’t miss out
I’m hoping to get 154 3” in black manual start with tread?

 

[WhiskeyTee]

How big is your dealer?
