The Renegades are awesome and better yet, it's not a cat.

If you go with the crossfire you get 141 x 1.5 track on the snopro, telescope handlebars, and fox float shocks.

If your thinking 2010 model, then the new Cat 800CF should be crazy powerful. In the end I think the only real way to tell what will suit you best is a test ride.

What ZRrrrr is trying to say is that "if you buy the Doo you will be really dissapointed. When all yur friends with the Crossfires spank yur yellow belly carcus you might have wished you had gone with the Crossfire" this is just what I read from ZRrrr's post? I might be wrong? LOL :d:d:d :beer::beer:

You are a VERY WISE MAN Scott!!!

Fact he's even looking into Cat means Doo has disappointed him....Probably over and over and over. Nuff said. :d

Odd to find two people with such similar brain damage in such close proximity to each other........Sorry for hijacking your thread.

They are both pretty good sleds, I prefer the higher seat on the Doo but that telescoping handlebar and the float shocks are cool.

Brain damage? What Brain damage? Did you say something? Who's there... were am I?? I think I smell glue?? Who opened the glue bottle??

Anyhow RZRGade... In my opinion you have probably narrowed it down to the two best crossover sleds. I'd go with the 800 mill as well if I was in the market, just go with what you think will be best for you. Both machines are awesome. I ride with alot of Crossfires, 7's and 1000's, and they have been bulletproof so far. The rider position on the xp is probably better as it is more rider forward. Happy shopping :)

mxz sledhead is pro doo, for too many years, he loves riding my crossfire.
Dealers can change, their is good and bad with all brands.
I say cat, but buy what you like best.

P.S. it's faster than his doo.
