Consensus on 858 Weight

[line8]

Figuring out my snow check for the 858. Never ordered an electric start sled. Any idea of how much weight I would be adding with the ES. if I get a lighter lithium battery and ditch the heavy stock battery?

The stock battery is huge. I think it weighs 13-15 pounds.

Polaris is 14ish and the cat battery is a fair amount bigger.

Yeah I have both on the shelf and Cats is about an inch in all directions bigger except the thickness is more

I lost almost 13 lbs switching to a lithium battery on the wifes 23 mtn max. Battery was physically the same size.

What lithium battery?

I put an "EarthX" lithium ion battery in my Khaos... rated to do better in the cold than, say, a Shorai. I'll do the same with my Catalyst. I'm totally addicted to electric start so I won't buy a new sled without it.

It was just the Batteries Plus branded one. Starts it great as well.

my noco was a group 14 i think vs the group 20 that came in it and it has worked great and is maybe 3 pounds plus comes with spacers to take up the extra space. i loooooovvvve my electric start. its not that its needed but wow its nice. ive had multiple shoulder surgeries so its nice for that fact too.

I don't know if it's a change or misprint but here it is. Extruded aluminum was never standard in the past, so it's not a carryover from prior year models.

I asked at the demo ride today. Composite boards are standard. They are suppose to fix this description.

They did tell me that you do not have to cut to put the better boards on. They actually unbolt now. I'm also pretty sure the muffler got bigger than the alpha.

my friends production 858 snopro 155 ..... just weighed it full of gas and oil hanging on one of those digital scales was 508 lbs

Is that with the composite running boards or the hardcore all aluminum running boards?

 

[hansenmac]

guessing close to 80lbs of fuel and oil then 15lbs or so of coolant. got to be in the low 400's dry weight then.

62.4 pounds of fuel, 5.525 pounds of oil, 10.425 pounds of coolant. All of that equals 78.35 pounds of liquids, therefore 429.65 pounds dry. Actual dry weight might be more, might be less but that's what we can calculate from that.

I assume no E-start with those numbers? 508lbs ready to ride is pretty good and it's good to see Cat right in line with the best from the other manufactures.

I am surprised that there isn't more chatter about this? I guess it is expected results but they are pretty impressive numbers IMHO. That's 20 lbs. lighter than the poutine princess, and on par with total recall. Now the Catalyst has to prove if its the cats meow or kitty litter? All kidding aside i am excited to get this sled and get out and ride it. Us Cat fans have waited a long time to get a sled like this and it's looking pretty darn good. at least on paper.

Thats what i expected. My 800 catalyst ended up under 490 wet.

If the motor runs even just as well as a piped 800 and is reliable, Polaris snowchecks are gonna look even more dismal next year.

A small racer mentioned that a new chassis is incoming for 2025…….

In the poo top 5 sponsored riders.

I could see that. Polaris’ chassis is essentially 10 years old (minus a plastic update)

With what I've observed on Catalyst parts coming from the aftermarket and free things I have done on other sleds It looks like a person could get a 154 3.0 track Catalyst near 470lb RTR with stock amount of fuel in the tank. The cost goes up SIGNIFICANTLY to get it to 465lb.
