I rode a 2016 m8000 limited with the 3" inch track last year for a while and liked it as far as handling was concerned. I ride a 2016 800 Axis rmk 154 as my normal ride. I think the arctic cat turns in better. I also had a very nice light feeling while riding it, but after watching the owner ride it all day I noticed it did not get up on the snow like the axis did. It was more prone to get stuck and when it did it was harder to get unstuck. For a younger rider it would be all good. For an old guy like me I have to go with the lighter sled. For the money saved, it was a good choice however.

Yes the 16 and 17 cats are on another level compared to the earlier Proclimbs. They should have changed the plastic and called it a new chassis, it is that much better.
