Obviously, this video was taken last spring of course and we all now know theres the 858 and an optional touch screen if you care about techy stuff. The 600 is a beast in this chassis.... the 858 will be a real animal. Great vid!
Thank you!
Would love to see this in the old school, predominantly green like the ZR's of old. A modern, killer ditch pickle. AC fans deserve to have it back!
Well if you ordered one you’d have seen green and black was an option.
@@Joeys990 I mean ALL GREEN like the ZR2 chassis styled ZRs. Very little to no black, just in the seat.
@@andrewteal3016 they make that one too. Rxc all green. Look it up, it’s awesome!
Every sled made should come in a multitude of color choices when ordering. We're talking M.Y. 2024 here. Give buyers a choice. Can you imagine if Ford still sold all their vehicles in black only compared to the competition?
Thanks for the great review. I love the new Catalyst! Best looking sled on the snow. I love 129” tracks on trail sleds. So happy they got rid of that horrible oil tank/ chain case combo that was on the ProCross. This sled was worth the wait. I’m waiting for my 2024 ZR 600 to arrive! See you on the trail.
Awsome keep us posted on how you like it, Cat is back baby!!
Just awesome! I'm a die hard only Arctic Cat guy! Way to go Arctic Cat!!!💪💚💪💚💪
Love this sled. As an Arctic Cat fan, I have been riding them since the late 80's. I have had almost every version of their sleds over the years. These days, I look for light and easy on the ol' body. Honestly, I'm at the point where I think the 600 will satisfy me just fine at this point in my life. Looking forward to getting one of these in the next few years.
I hope they try this in the IronDog this year up in Alaska!!
I’m sure Graig at northern power is rigging a couple out.
Heck yeah! Man, I sure wish to race the iron dog some day! I raced the Nome Golovin race.
Sounds super tight, can’t wait to see the 858 in that chassis, she’s gona Rock..!
It does look nice
Can you comment on the uncoupled 129 a bit more? I'm curious if it gives a bit lighter feel. Does it still corner as well as the 137 coupled from what you have experienced? 129 uncoupled is quite intriguing knowing how well Cat is at keeping their front ends planted.
🔥one sweet looking sled, just not to sure bout 600kms day on that seat.. I’m a skidoo guy to the bone, but this summer I picked up like new 2013 f8 and I tell ya, it’s a great riding powerful sled, actually love it 🔥👊🔥🔨🏍⚙️⚠️
Nice very nice can’t wait to see the 858 with that sweet gauge hopefully in an El Tigre package
The snow cross “ditch pickle” boys are all happy.
Never wanted to buy a new sled as much as I do now. Grew up learning to ride on my great-grandmother's 69. Panther..... Been riding cats my whole life. So stoked to see that they are raising the bar and are back in a big way. Arctic cat, If you're reading this, as soon as you release the 858 in a turbo I'm buying one.
Love snowtrax! Well thanks for this review I love the Cat 600 engine. This new Catalyst lineup seems like it will be popular in the industry or at least I hope so. They look awesome I think one of the bets looking sleds on the market right now. If I ride my old ‘11 Skidoo mxz tnt 600 one more season I will be thinking about ordering one of these come spring.
That sleds sounds awesome. Maybe wife gets a new kitty for Christmas
Love me a good arctic cat !!
Good looking sled. The color combo is killer.
I didn’t care for the blue mixed in with the black and green
I know you won't have chance to ride an 858 this year but I'd be interested to hear your take on what a 129 vs 137 feels like on this chassis
Ive got that sled. One thing I noticed is the tsl is gone.
Why aren’t they using this chassis in snocross?
😊
They are, the two sleds are very close chassis wise
Hopefully the 998 turbo moves into this chassis with a belt drive some how!
That would be sick..
Next level triple twostroke built from the 858.😊
Hey guys, in your opinions, is the 129” uncoupled skid better or worse than the 137” slide action for day to day trail riding?
nice looking snowmobile. maybe i should just go buy one, maybe if i do that i wouldn't hate winter so much
That's what I did. Blast 4000 :)
You won't be sorry. All of these newer machines are pretty darn good. Winter goes by fast when you have a toy like these!
as someone who only owns can am/ski doo. I love this beast! I told my wife no snowsleds.. just glad the local guy doesnt have one.
Great review AJ!
Here in northern Minnesota, not looking like a promising winter for snowmobiling.
I am hoping that the upcoming December rain turns to snow.
It could change..
OMG yes. Let it snow already!
Its early. December is a lost cause for snowmobiling and has been since the 1970's.
@@bedlambikes I guess it depends where you live.
We used to snowmobile all the time in December. Heck, late November!
They priced the 600 right, already sold out online.
Lotta Cat guys been waiting on this sled.
What is the price on this sled? Or an actual number on weight instead of percentages? Horsepower?
They start at $13799 USD, hp is 125, weight will depend on what length track you pick and options. @@reggiewhite4111
@@reggiewhite4111 I included the prices in the description. It's about 125-ish horsepower and we'll be weighing our CATALYST soon so stay tuned for that video!
I need one!!!
The 858 is exciting, but I'm more curious what is after that. Poo and Doo both have 850 turbos now. And with Yamaha stepping out I'm doubting the 998 finds a way into this. So will Cat have a replacement for the current Tcat? Or is it going to take them as long to respond as it took them to get into the 850 game? I sure hope not as that means 2032... No joke, they were 8 years behind on getting an 850 competitor.
I like it
Nice looking sled, I must say. Sounds GREAT!!!
Looks like you came in to that corner @ 5:14 a little hot.
He went off to the side on purpose.
@@Joeys990 ok expert Joey...take a pill, just an observation, Joey.
Woody's 4 inch carbides are famous for understeering!
@@bedlambikes good to know, thx
@@bedlambikes that wasn’t an understeer 😂😂
As a polaris guy i would love to demo this sled
Great review! Little disappointed the rear skid was "glanced" over as it is just as unique as the catalyst chassis itself!
I’m so glad that cat has come out with something really good again, I remember in the 80’s and 90’s when cat had some of the best handling sleds, AWS was way ahead of the trailing arm suspensions of skidoo and Polaris, we won’t even mention TSS…lol… after the bad news of Yamaha going away, I really hope people start flocking to cat to help the industry in a whole…
Snocross sled is still procross (from what Ive read) catalyst for cross country. Very similar front and rear suspensions, calibration is always key, no chain case/belt drive is long overdue. Nice machine. And so is the 'old' still competitive, procross.
Already has a C1603 code. Did your thumb get cold at all?
I miss when Arctic Cat was their own company and had their own theme. They were unique like Pontiac, with their own thing. Like Grand Prix, Bonnevillle, and Trans am, Arctic Cat had their own thing going with Cougar, Pantera, Jag, and of course, the El Tigre. They just chucked cool sounding letters with numbers. I was conceived on an Arctic cat(yeah pops tells me this every August)but I wish they would have stuck with the cat names. Just my opinion.
Looks like a prototype still. Would you say it's nimble 'feeling' like the Assaults?
How dose that rear suspension really compare in ride quality to Doo and Poo
not a cat fan but this sled looks good!
How are people just learning about everything cats has out 😂
Do you still have that blue XCR axys. I still think it’s the best looking Polaris IMO
@@speeder757 I do still have it. I am currently waiting on my 129” catalyst.
I want to see some rides with the cat can you upload some ASAP
@@speeder757 I will be doing a lot of videos if it ever snows! I have a new GoPro too.
The only thing that sucks about a 600 is nothing
I concur. For riders who like to carve trails at the limit, 600 class sleds are the best choice out there.
Unless you spend half the day rat racing across lakes.
Welcome to the modern era of sleds AC! That old crappy gauge? No accessories to show? Nor a fan of the switch gear. Im sure the 600 wouldn't be a slouch. It does sound nice. At least AC is trying to hold on to the market. I honestly think 4stroke power is such s snall market. Ac should concentrate on 2 stroke mills. Jmho. Its still a giant leap forward! Keep it up!
Somehow you guys can keep the subtle diss of anything not skidoo going. Zeus quarter turn clips on an easy no tools hood removal on Catalyst is a problem but using tools on insanely complicated skidoo hood is just fine. Went on for years about Sidewinders being too heavy to be much good for anything meanwhile a Doo 850 weighs within spitting distance as much as Winder/Tcat. A 900r turbo is heavier than a Winder, God help those guys if one of their skiis drops off the hard packed trail lol
How dors it compare to other brands? Im not sure what kind of censorship cat is putting on the press, but damn its hard to find info on these.
600-class shootout coming soon!
Hopefully everyone offloads their 600s when the 858 comes out, I'd rather the 600.
Deals will be had!!
They still have a long long way to go to even come close to what is out there for 2024
I’d MUCH rather a simpler gauge vs a bunch of apps that distract from what I’m out here to do: ride a snowmobile. PLEASE manufacturers - less electronics, more simplicity
I want a new video not what was recorded last spring.
Well that's a large demand when winter hasn't even started yet. SnowTrax will have a lot of great content coming per usual.
LOL.... no snow and you want new content!! halarious.
It's an arctic cat 600 129. Don't let them foul you. A 600 is a 600. If you're going from a 800 or 850 you're going to feel a huge difference and will be disappointed.
only if ARCTIC CAT made good SXS like there snowmobiles.
Really to bad that this new sled looks so good and modern and it’s overshadowed by that old gauge cluster in it, come on arctic cat that’s embarrassing.
Far out
Ya the only thing that’s not minimalist is the price for a 600!!!
34 seconds\
I hope Arctic Cat don't put in 4-stroke in this sled. soon Arctic Cat be losing their 4-stroke motors cuz Yamaha stop making snowmobiles in 2024
This sled wasn't built for trail riding
You will freeze your ass riding this sled
Sled looks like it was 3D printed in person. Looks cheap to me
Because it was as a pre production sled. The production sleds are the finished product.
@@Joeys990 I’ve seen the production sleds in person. Sled looks cool and is a much needed change from the Procross chassis but the fit and finish needs work
@@Renegadexrs Well that’s a bummer to hear
I saw some of these in a show this week...not impressed...look cobby and seat is hard and too short...plus no dealers
The gauge and controls. 😢 I guess my only wish is they test the hell out it b4 selling it to customers. ...Not like the Recall Red Poo sleds.
Doo is no better lots of recalls too..😂
