G4 approach angle

[Cableguy]

^^^^hows the rolling resistance with that setup ^^^^

Kenny. I put a T3 174 in my 18 G4. Big drivers

Why???? Bad track???

 

[Teth-Air]

and what problem is that?
The sled handles well has good power and flat out works. Low approach angles have their own problems. probably outweigh the problems of a higher attack angle..

Handling and power have nothing to do with attack angle. Once you ride a sled that has a gentle attack angle you notice right away that it gets on top the snow so much better without needing power to do so. I understand that a steep angle allows for the track to contact farther forward and that can take weight off the skis and put more track on the ground so if these are your goals, great. Cat has accomplished the best of both worlds and Skidoo could too.

What problems are there with a gentle approach angle?

Only drawback is usually the drivers are lower and subject to hitting more rocks/stumps ....ending your day.

Cat has 8 tooths with a drop and roll for 3 years now. No issues yet that I know of.

ski pressure. Not good for technical riding. fantastic for climbing. but you knew that lol

 

[maxwell]

it should annihilate it in a climb with a better approach angle. yep! good job bill nye


it wont have any ski pressure. i will quite enjoy it

you dont ride much do you LOLOLOL

 

[snochuk]

Eat sheet Dikwell. That's incorrect information. Cats approach angle is the lowest of all sleds and it absolutely annihilates any size track 850 Doo. Not good for technical? Fk your dumb.
How's the ski pressure on that useless 850 154 you bought?rotflmao

WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR
Relax its called..............jealousy

Your right. I shoulda known better. Waste of brain space. Thx.

Aside from your guys little war does the steeper angle not make initiating side hill or turns easier?
You will plough more and trench more on takeoff but forces track to dig deeper keeping you into the hill deeper.

Shallow attach angle will just require you to position feet a bit further back and a couple air shock adjustments.
Weight boards a bit further back to help the shallow angle dig in.
The shallow angle should have a wee advantage other areas.

Carry on with the G4 war.
lol

Stick a K-mod under it, and your attack angle problems are solved. Not to mention with the coupling design you can switch it up for whatever terrain you're riding.

You will be amazed how well the cat sidehills.

Doesn't wash out at all.

 

[skegpro]

I am not a suspension scientist but.

Ski pressure is a function of the weight that the center shock carries.

Ski lift is a combo of things but on the doo it's seem that the rear shock collapses easily.

Good cause my 850 washed out pretty easy.
Riding partner has my 850 so it will be easy to compare.

 

[catrutt]

Has any one tried a 850 with a 2.5 track?

 

[maxwell]

Has any one tried a 850 with a 2.5 track?

i purchased one this year. ill let you know.

Wht would you !!!!

 

[kanedog]

Wht would you !!!!

That's what I thought but what I said in my mind was much much meaner. It rhymed with dumb cluck.

 

[mountainsledmania]

Wht would you !!!!

Track speed buddayy.
