Shootout#2!!!! 2017 Ski-Doo 165 Summit 850 vs. 2018 Arctic Cat-162 Mountain Cat M8000

[Lund]

.....this is the game changing part of the track....you fool

I'm thinking if your more of a geek over hands on this is very impressive and a great feature, even game changing LOL.
174x16 has approx. 1392" of riding surface.
174x15 has approx. 1305" of riding surface.
But in a real life practical way, those pictures say it all, 16" wide tracks have ZERO advantage other then its another tool that the sell's man use to sell the sled and can actually say "We have the biggest track in the industry".......I say yes you do, to bad you don't know how to use it.

it has no advantage for old nitro riding goofs like you touring around. But there is no comparison to a 16" wide track where it matters, steep,deep,thick bush.

I thought the comparison was very fair. But let see how the production cats run, cause it seems the prototype G4s were better.

 

[Panzerdog]

These are production cats they are not prototype sleds

That seems to be just a BRP thing, trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the customer, prototype g4's were like that, them saying the 800 etec was way more powerful than it actually was for years, running a "hotter" Ecu on pre production models is also something Ive heard plenty over the 6 years of the 800 etec, cat and polaris seem to shoot a little straighter than them crooks from BRP

The production models will be 12 lbs lighter and 6 pounds of that is roatating mass. AC has been playing catch up for a few years now but have stayed the course, there changes improve the sled and stay reliable. I am not saying the 18 sleds are world beaters but they are as good or better than any other manufacture has to offer.

[Panzerdog]

He's right all good sleds if you think about it and this guy would embarrass you so stop stirring the pot or come to cranbrook and have Shawn destroy you on a short track

I think the main thing everyone should take from this video is Cat is for SURE back in the game! that thing is a powerhouse there is no denying that! Im glad! And everyone else should be too! For so many years now its been TWO brands competing for king of the hill for two stroke sleds... Now there is three.... Watch what happens to innovations now.. Things are going to happen much faster.

 

[jpmez69]

U still coming back to S & M? Any more EPIC vids of u for all of us to be wowed by?

they are all awesome. but some are awesomer than others

 

[jhurkot]

When does the patent expire on a 16" wide track? Soon I hope...

 

[Got boost want snow]

So long as they out live the 850 and already proven in the video to out pull the 850, so should make all manufacturers work harder to come out with better junk!!!
