those old pro turbos are turds. I wish they would post one running next to an 18 850 doo and 18 axys and even the 18 mountain cat. I would love to see the comparison. I know those guys have their 18s with the speed works stage two kit with them, makes me wonder why they don't show us a video of them comparing those two. seriously why would you line up next too 6yr old technology. with that said im still buying the Alpha next year its going to be an awesome sled..

Over at Arctic Insider, they say the conversion kit for a 17 Mtn Cat and any 18 M will be available. Shocks you need to contact your dealer to determine if you need new ones or not.

I will have an easier time convincing the wife of this direction, than an new sled!

I am having a difficult time talking myself out of the Alpha Cat... i have always rode a sled for a few yrs, love my 18 but i can see the Alpha making me even happier.....lol

Is she the high maintenance supermodel or the hot girl next door....?
Either way, i want her in my garage next yr....

Killer Vid, my Camso snowbike has the single rail system that looks similar to the Alpha, and it works exceptional!

Sold my 18 cat today, now the debate Alpha short or long. Last sled 14 M8000 162 loved it they 18 was better (153) but I need the Alpha! Just don't know long or short?

Wow that is the weakest turbo Polaris I have ever seen, everyone in my group it would have carried the front end all the way up.

So what is the Alpha with a turbo going to be like?.........?

Same question I have - one day I’m ordering a 154 the next a 165. Can’t make up my darn mind. I like the 153 in the traditional skid but this thing looks so playful it seems like the 165 would be just as playful as the current 153s....grrr!!!!!

I went with a 162 Mountain Cat this year, been riding 153 since 08. All my buddies have 163s.
I have been happy as can be. Only down side is the wheelies, my 153s were wheelie monsters, i had lots of wheelie fun.
I do not regret the longer track, i luv it in the thick trees.

you will need a new rear shock the +18 sleds are 1" longer https://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=441176

The question Is how aggressive do you ride, this is something you'll have to ask yourself. The 153" is a lot of fun but with that being said it screws a lot of guys because of wheelies end need to keep track speed up, The 163/165 is a lot more predictable and you don't have to be on the ball as much the new 163/165s feel more like the older 153s really impressive.

Something definitely wrong with that Pro. Saw some good running Pro’s last weekend. Non boosted sleds couldn’t come with in half the mountain from them.

Saw the alpha in person at our local dealership, all I can say is if this rips as good as it looks I’d be happy. Cat really put out a beauty, they will definitely steal some snochecks away from doo & poo. I’ve been on doos for 10 years, & have not been this excited to take delivery of a new sled ever. Fit n finish is right there with doo. This thing screams sexy! I can’t wait!

So what do you think your kit does better and worse versus a 2 rail skid on a bike?

I wanna ride what and where this guy is!!!

That part when he got up against the tree and got out was just unreal, loved the part where he was loosing mo going up and just wiggled the boards and kept going was pretty impressive.
