I think we need to give Cat their credit here, they came with one mission and succeeded. I thought it was a possibility that it was going to be where the Catalyst wasn’t necessarily lighter but had better ergonomics that made it feel lighter. Turns out it’s both! Now just to see what this 858 has and then maybe we can party like it’s the 1970’s again?
I’m happy to see this come back!!!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. Very interesting results.
Thanks for doing this
Good info and love the commentary! Some surprising weights in there!
It's certainly interesting, I like to see the actual riding weight of each sled. It's also nice to know, there's really not a big difference between models ! Enjoy the snow all you sledheads !
I was hoping one of the end surprises was going to be one of the electric sleds you have test-driven. That would have been a great comparison to see. Thanks for the video.
Great video...thanks for weighing them all. It seems like the twin weights have pretty much been "the same" for years which is in that 520-580lb range full of fluids ready to ride. With the longer tracks, longer paddles and taller riding positions it seems like this is about as light as they can make them and not have chassis warranty issues. They tried to go super light weight with the 03 F-7 and it ended up being much heavier by its last year of production in 2006 because they had so many chassis cracking issues. I've weighed sleds over the years and when compared with a the 1994 T-cat (620lbs ready to ride), the 2000 121" ZRT 800 (620lbs ready to ride even with an extra heat exchanger in the rear of the tunnel) and a 2001 144" 1000cc mountain cat that weighs 640 lbs with only a little gas in it...the new sleds are lighter, make good hp for twins, have a better riding position (although you can add a bar riser and tall boss seat to an old sled and it improves it greatly), have longer tracks, longer lugs and more track behind the rider so better traction from a dead stop. Mountain sleds tend to be lighter but I believe that they have production sleds about as light as they can make them and still maintain structural integrity at a price point they can sell them. Sure you can go with carbon fiber ect...but that gets very expensive very quickly. Now it'd be interesting to take an older sled like a ZRT and put a 141" procross skid under it, a boss seat ect..and weigh it. :)
Would have liked to see this comparison with the prior models, glad to see it back though. All we heard with the rev’s was they’re the lightest thing there is. Then when the Axys was the lightest no one ever mentioned weight again other than four strokes were heavy. It seems the Matryx put on some weight compared to Axys
Very interesting, A few surprises too! Great work gentlemen! Love it
Very nice ! Great job !
I would love to see the original 2008 Ski-Doo MXZ TNT 500SS. A dry weight of 399 pounds was all the buzz at the time......Would love to see a real world weight on that one. Awesome job as always!! Keep up the great work!!
I'm glad to see this weigh-in back! Great job and I think you've done it the fairest way possible - fill everything up to the top. What does it weigh at the beginning of the day when you start to ride? That's what I want to know.
I really like these weight videos of the true weights, pretty interesting.
Killer keep it up
Most anticipated ST video of the year!
Great episode fellas! Just for fun would be the 90’s and 2000’s sled weights just for entertainment and reminiscing.
Great job… thank you for doing this! This is how all sleds should be weighed… ready to ride.
I find it interesting the levelling strap on the Cat and Polaris was to the front and hooked to that back of the Ski-doo’s. Riding both Doo and Polaris the Doo feels heavy on the front. Interesting, great video.
My 96 skidoo F3 weighed in 636 fully filled, ready to ride . 125 hp. Corner to corner it was flat out on rails . Dropped 1 gear , reclutched . It was a trail missle
