As always, I love your videos. They are the most comprehensive videos for reviews and tutorials on UA-cam… Been on Polaris since 2014 but thinking about a Cat snow check this spring 👍
Hey Rich, The audio seems to be coming through only one ear in your talking segments, I think you may need to switch the audio of the voice recording from stereo to mono so it is equal in both ears. Makes listening a little weird.
Been riding since 1971. Never rode a Cat. It would be nice to try one but todays prices are way to high for me plus at 75 my riding days are near over.
The light weight 9R is still in progress. First stage is almost done. Got it down to 375lbs dry, same as burandts light weight 9R build last year. Not sure if or when I’ll make into a video. Stage 2 will go slowly the rest of the year, hoping for 350 dry.
Can't believe I didn't add the dry weigh in the video. No gas and no 2-stroke oil, catalyst was 434lbs. My 2023 9R 155 with 2.75" track was 429lbs dry on the same scale.
Yea, I was a cat dealer from 2010-2019. I was at the dealer show when cat released the proclimb, Brett Rasmussen was there (his last season with cat). He was not happy about what cat released. M-series was the #1 selling mtn sled in 09&10’. The proclimb really tanked cat. This new catalyst is a whole new game changer for cat and the sled industry. The 600 is surprising a lot of people how great it is.
I went over the catalyst the other day and its really impressive.

Thanks for the kind words. Cat has really put out an impressive shed this time
I’m 33 and for the first time in my life I want an artic cat
Should probably learn how to spell it then 😉
They totally forgot the leopard printed seat covers like the 80s sleds 😅
@@Fossillarson 90’s sleds to brah!!😂
great video thanks for the info. Catalyst looks like an awesome sled

I’ll have to look into that, thanks
The 858 should weigh in around the same. If what Cat told us is true, the 600 and new 858 engines weigh very close to the same.
Reliability is more important than weight these days.
Reliability is always important
Great video! Actual fuel tank capacity? Specs online show 10.4 gallons but I also saw a spec sheet that says 9.4.
I was just going off the spec sheet on fuel capacity. Maybe I should completely empty and refill, but everything I’ve seen says 10.4.

How in the heck are the 850s lighter than 650s and 600s?
Only says “600” on the break lever side of the hood??
Can you estimate the weight of the stock Can / muffler on the Catalyst? 15 lbs???? thx.
It looks like the same can as the alpha 800, which I believe (haven’t weighed one in a while) is around 20lbs.
The latest ascender cans with the ceramic coat are about 17lb
Have you ever weighed a 2019 xf8000 high country 141?
No, XF’s are very uncommon in the mountain states.
It’s replacing the ascender Not pro-climb
Did you make a vid of your light weight Polaris build.

Whats dry weight

Show me a polaris with ower 3k miles on stock interials on motor.
I have 3,000 MI 9r 2023
I will never understand why cat had the Mseries for 6 years and the proclimb for 10. Typical cat logic. We were a dealer from 05-14.
