That pricing is from Dons Speed parts, buddy had a deposit for myself and him. They had 8 deposits total and both of us are getting ours back. Not looking good for Cat to claw back into this snowmobile game.
Two of my buddys pulled there back from dons today to once they got the call cat must not want to sell sleds

So is this a scarcity ploy to suck people in and then have the snowcheck information on the website after? Or another model release coming?

Early snow check then regular snow check in March? Seems weird to me.

If I recall, the MSRP on the 24 Mountain cat started at 20k + fees and taxes. I'm surprised the 858 isn't more in line with the Polaris 9r.

I really don’t understand the price point of the 900 over the Polaris 850. Either. I get that here was some engineering and upgraded parts but it should be like 2500 more than an 850.
I get the associated costs on the boost though over the n/a

You need to price in the Burandt factor. He hyped the ch!t out of those things for years before they dropped an official 9r. They saw an opportunity, and took it.

Given the leftover 23s going for a huge discount, it's cleae there's a decent profit margin in there for Polaris corporate.

i cant WAIT to put my 26 grand against your 26 grand in 4 feet of snow next season LMAO.
Here's hoping for 4 feet in Alberta next season. And back to records in BC.

We topped out at about 4 inches here in Cold Lake before this thaw hit, and that's 4 inches like a wind blown 4.

Why does the gauge need cell service to work in Canada? I swear the reason Polaris is selling mountain sleds is that damn 7s gauge, its awesome and the reason its awesome is you don't need cell service!

They want $2000 for the gauge and molded hood to accept the gauge, really want this sled but there are some things I am having a hard time looking past. Need to get on one and try it.

Anyone catch that the Hardcore running boards are a 4lbs weight savings (according to their website).

The Hardcore Running Boards are aluminum-tube running boards that offer aggressive grip traction, increased stiffness & a 4-lb weight reduction. The durable, factory-matched powder-coat finish for a custom look. Note: Right-Hand and Left-Hand Side boards, hardware & instructions are included.

Interesting that they don't offer the rail brace like on the outgoing model.

Did the rails change, or did the web team drop the ball?

Hahaha, how the hell they came up with those numbers, I have a bin here full of aluminum with about 20 Pro-climb and Ascender take off boards from conversions. Between the two sides they weigh less then 4lbs. I weigh one once to compare to our CR boards and I think it was less then 2lbs for the one.
Arctic Cat sales department must be taking the same approach as Skidoo, hook, line and sinker.
Maybe the boards are optional on Cats now, thus the 4lbs saving. LOL interesting
