2019 Release Conversation

Yep march 6 same day as yamaha

So looking like no factory turbo 2 stroke out of textron for 19. Shocked. Just a purple monorail abortion and flex track 2.0 gimmick..


Maybe Polaris will have a more exciting release.

Do you not think that monorail might work? For the true deep snow mountain sleds I'm thinking this might be an alright thing. I do agree that full purple is garbage. A factory pump gas 2 stroke turbo would sell a ton regardless of the brand if it came with warranty I'm also surprised one of them has not taken a stab at it. Maybe start like the yammies did with a specific kit on low boost?

I would hope it works if they are going to put it on a 15k sled. But what problem were they trying to solve with this thing?
Sled was too predictable before and nobody liked predictable?

Guys are locking out there T-motion because they are so squirrely, this thing is going to be squirrely as hell.

The shocks look vulnerable to me where there at too. How long is that track going to last ext?
Lots of questions.


Just not a big fan of the monorail. Who knows, maybe it will be the new rage in sledding? Time will tell.

Luckily they still make the mountain cat with the old skid in black.

I am not rushing out to buy the alpha right now, definitely need to throw a leg over one first.

The purple looks rad, just needs a cheetah print seat cover!

 

[pano-dude]

Funny all the negative comments on the purple but 99%of the wraps I see are as as bad or worse....

Re: 2019 release dates ??

2017 zr 800 had the Suzuki engine.

Here is the dyno chart for the 2018 vs the 2017.

The article said they were testing the 2018's I believe.

Hmm who knows then, my 800 etc made 163.3HP until 2017 then magically it started dynoing at 150 HP......

I sounds like it's retrofit-able to the 18' mountain cat.......don't you have one of those?

I do, probably fire sale that if I like this Alpha, as I imagine that skid is a pretty penny and requires different shocks.
But an interesting option non the less.

Trick will be finding one to ride before snowcheck season is over.

Best to just buy one. Just saying.

Your sales tactics are polished lol.

 

[T-team]

I'm sure this is common knowledge and stuff already or its posted in one of the million posts before this.. but how wide is the track?

I been looking for that info to. Looks narrow! Like 14” or less.

15" so it won't float as well as the doo. Lol
You snowchecking one?

Ill be snowchecking for sure. A 165 summit lol. Pretty wicked stuff cat is doing now though! I like the innovation. I always love it when someone goes way outside the norm like that because its always followed by a bunch of the same! 15 is good! for some reason that mono rail looked like it had a way smaller track! which wouldn't make sense because the tunnel is still the same.

Haha, Maxwell would probably kick you outta the squad if you showed up on a purple cat.

Yeah any kind of innovation is exciting, wether it be spot, belt drives or skids without torsion springs.
