XM vs Pro vs PC

At least we have decent snow, some of you guys south of the border are hurting this year.
 
Thanks for the report.. Good to hear results of a test done under the SAME conditions regardless of what they were. Threads like this bring out the brand loyalty with claws if they don't hear what they want to hear.. Put the poo on top and halve the post would be different... Thanks again. I only wish i had the opportunity to ride all three the same day... Btw, I'll still buy a cat... :target: :cheer2:
 
You can shed weight and add reliable horsepower ten times easier and cheaper on the Cat. Very steep sidehills, riding next to a Pro is the only time you get pissed off at your Cat. Just the fact that every Tod on the planet is reason enough to buy an XM or Cat.

I'm confused by the title. Are the ski doo and cat fighting for 2nd place? Because everyone knows the pro is number 1 ;)
 
Funny

Nothing more pathetic than a bunch of grown men arguing about what sled is better. If its it got two skis and a track ride it and be happy.
If ya have problems sidehilling any sled, then maybe think about hitting the gym.
Sorry, buts its annoying.

well if the "grown men" in boardrooms of the 4 manufacturers didn;t argue about which is better and if they were happy with two ski's and a track you would still be enjoying your Elan....

First I want to thank spoon for sharing. That is how I rank the sleds also.

Now I would like to share my views of the 3 sleds.
The polaris is the best looking snowmobile and it will sidehill the steepest slopes. The other 2 look like pregnant women! (Nothing against pregnant women). I think cat has the best track and most reliable engine. Doo has the coolest engine, u don't even have to shut it off when u want to talk to ur buddies it just purrs at an idle.

Polaris admits there shaft is bad and offered a fix before Christmas! They know their engine is suspect and offer a 4yr warranty.

Doo realized the XP couldnt sidehill and made the XM and it sidehills better than the proclimb. They admit fuel lines had issues and sent out a recall, I'm sure they will figure out whats going on with the t-motion bracket and update or fix.

Cat had a great sled with a ****ty ride. They fixed the ride now it doesn't sidehill as well but man does it ever boondock! It eats belts and cat denies it! Its heavy and cat denies it! Did I mention it is a blast to boondock!

Can't sidehill an xp? You poo guys gotta realize there's a difference between cant and don't need to.
 
Great report. Goodness some people get "excited" if their sled isn't picked winner. The sleds are so close it's crazy. That is EXCELLENT for the consumer. Talk about a stellar year for mountain riders. I have 3 Pros, one which is turboed. I had a 2012 Proclimb and sold it. Rode a 2013 Cat yesterday and boy was I IMPRESSED. While Cat may not have made huge changes, the improvements they made hit a home run, IMO anyway. Almost tempts me to get one. The Doo is getting great reviews and is working really well also. I have not ridden one, but the one in our group really shines.

Anyway, thanks for the report Spoon.

Gotta thank Spoon for posting his experience. Lol, takes Kahoonas knowing a hecklin' is comin' from the peanut gallery. Didn't cover all conditions but we know his opinions in these conditions. Would be helpful if others that have had the same opportunity as Spoon in different conditions could post.
 
That's funny because I watched 5 guys ride the xm for the first time this weekend. Cat and poo riders. They all had the same thing to say when done riding the xm. What they said was ......... This will be my next sled.
 
I had a chance last weekend to ride all 3. They are all great and depending on what the rider likes to do and what his/her skill level is will determine which sled fits them best. The XM felt like it was by far the best point and shoot sled of the bunch. Definitely a huge improvement over the older REV chassis. The wide track seems to try to upright itself when I pulled it over, but it did pull over nicely. The pro was felt lacking in the power department which disappointed me. It does look and handle exactly like a mountain sled should. I would love to have one with 170 hp. The cat is somewhere in the middle. I can sidehill it as good or better than the other two, but I'm used to it. I know cat is limited on the very steep sidehill slopes. I think the doo will struggle in the same scenario. Anyways they are all good, ride them and see what you like best.
 
After sifting through all the d!ck waving b.s. it was good to get some honest opinions in this thread. I still feel that any of the 3 will be fun and I doubt you'll honestly be missing anything on a great powder day.

With that in mind I'll be looking harder at price tags than internet opinions next fall.

Yeah, lets be honest, we all know the number 1 is yamaha. The other 3 are fighting for second place
