So 2023 is going to have zero sled sales is what I'm getting out of this. That sounds like a horrific way to do business.

This also makes me think Pro Climb with a shared chassis instead of use specific models. I guess if they get it right it can work but again, trail vs mountain in my opinion should be vastly different.

 

[madmax]

All the brands do shared chassis mtn to flat land, not 100% ideal. Let’s just hope it’s tailored to the mountains, narrower, lighter and more power.

Those photos look way too similar, maby just a new headlight

I’m guessing they were not anticipating a large amount of sales for 2023 MY’s anyway. Get rid of current inventory and focus on building and delivering 2024s on time.

So they are on roughly a 6 year span for platforms. One out early to keep people talkin.
get to read through the business marketing know it all stuff here till then i guess

Well I'm ordering one. The 154 alpha needs replacing, and the 143 hardcore still has two years left for me.

We already have pre-bitching?

A true case where being first doesn’t make you a winner.

Who has bitched?

I believe it’ll be pretty amazing, from those who have riden it, it’s a significant change. There will always be the haters though, no matter how cool it is.

If they are unveiling at hay days that makes me think there will be a mid-year spring release in limited numbers. Curious on which one of the powerplant options they were developing they will be leading with.

Super exciting! Sounds like they did their homework and listened to the growing list of feedback. The Firecat was the basis of The M -Series if I’m not mistaken and it did very well for us mountain riders. Hopefully this chassis works great for the trail crowd and transitions well for the mountain segment.

I’m just pumped we finally have something exciting in the pipeline, if you’re Arctic Cat fan or even just a fan of the sport/industry this is awesome! ? Might have to try to make it to Haydays this year!

Yep, but a lot of my rides have about 20 miles of trail out of necessity. If the mountain sled has to share some traits with the trail line to make it handle flat corners and big bumps I'll take it.

Hell yeah, super excited to hear this. Extremely happy with my 21 Alpha 154, best performing sled I've ever owned. If the new one is vastly improved and the price point is right, not ridiculous like the others , I would definitely jump on board. My Cats have always been reliable, so first year issues don't concern me too much.

seems no one is talking about what seems to be the biggest change I see...... Did Cat FINNALY hire a marketing team from this decade?

I was thinking that, we haven't seen hype like this out of Cat in a long time. I actually got excited when I saw their post on FB!

 

[DITCHBANGER]

seems low and wide? hopefully the mtn chassis is not made to fit a winder motor in it.
