2025 Arctic Cat 858 - N/A and turbo testing

[dragonweld28]

If the weather holds up and we continue to get some snow, I should have the 858 for the vintage ride in Mcbride. Will be testing N/A clutching and a few other improvements. Then going to install a silber turbo and test at 7psi.

Time will tell. On paper it should. The Gen 5 turbo R with clutching and tuning is fast too. Ill be testing the Shredder on a Big tune (20hp on 50% Av and 94) this season to see how it performs as well. At that power level i think the Doo will be faster... see how it goes.

Easy there Muffinman, this 858 hasn't even seen the snow yet. And its about 8 years behind the competition.

Our results were not the same. The 9r is 20 lbs lighter. With both sleds with empty fuel tanks.

With Arctic Cat’s factory shutdown, will any replacement parts be available for the limited number of 858’s built . Not as many dealers around either.

There’s other threads for that crazy talk, try to keep this one related to the performance of the 858 if we can.

Boy was at Frisby on his new 858 this weekend. Pretty happy. Still in break in so really rich but likes it so far.

Shout out to Jerry and crew @ Central Sled in Wetaskiwin took delivery of the Catalyst. He did a through walk through of the machine and had it prepped the way I would have done it. The sled runs great, nice and snappy with good power and still in break in. It will just get better from here. This is going to be a fun sled!
