New snowchecks already arriving!!!!

[Teth-Air]

Yes I am




I've tried them all, po po isn't for this guy, the kitty's there's just something about them that sucks ( loose steering ect) , nitros unless boosted are tanks and yawn

The viper I would love to try, don't no about them yet


I've owned lots of cats and po po in the older chassis , back in the day they where good, or as good as they could get


I can't ride a pro, at all

Hate the narrow boards, and the goofy steering, and the reliability is just not there

That's y I got a doo..... I'm just one guy, but if u look at the percentage of sleds on the hills, there's way more guys like me too

You can' ride a Pro because it is like a motocross bike and the doo is like a ATV. Yes the ATV will go some places a bike won't go but the reverse is also true. It takes more skill to ride the Pro but when you learn how to ride it, it is way more fun. I loved my doos too but they are simply ridden completely differently. There are way more guys who would pick an ATV over a bike as it is easier to ride, this is why you will always see more doos than poos.

New axis chassis.....you mean that new trail chassis?

That axys chassis is pretty neat, has lots of cool features in it, if that 800 ho is making the power it's claimed than that engine in a axys 174 3" from the factory will be a wicked sled for sure! The pro chassis is like a knife going through the pow. Now the XM with its narrow stance and wide panels is not as efficient, which is quite evident on my side panel foam that the primary likes to hit when side hilling.

As far as this can argument goes it's not just the can that will be changed, the pipe was differant on the prototype as well. Good for the can builders but was hoping that new doo can would be a winner. Poo can get their lightweight can to market why can't poo?
I believe it's because of cost, why make two exhaust systems when one is cheaper, they decided to stick with the old one I guess.

Who cares about a Cat or a Pro? Not me, thats why I ordered a T3. I don't think it has even been shipped. I hope it shows up in November...

And sadder yet is people (like you) who actually believe everything that BRP says is gospel.....like "hey, mr customer, come on and test drive these sleds and if you like them go to your dealer and snocheck a 2015 sled with these new options" (lightweight, great sounding exhaust, ported lightweight track, and all those other "game changing features", etc.....) and you do.....but then months later they say to you...."oops, sorry (sucker), those were prototypes not what we are actually giving you guys...lol"......and people (like you) actually believe its all ok....................
you believe that sh!t..... Hve another sip of doo-juice.....lol



At least my snocheck will be exactly like I ordered and if its like my 13 & 14 was, it also will perform awesomelike "out of the box" with no changes needed.....

One day you will accept my offer and ride with us for a weekend and in three days I am sure you will be pounding back the doolaid with the rest of your relatives wondering how you ever believed in cat!!!

 

[scrfce]

Also not a Fan of the Sno Pro 2piece tunnel design, my friend Kalon broke his in half jumping with his 20L jerry can strapped on the back...lol Not the smartest plan, but you can jump all day on the Doo with out taking off the links jerry can, that doo designed to not bend the tunnel. Hardly ever need the Jerry can with the Etec any ways. With the Cat, you ALWAYS need that 20L and you still will run out of gas before a Doo with no jerry can.

Now flip side... Thats one of the things i like about the cat over the other sleds. Came down hard on the back of the tunnel/bumper on my m8 years ago and it split and tweaked the 2nd portion of it.
Instead of a costly teardown and tunnel replacement it was $150ish (i think) replacement of the riveted 2nd piece. Ying and yang

lol...Hey, Steve & I are looking forward to it (riding with you)....but you guys got me all wrong....I am not at all saying that Ski-Do makes a bad machine....its a great sled....but, so is my Cat! Contrary to what some of you wish to believe is Cat makes a damn good machine.....take off the doogles and take a good look.
Just because there are only minor changes in the mountain chassis of 2015 Cats vs the 2014's....so what? The 2014 was an awesome sled! There have been years where BRP made little or no changes in new models.

 

[CUSO]

One thing I can say that is good about the cats:

The goggle warmers are warm.

Presently there are no bad sleds, if you have issues with covering vast areas of the big hills it is not the fault of what is under a person's azz. I have ridden cats and when I had my 06 and hopped on Matt's M7 the handling was better than the doo. The last cat I rode was a 2010 and it also laid over more consistantly than my 09 doo. The 14 doo is the first doo that now handles as wellas my 02 for carving.

Cory sent me some pictures from the wedding of the cake cutting, congrat to the young couple.
Strange how time passes so quickly.

Can work out to your advantage some time too forsure.

Why do you say that?

[T-team]

Maxwell, there's a lot more to a machine than a 3" track. The Pro has been the top mountain sled for over three years running. The XM is a great sled (I truly love the ETEC). However, the Pro chassis has proven to be the most nimble, predictable chassis on the snow, bar none. It's only your constant OD's on Doolaid that make you believe otherwise. Cut your Doolaide consumption in half and you'll realize how close the Pro and XM are. Also, remember that your a young guy. The extra 50+ lbs of the XM is a little more than I want to fight with every ride.

I hate getting invloved in these conversations but this bothers me... personal opinions should not be confused with facts and numbers.....

The Pro has been the top mountain sled for over three years running.
Says who?? The market would say otherwise......
The +50 LBS? they are about 10lbs apart when they are ready to ride.... And the day you can ride one and jump on the other and tell me which weighs ten pounds more....... Give me a break. Pro is a good sled... But dont just spout off that one has been number one for the last three years without some facts.

 

[Vance Matheson]

I have to agree with t-team...I rode both and and the summit felt as light as the pro.
What I will add is the summit is a little harder to push around when really stuck.
But who cares really, i enjoyed the two sleds. Bring on the snow!!!
