Pretty impressive.....for a little 800

Not bad at all

Is it hitting the drivers? Looks like it needs to be trimmed and an anti stab kit.

Suppose to look like this stock sample.

Ouch!! How much is missing? It looks too close to the drivers in the broken picture!

Ouch! That looks like a hit.. What else would cause that? Poor weld maybe?

Ride report on the Alpha???

Not yet only first day but it does work very well.
Very lititle rder input required.
Sled and I only departed twice today.
Both shoulders pretty sore so pulls pretty good.
Did about 95 km on chappel run.
Slightly harsh break in.
See what tomorrow brings.
Full report and comparison with the Doos Monday.

I didn’t say you are brand bashing, All I said I’m interested in what caused the break be it a defect or not.

Had to have hit something. Stuff like that doesn't just break (on any brand of sled).... Lots of guys "never hit anything" but yet their sleds are trashed after a year or 2 ...

My favorite one was " My rails are bent and this should be warranty! I don't jump my sled!" So then an employee pulls up his name on Facebook and his profile picture is him about 8ft in the air straight up and down. Told him we saw the pic on Facebook and instantly he says he'll pay. People will always deny until they are caught lying.

It looks like the rail bottomed out on to the stopper's too harshly. Maybe not enough or any pressure in the front float.
It would had been interesting to see a pic of the A-arm. Bet it impacted it hard.

......,.....always a story

I'll start off by saying I'm not a Cat Loyalist, ride an Axys. But why can't people be happy with new tech? It makes all the other brands pull up their socks. I hope the Alpha is a hit, I Hope the Poo 850 proves to be good, I hope the Doos aren't eating belts. If you bleed a color good for you. But if the Alpha works good I might go that way next year.

They are all working this year.
And all perform exceptionally close.

Talked to my friend last night that just put 2 days on his alpha, he said it works extremely well.
