Ordered a 25 858 with the G8. Excited to ride it. Made sure to get the hardcore running boards

[@CalgaryDynastar]

What’s all in price out of curiosity??

[@EliteTriple]

i preordered the ZR 858 with the g8 23k after tax@@CalgaryDynastar

[@CalgaryDynastar]

Hot damn those things are pricey, I built one up on the website as I would want it and it was just under 26k pre tax, pdi etc 😳

[@the_207_life]

@@CalgaryDynastar ordered the base alpha 154. Sled itself was 16,5 OTD. added premium G8, evo bumpers, and hardcore boards. Total was 19k OTD

[@CalgaryDynastar]

@@the_207_life I assume that’s USD??

I have never been much of a fan of cats but seeing and sitting on one of these makes me want one

[@ADDvanced]

Thank you for the BRP Lynx comment about changing your mind. After watching BRP dominate the industry pretty hard for the past 10 years, the popularity of Doos made me question if Cat is be around in the future. I want them to be, but here in Wisco it feels like 50% of new sleds are BRP. My procross trail sleds have all been decent, but yeah if they get stuck they're heavy pigs, and removing the hood is annoying, so it's nice to see they've pushed everywhere. My main complaint about procross is just the mass, and all those small changes like composite running boards sound like they add up. Excited to try one! Thanks for the review and insights, cheers!

Thanks for the review! keep it up man.

[@tiggerthecat7271]

awesome vid, I own a catalyst myself love to see the vids of them.

[@Just3adventures]

We have the catalyst 146 it’s definitely a fun sled

[@joshgessinger4509]

Im not a mountain rider iv rode in the rockies and can do it well. But i live in upstate NY our mountains t really tight with trees. When we get enough snow i do love to boondock but we don’t have that kind of snow all the time. I live in the valley with big open farm fields not flat but hilly power lines some fun stuff when we have enough snow. My father has the catalyst 600 its cool seats a little hard for trail and suspension valving is stiff. I raced cats SX and pro XC 15 years many wins championships. Do all my own mechanical work including suspension. Catalyst with Atak i can hit the nastiest trail wide open on the soft suspension and im 6’3 270lb now. Feel i could take catalyst to a pro XC race and would work perfectly on soft lol!! If cat gets the valving correctly i feel it would just make the catalyst better yet. Im thinking about a 858 riot because i do love riding powder when we get it but also want to trail ride of course. Now that im getting my life back together after a crappy 10 year battle with everything from health to finances want to head west again once or twice a year maybe. I watch most ur videos and respect ur opinions or evaluations. Would love to see u on a riot and give us ur opinion on it. As always great stuff appreciate the feedback on the catalyst Thank u.

[@CraigVanSickleAK]

Great review! I haven't owned a Cat in a long time but am interested in the Catalyst. The tube frame/heat exchanger/tunnel design looks great. If the 858 works out well and they make a twin rail mountain sled I'll bite.

[@BrettMcNary]

people keep saying that....why are you stuck on 50 yo tech? Alpha rail is great

[@troyroquette261]

Was thinking about a new cat too. But can't wait to see the doo triple in motion 👍

[@GreatLakesLogger]

Dammit! I want so bad to see you on a lynx! Those things just intrigue me! I will say, Cat definitely made huge strides with this sled though. We'll see if the 858 hype is real, and if cat stays on top of things

[@sneezinhatch]

Lynx is great good all around sled deep snow hard pack it just floats, very nimble sucks all the snow is gone

[@BecksElevatedOutdoorAdventures]

I wish I had seen this video before placing my order for the 858 Mountain Cat 154' 2.6. I chose not to upgrade for the $600 running boards. Now seeing how it was collecting for you on the 600, I may regret that choice.

[@MrVincehannah]

The more details about the alpha track swap you’re willing to share, the more appreciative I’ll be. Gonna have to swap in the off season, got a used 2020, track was too tight and is missing a few 3” paddles. Plan to use upgraded track and drivers, but I’m already nervous about doing it myself…probably not that difficult.

[@jonatansvensson8887]

I have a 20’ alpha and i recently switched to the ”next gen” 3 inch track and its a banger. Ive hit it on a few logs and rocks and the lugs are still solid. Also i felt that it had a bit more grip than the old track, could be it being more stiff also.

[@MrVincehannah]

Though I have to keep in mind that I unfortunately will see more trail snow than mountain snow…not sure if there would be much difference between a new 2.6 vs new 3

[@averykienbaum2904]

The 146" you rode! Isn't the same track as what u just slapped on ur turbo. The 146" is only the finger track which I loveeee on my catalyst, can't wait to get it back. Been a month waiting for my motor to be rebuilt lol, can't wait to hear Abt the turbo! You doin a 858?

[@anthonymeyer183]

Great review

[@camaro69green31]

2 Questions: What elevation were you riding at mostly? And what did you think of the belt drive? sound ok? Noisy? Cool? Nice review, cheers.

[@truecrimeyo]

600's pack alot nowadays, ive riden 670 alot and those injection 600 are monster. the only downside is at 60

[@eltonwhite8490]

We got zero snow and just bought a VR1 850

[@garysmith643]

Anyone know if the c tec 2 has any design changes . Thanks

[@RaspyBootLegger]

The M7 is just a parts sled? I thought it only needed a new diamond drive!

[@Inlandprowash1]

I’d didn’t seem like the 600 was revving out correctly on your test ride. Shouldn’t they turn 8500 ish RPM?

[@ericbittner5634]

So what track length u ordering

[@charlesmcdonald5465]

So did you order one then? If so what flavor?

[@Easycash2.11]

Were the demos 2.6” or 3” tracks

[@askmeaboutarcticcats]

Ordering a 858 then?
