I sure do think these guys are full out it.... Sub-par testing, rushing product to market, outlandish claims, and $780 clutch kits that dont work. Even there sponsored riders are taking the clutching out of there boosts. Then they blame Polaris for a sled that runs better.... but its not there clutching....noooo.

Even in this video, he says that he didn't like the first clutch set up. But its already for sale... Will there now be a Gen2 helix and spring for sale for an additional $300 like the polaris kits... Sign me up. $1080 for some cluthcing... yes please.

Ok. Rant over. Good riders tho...

P.S. My SRP set up in the 2025 boost work perfect.

thats the real kicker. if it iwas a 20-21k sled then maybe. Just the $$ dont make sense.

If it was $17k for base $18k for mid and $19k for top trim model they woulda did better I think. That leaves room for the big if of a turbo model for $22-23k. Coulda priced into the market, all the leftovers for good prices right now will kill cat

I would think to try to find a buyer in today’s environment will be a challenge. Not like is a growing industry. Unfortunately all the dealers will have a product people will be hesitant to buy going forward.

Agreed. They have lost so much of their market share over the years and this was a year they could have bounced back some. Even without a turbo all they had to do was price their sled better the Doo and Poo. Base model 15k, top of the line model 20k. Would have been cheaper then their competitors, drawn people in to try it out that aren't die hard Cat fans and got more sleds out into the market.

I’m thinking when you are building units in far lower numbers than the competition it would cost more to produce. They may be forced to sell for that price because of the cost. We see it in all industries. The more you build the less $$$$ to produce. You are buying everything in bulk so you get a better deal.

Sounds like textron is getting ready to sell the Cat brand.
