Im in talks with Ibexx as I was inquiring about their intake setup they have for they 2 stroke turbos. So Im ironing out some details with them as to how many kits they are wanting made up. I already have a buddy interested as well when I was just going to be doing it for myself. On that note...

They still have the 998 in their 2025 line up, so we can all dream.

Where is the fun in that. Need to work on the next mod sled, and why not try it with the latest Cat chassis. Keep it stock looking, factory intakes, fuel tank,... just a sleeper until it starts up.

It will fit. If you compare the Ascender engine compartment to the Catalyst it similar in room. Catalyst has a better fuel tank design and intake design that compliments the 998. If the splines on the Catalyst upper belt drive gear are the same as the Ascender then there are already jack shafts...

Thanks. So about roughly 9lbs savings to go pull start if you toss in a light weight battery.

As long as you don't go with underglows or the RFL blowoff valve you are fine.

Not just for sleds but vehicles too. Everything got way to over priced during covid.

So anyone buying a current NA Doo or Polaris then. Thats a lot of people gargling.

I wonder how much the electric start system weighs on the new sled. Lightweight battery is cheap and easy, but more so the starter and added parts. This sled will also be for the wife and her pull starting it could be funny.

If they are pricing them at 24k they will have priced themselves out of the market. They need to be priced lower than the Doo 850NA and Poo 850 if they have any hope of getting back any market share. 20-21k for their M Mountain Cat with Atac would be acceptable, make their base model a few grand...

Haven't seen an exact number but I think on the Snowest pod cast they mentioned it being 3lbs lighter. Due to the way the engine mounts are built into the casting on the 858.

We know you gargle the Doo balls but come on, at least compare comparable sleds if you are going to crap on Cat. Similar snow, maybe, unless its in the same area on the same day we will never know. Similar hill? My Sidewinder can pull track speeds that the the turbo 2 stroke crowd just cant...

A lot of us haven't had a belt failure either. Get the tension set right and it will last with no issues. Ive known of 2 chain failures, one on a Sidewinder and one on a G4. Both had to be dragged off the mountain and a day of riding was lost to get the sleds down. Both have gone to belt...

Rather have the option to change a belt if needed then a tow or a heli ride out if a chain lets go.

Im just waiting to fine one with a blown engine or damaged. Summer project to have a 998 Catalyst to go with the new 858 Catalyst.

If you compare USD vs CDN pricing on current models they dont match with the current exchange rate, it is priced lower in Canada.

Oh ya, the turbo lag has to be bad. No matter what people say cause ive seen a few people on Instagram claim "instant response". Im calling bullcrap on that.

I have the Hellfire 9" wheels on my sled, good quality product. I think they have 10" ones now you could toss in there.

Needs to get his 4 years service in so he can have his cushy pension. Only reason he joined the Liberals and why he sucks Trudeaus cockadoodledoo.
