Catalyst Rear Suspension mounting hole measurement

31” o/c front bolt to rear bolt,

Is it the same as a catalyst? If a person could direct swap a twin rail skid into it with driver/track change that would be ideal.

Sank u mucho gracias!
It appears to be the same as a Proclimb/Ascender chassis. Within 1/4" anyway.
I've pretty much assembled enough parts for two twins for next year's cat.
Was pricing out a third earlier today
All used parts but I'll buy all new bushings
Just don't know what color to make em yet
I heard the new front arm is a bit longer which isn't a big deal since they are all steel parts
Think I got another lynx track locked in at a high price too
Looked like there's some Polaris series 9s available for $1860 5418541

Youre gonna regret wasting your time.
Don't fret, no time wasted
Thinking more along the lines of the zr 440 skid with the adjustable limiter on the handlebars
You scared of the alpha?

Just got the alpha handling the way I like it. Planning ahead. Figured I’d get a new suspension for the catalyst next year or so

I need to do the rear suspension mod on the alpha to get it to handle the way i want. The mod where you put a twin rail under it.
Hubs has a 15 skid but he's a little high on the price. Two parts are different from the acender
How can Hubs be high on price if he holds your prized superior suspension?

After 1 ride I sold the Alpha suspension, drivers and track and put a twin rail in. Alpha schmalfa
I gave the Alpha a season before switching to a twin rail elevate. There are more pros than cons with less traction the biggest con. This was on a 154/153 setup. There were two primary reasons that pushed me to make the switch:
1 - at my current age I don’t move as fast as I use to. The 154 Ascender Alpha reacts two quickly for my old ass!
2 - I spend a lot of my riding day following buddies throw tight trees. The alpha likes to make its own tracks and for me is way more work following a cut line in the thick. This is probably directly related to reason 1 above.
If I was in my 20s to late 30s I would have never given up the traction of the Alpha, no way!
With that said, I’m most likely ordering a 858 165 for next season. I will give it a sold season before making a decision to change to a twin. Even if AC offers a twin rail as an order option, I’m giving the Alpha an honest try in this new chassis. The traction is that good. Plus, it seams like a lot of the media and test riders that truly disliked the ascender alpha setup don’t have the same distaste for the catalyst. We will see. I can’t wait to hear all the consumer ride reports this winter. Damn it - it needs to start dumping!

Thanksgiving will definitely bring excessive dumping.
