Snow-Checked a Catalyst!

[Blarfnort]

I kicked it around for the last couple of weeks since the pre-orders started, and decided to pull the trigger! I'm getting a 2025 Mountain Cat Alpha One 858 with the 154/3.0 track. I also went for electric start (my Khaos has that and I LOVE it), and also got the ATAC setup that lets you change the suspension settings on the fly.

The dealer says delivery sometime in October.

Lots of excitement over this sled. Hope Cat hits a home run with the 858 Catalyst. It will be nice to compare it to my 9R, which just flat out performs!

I'm really hoping that the Catalyst will be the second-coming of the original M-series: Lightweight, super capable and easy to ride.

But given that I rode your Alpha, and it handles very similarly to my Khaos, I'm not expecting night and day like I experienced when I jumped from the Ski-Doo Rev Summit (2003) to the 2005 M7. But I can hope!
