Been riding cat since 2010... just snow checked a 2022 matrix khaos 155 3”.. I’m really excited for this snowmobile. I kinda feel like I’m turning a new chapter in my life I’ve been riding cat for so long lol but unfortunately they aren’t doing enough to keep their customers coming back.
After riding Cats since the 90's I ended up snow checking a new Indy Matrix. Never thought I would switch brands but after waiting two years and just wanted some updated technology had to try a different brand. Either way all the manufacturers do make a good product just depends on what you want.
Imagine paying 22-25k for a boosted sled that potentially doesn’t deliver until January of next year and who’s naturally aspirated engines popped like pop corn without any boost 😂
Matt H Will be interesting to see for sure! I’m not necessarily happy about what cat put on the table this year but personally I’d rather keep waiting for something durable/reliable than spend big bucks on something that potentially might not be
When you look at value , I think AC does a better job then all . in US, right from website , as an example, who else is offering a 154 , 165hp class MT Snowmobile , with nice graphics , QS3 shocks, and 2 Year Warrenty , for 14,575?
Cat really shit the bed this year! It's their 60th anniversary and all they have is new stickers. That's sad. The could have at least updated the plastics and updated that ancient gauge they have. This was there year to shine and they really did nothing. I like cat sleds but I'm going to be shopping other brands now. Cat lost me as a customer for the time being.
I agree. It’s sad to see cat go downhill like this. It’s time for a new chassis. Or an 850. Something new. I’m much more impressed with the Polaris’ this year
Same, I bought my cat because it was nicely discounted in 2017 and I do like it. But I’m not going to buy essentially the same sled 4 years later for thousands more. Now that prices are close I am looking at Polaris a little harder.
Sooner cat folds the better, I getting really tired of explaining to my customers why 90% of parts for NEW SLEDS are backordered from may till november and good luck finding parts for anything older than 2012. Doesnt really help that they take 9 fucking days just to process an order and take 5 more days to ship it, sooner they fold the better
I got the email and watched the release. I started on my phone but you couldn't see anything they would talk about, switched to laptop and it was much better. As for quality of the actual video it looked Ike it was a 10 year old filming and controlling their audio which was in and out all over the place. Just not well thought out or planned by the looks of it. I think everyone is bitching so much about cat because ski doo and polaris went so big this year and really stood out in comparison. Cat didn't even really cover all their sleds either just focused on the blast riot mountain and thunder Cat. Nothing on the other models. They then just talked about the black cats and people involved with cat in general. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple years. Either way everyone is moving forward and developing new technologies! Get out and ride whatever you want!! Enjoy it thats what it's all meant for!!
All you guys should watch the interview with Gunnar Kleveland and Troy Halvorson, sounds like they have big things planned for AC in the coming years. To the guys bitching, this is a step in the right direction to making AC profitable again, better to have some AC than seeing them going broke...
Not to impressed for their 60th,but think about this...the m7 was speculated to be an underdog,look how that turned out.i still ride one today and stay right with or ahead of stock 800s on the mountain.and go anywhere they go,along with the 850s
I ride with a kid on an m6. When it gets technical that chassis gets much harder to ride. Let him rip my pro and he's laying it over not expecting it to turn so easy. It's crazy how much less effort it takes to ride the newer designs.
@@leftyeh6495 i ride the m series very easy,with minimal effort.but im not trying muscle the sled allover.rider technique and using the sled to do all the work.ive had plenty of newer sleds.yeah easier but not worth 15grand to me.the big spending days are over for me.
Dude you should start a go fund me to buy the arctic cat sled of your choice, I would throw you a couple of bucks your way to watch you ride it and hear your comments.
AC reveal was abit dissapointing.. Just the bad production of the stream compared to all other brands.. I understand the hate AC gets for not comming with something inovating, but then again.. the sleds are good, the engine can compete even if its a 800. But i hope they feel the pressure now and do something next year. 900 og 800 turbo that will kick ass against the poo and doodoo.. :)
@@BeyondResolution I'm sure if Textron gets head outta ass and listen to the people and Arctic cat with the money say they have well nothing should beat them
Did arctic cat just try to commit suicide? Years ago they may have pushed the boundaries but not anymore!!!, keep this up and they will be pushing sod. Rip 🪦 Very very disappointed. Switching brands I guess
@@1984TarpeN yeah well gotta look at it as they are improving upon a good sled and waiting until they have a good bigger better final product or better motor, and I’m cool waitin for that.
I still think they're the best looking sleds on the snow, but they haven't raised ANY bars in a really long time.
"We didn't even get to our beer what happened!?" hahahaha. Man that orange Alpha sure is gorgeous

Seems like cat is bringing a butter knife to a machine gun fight this year
Haha they can still compete man its not that bad.

I mean , its all about personal preference.

@@ben_syxxes8179 it will be really interesting to see how boosted 850s hold up. I'm guessing not well

No one got the email, couldn't log in with existing account. Registered with a new one, chat didnt work, voting didnt work. RIP Arctic Cat.
If you go on the main page of the cat website and scroll down there’s a complete page for the new Adapt clutches with a bit more info
There is like no info on anything they put out. Looks like I'll be switching brands next year real disappointing 😞
This was an embarrassing release for Arctic Cat. Polaris and Ski-doo are the front runners now.
Have been for decade
did brp change anything? didnt see anything new on their release video.
@@martinisraelsson564 Mach Z, fancy new suspension that’s constantly resetting, 130hp turbo 4 stroke and 180hp turbo available in multiple variants.
@@ianstuart7395 Hahah yeah, forgot that one, who on earth would buy that :')
@@martinisraelsson564 Trail riders by me have already bought them out. MN and WI. Yes crazy!

I really thought they would release ONE special model for their 60th but instead celebrated much like Yamaha did for their 50th w/ BNG!!!
they got fucked because they were sued by skidoo last year they are broke right now, doesn't matter tho, they dogshit sleds
What a downer for cat.
Hey I got a 03 ZR 900 so it would be cool to see them bring the 900’s back
I would have been impressed if you shot gunned that beer at the end.
Long time Cat guy jumping ship. Way to shit the bed boys
Impressive that you got 12 minutes of content from nothing.
You seem flustered , and disappointed? I don't blame you or am I criticzing you , because for 60 Anniversary we all wanted more
Could you explain the reasons why you'd go with the hardcore vs the ATAC?
Why Change what's working for them at least they are dealing with the clutch suspension system

Finally a positive cat fan haha, thought I would never find one.
Thx for getting in video knowing your time was limited.
No worries!
11:16 “what happen?...we’re a mess today” hahaha enjoy the POW.
Omg not everyone forgetting that there are new clutches🤯🤯
I honestly forgot that Cat made sleds😅🤣😂
Lol 🤣
cat probably spent all their R&D budget paying out doo over that dumb lawsuit.
Think they (brp) only got the Rights to use the name Lynx ,

hope to see a 900 or 950 non turbo that beats the snot out of poo and doo
😳😂😂

60th anniversary and Polaris blew em off the mountain, sad.
Articat is done and has been for awhile !!!!
Whats the difference between this and yamaha's alpha?
2023 is the new sled from Cat/Yamaha, new chassis, new 4 stroke, more power and same weight as a 2 stroke
Speculation or real facts ??
@@aaronmcfee506 coming from a cat employee
Yeah, ok 👌.. 4 stroke at 2 stroke weight. Pass that joint my friend.
Eh eh pass it this way too
Can I get air shocks on the hard core
Whats your honest opinion on the new lines of sleds? Who would you choose an why?
Cat doesn't even have to put on a factory turbo to make as much hp as Polaris and ski doo
I've been with cat since 94 I'm going to polaris

Don't ask me way I'm hoping a supercharger over a turbo charger guess it's something different
@@dlarsen7532 well, that would be good to. I just hope that whatever they go with becomes the one to beat :)
@@BeyondResolution I'm sure if Textron gets head outta ass and listen to the people and Arctic cat with the money say they have well nothing should beat them
I tried watching it but my internet kicked me off after the thundercat show
Are you buying a new sled yet or what?
Polaris is shutting it down this year. They got nothing on Polaris
Team clutches were spun off to venom products
Textron is not an upgrade
Did arctic cat just try to commit suicide? Years ago they may have pushed the boundaries but not anymore!!!, keep this up and they will be pushing sod. Rip 🪦 Very very disappointed. Switching brands I guess
cats not gunna be in the run soon ..I ride a cat but there way behind the push with everybody else smh
Lol Cat got nothing who you kidding still running 800 no turbo no thanks why would anyone buy there sled next year
There will still be a lot of people without turbos. Polaris was a limited release and they were gone by noon, didn't even last a day at $20k
@@leftyeh6495 you can still check a turb doo.
I don’t like how your pushing away from the summit or the lynx!! Arctic-crap needs to retire
I’m a fan of your Channel but I know you’d get more subz and views if you guys weren’t on cats
Cats a big let down
Cat is dead! :(
No it isn't lmao
@@richterbc2231 well they new to take something new to the market more then just a new clutch... new colors & clutches does not do the job :P
