Heard from a fairly reliable source cat will have a new motor next year


Sent from my iPhone because I'm sledding or to lazy to get off the couch

Im hoping skidoo steps it up a bit. Alot of easy weight for them to lose. More efficient driveline...lighter primary, belt drive. Rear suspension with no torsion springs. Lighter intake system (hood is 18lbs!). I think they have a lot of easy weight they could shed if they wanted to. Be interesting to try an even narrower stance and higher CofG on the mountain sleds. More hp would be nice but not necessary if they lightened things up.

Honda is finally getting in to the sled market for 2017. It will be using a modified Type RA615H formula 1 engine. They expect it will weigh less than the Yamaha line of snowmobiles.

I'm willing to bet Ski Doo will have a new sled, Cat will have a new motor and Polaris will make a flux capacitor that will retro fit on all their previous models to take them back to the future so they might be a bit more reliable.

The flux capacitor will run on blown pistons.

I think all the major manufacturers should build a machine for the kids too big for 120's there the future.

BRP will have a revised 600 possibly year that will make it's way into a 800. Next gen of Etec.

Doo also has some interesting clutch patents floating around.

Gut feeling says Yamaha is on the verge of releasing of something.

I heard the manufacturers are taking a year off so the dealers have a chance to clear out all the non current stock after another poor snow year.

Why'd you bump a 3 month old thread to post the same thing that's in at least two other threads?
