First ride on the 2010 M8

[hammo]

Rode the new M8 153 Snopro yesterday at Brandywine in Whistler, BC. This is the funnest sled I have ever ridden, I can't believe how agile it is. The new engine felt awesome and the throttle is so light! No more "throttle thumb". I think this sled is going to be a big hit for Arctic Cat this year, bring on the snow!

Good to hear, mine hasn't even touched snow yet and it is KILLING me.

Not enough snow to go for a run anywhere yet, but we got 10cm or so last night, I had it out on the lawn, can't wait to get a good ride in.

Have to agree, the few rips back and forth I had, gotta say, going to be a good ride.

Nice!

How did the steering feel? I heard they revamped it to lighten it up.

How was the stock clutching and belt heat??????????????????????????

That was over in Monte cristo yesterday. Go to the utah page and then test and tune and it's all there!

Thanks man!

The steering feels way lighter then the 09. I only rode an 09 HCR for a day last year, and the ski pressure was my only complaint. They seemed to have rectifed this for the 2010 sleds. The clutching feels bang on! The throttle is so light and responsive, it's crazy fun!

Looked at the new HCR8 and Snopro a couple days ago, have to admit I'd like to try one, sharp looking sleds. Nice job Cat.

two comments - one, i think its funny cat has "new" skis on their sleds for 10 and still no ones keeps them on!

and two, WY - you seem to be missing the rubber stoppers on your skis, they shouldn't be point down like that. Keep your tips up son!

FYI Cat didn't change their skis.

Ya, same crappy skis as last year.

and two, spur of the moment ride. Sold the stock skis and had to through some parobolic skis on for that ride. The rubbers did not fit the M series spindels. I have powder pros on now.
