The Top- 1. 0 Things to Know About the 2. Arctic Cat Snowmobiles taperk. PMThanks for the cliff- notes John. Look forward to your review on the 4. RR.. Todd Ulschmid says: 2/1. PMNice refinements. Continuous improvement. Great move with the ZR4. Adam Woldanski says: 2/1. AMThe ZR 4. 00. 0 does have reverse. John Sandberg says: 2/1. AMAs Adam replied, yes the ZR 4.
LXR has (mechanical) reverse, not engine reverse. The ZR 4. 00. 0 RR does not have reverse. Ryan Teach says: 2/1. AMTwo things. However, I am not disappointed with the lack of the 8. DI motor considering the amount of time that was obviously spent on the successful 6. Ctec. I dont think its as simple as we assume to tool an 8. What is the emissions time line on the HO? Hello from the outside: for Keta Gutmane, their latest SS16 collection is all about observation. Observation for the label creates a. New for this year is a light weight hood kit for the Ski Doo XM/XS models. This hood weighs in at 3.25 lbs complete with. From what I can see the 2. RR has the exact same graphics as the non production 6. I am wrong). I think the 4. My only gripe (small) is that I wished for an LED light kit (similar to Doo) for the Pro. Cross. I think it is just a matter of time before we see someone run with LEDs on a sled similar to the styling and function of the auto industry sparked by Audi. The 2. 01. 2 - 2. I was hoping to see that addressed further this year. I don't think the 2. The new gearing robs a lot of top speed. My buddies 2. 01. F8 lxr is the slowest 8. What are they using the new engine building facility in Saint Cloud for? Why not expand the C- TECH2 motors to a 5. That is very confusing and tells me they must not be totally confident with C- Tech. Cat dropped the ball of yarn on this release. Derek Elias says: 2/1. AMHey folks, remember this: . AC did what they thought was best for their business. Sure it will piss some people off for not getting what they want. With the 2. 01. 5 improvements over the entire line up is what I am happy about. It comes down to what is forecasted within the snowmobile industry interms of the right product, improvements/refinements, new tech sleds, etc. Is the 5. 70 fan cooled sled still in or did it get replaced by the Yammi Phazer engine? Only real upgrade is the new driven shaft. Other than that, graphics, shock calibration, and renaming the snopro 5. I guess the protour chassis is new (?) for those who 2- up. I mean come on what is cat doing, they announce a few years ago they will be done with suzuki in 2. To me that it shows a total lack of competence. My dad has been cat his whole life until last year he had to break down and by a polaris. They expect me to spend 3,0. I can get beat buy a POO that cost it's owner $3,0. What are they smoking in TRF! Jim. R says: 2/1. AMLove the new sleds but something is missing. The price point base model 6. How bout at the very least a 6. How bout Ryde FX shocks to lower the price even more. Would sell a ton and could get it at around 9,0. Get them to make this sled. In green and ORANGE PLEASE! John Sandberg says: 2/1. AMThis post will address the . I too want new engines, improvements in weight, handling and quality, etc.. Part of the reason is there are simply so many models in a line- up (when you add up all the various packages, colors, track lengths and overseas machines, Arctic Cat has more than 1. Plus a pile of detail improvements. For a guy who wanted a 6. Same for the guy who wanted a 1. It always does, and it's always followed by a year or so of the company catching its breath. I find it excellent when the manufacturer refines and improves their existing designs to make them better off the showroom floor; and new isn't always better. The Polaris IQ is still a great snocross chassis and Polaris has used that for 1. It gets the consumers excited but I don't know when we get a new machine if we always get a . I'd rather see them refine the design and keep the price down. MSRP on the new 9. RR is over 1. 6 grand, that doesn't make any of the new sleds that appetizing to me. I want all this new technology, every year, at a cheaper sticker price, too! And I'm no rocket- surgeon, but the fact that Cat released the ZR 4. Pro. Cross chassis means they're planning on that engine being around for a few years at least. Shootouts like the Am. Snow event are not something I put a ton of faith in, simply because it doesn't translate into my enjoyment of a sled/engine. Sure it's great for bragging rights, but it has ZERO impact or meaning on the 1. I hope to enjoy this evening with my son. I love it except, now having ridden the 6. C- TEC2, I want the 8. I don't need/want more horsepower, 1. If the Indy 8. 00 beats me across the lake, it's not going to ruin my day. We almost NEVER race each other. I know some people do this, but I'm not one of them. And for sure there have been a few disappointments in this category the past few years. I myself haven't experienced them, but I'm very aware that some of you have. Both had already received OE updates. Engines blowing at 3,0. I do believe all brands suffer from their own issues. Otherwise we're (justifiably) going to be upset. This is usually a love fest of the product so maybe this has been festering for a while. As John pointed out ALL the brands have problems. It is our choice as consumers how we spend our money so the bottom line is if your not happy and don't see what you want here you may have to shop else where. I have an F8 but I bought my wife a MXZ TNT 6. ETEC this season because it was a better sled for her ( she was riding a F8 LXR ) and she loves it. We have four quality brands to pick from, find one you like and go riding. I have also blown 5 right side head light bulbs, had to have my reeds replaced because they were shot, had my voltage regulator replaced to try and correct the headlight problem, my gauge replaced to try and correct the headlight problem and had my ECU re- flashed to correct a low idle and hard starting problem. The pull cord also snapped and left me stranded this season and it just seems like it's one thing after the next. I am also still waiting for my big fin clutch and belt guard update I ordered back in December. Not very good in the ? Sorry if I am not in a big hurry to run out and buy another sled that is mostly unchanged from the one I bought back in 2. At least something that lets us know they realize there is a problem and they are working on it. Paul Hein says: 2/1. PMNew sleds are kinda what I felt would happen. Heard a rumor abut C- Tec 5. A new 5. 00 with power valves and 1. I can't prove it but it sure seems that way especially on HCS. They all have their issues. And if the other brands are so fast why don't they win many races ? I dont know of one that hasn't had issues. In Doos time off of big new tech and toys they stil brought out a new motor or suspension and Poo a new chassis and belt drive. I get the feeling that most on here are loyalist to a fault. I'm loyal but am real but won't be critical when I see a ball dropped. How is it that they can get a lighter better fit and finish our cats own chassis. It's like they want to pat themselves on the back for the Ctec. This sport is about innovation. Think the Rev or Pro- ride. Ideas that took major b*lls to bring out. Lead not bleed Lucas says: 2/1. PMTRF has the most loyal customer base of all brands in my opinion they can sell chicken sh*t and call it chicken salad and we'd buy. I'll go for the Sno Pro 5. Speedwerx or D& D Racing Rusty says: 2/1. PMJohn, one question on the ZR4. Or that POS that's on all the other ZR's? This line up is both expensive and misses the mark IMO. Ski Doo and Polaris offer 6. Gs. No more Cats for me thanks its been an experience. Arctic Cat is losing customers! If they are okay with that then that's fine. But I don't think marketing people at Cat would agree with that. And I've ridden the AC 6. Friends of mine had put a few hundred miles on it and liked it better than a new Polaris 6. PRO R when rode back to back. But I'm not going to spend 1. AC has come up with a bag of oil to pour easier, really. Or how about the dealer telling a friend of mine to change the belt on the new procross chassis you need to pull the clutch off, ridicules! The switches are dated and don't function very well, the reverse button you almost need to take your glove off to get to work. And when the procross first came out, I saw them at the show and there is this big hole in front of the steering post. They eventually came up with a screen to cover the hole in the fall and now have added a glove type box to the higher end models. But the point is I would think the engineers could have this designed and figured out before the sled was finished. And why not supply the glove box on all sleds, that screen looks stupid. The Rmotion is definitely the best out there, even friends of mine that ride new Polaris Pro R's will admit that. Part of the reason is there are simply so many models in a line- up (when you add up all the various packages, colors, track lengths and overseas machines, Arctic Cat has more than 1. This is closed many small dealers including the local one that my whole family purchased from. I have two brothers and father that all used to ride cat, not anymore. The cat dealer I was at in Feb. Who's making these decisions to make all these models, they don't need all these. I would really like to know how many individuals spring order a M7. When this was first announced that it was coming to an end I was cautiously optimistic knowing that Cat would have their work cut out to develop all these motors in 3- 5 years. I've read Greg Spaulding interviews in the past stating he is working on 3- 4 new motors at any given time and I believe he was talking about 2- stroke or 4- stroke not combined. Understandably not all prototype motors make it to production but Cat has only released 1 new motor in last 6- 7 years. And you can't count the Yamaha motor, that's an excuse. So this is my point to the incompetence comment. They've been playing catch up since the end of the firecat era. They are losing customers. I can't think of one person that has bought a new Cat for the first time in the last 5 years coming from a different brand.
