Arctic Cat Nationwide Workforce Reduction

Snowtech magazine had an article about Cat's new 858. Basically, they said that Cat is really still years behind Doo and Polaris and needed to come with something big and didn't.

The Cat faithful may be psyched about the new 858, but without a dual rail mountain sled and a turbo, I don't think Cat is going to make a serious dent in sales. It's possible they pick up some people who are sick of the Polaris recalls and quality issues, I guess we'll see.

I do think the new Cats look nice and the quality has improved. But it might be too little, too late.

I dunno... had my first ride today on my new 858 and it's every bit as strong as my Khaos 850. The monorail takes some getting used to but its pretty amazing in powder. I'll agree they need a turbo but I think it's a pretty amazing sled out of the box.
