    We rode with both Todd and Dave last year during the photo shoot. Great guys!

    On the dual rail topic. As a Midwest guy who travels to the mountains on trips that are planned a month in advance. Sometimes the snow isn’t the best when we get out there and the alpha doesn’t do well from my experience in hero snow

      The 858 2 stroke gives off an electrogavitational scalar wave. They should come out with OP 2 stroke made out of 2 858 engines like this Cummins ACE OP 2 stroke:mart.cummins.com/imagelibrary/data/assetfiles/0058689.pdf

    Todd sounded fine. Answered the questions that were asked. Hes not a salesman or rep. He's not in the marketing dept. He develops race sleds. Probably ridden the sled more than anyone. Maybe he doesnt like to be probed 😂

    Idk about anyone else but my 2018 ctec pulls hard and fast to 90. But is all done at like 95. Hopefully this one has the top end. At least we will have an easy gear swap if not.

    Did SnoWest or Arctic Cat release the prices of the new 858? or did i miss it?

    • @SnoWestMagazine
      @SnoWestMagazine  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Arctic Cat hasn’t released pricing. Early February we’re guessing.

    Re: Dual rail. I think Cat is telegraphing their intentions a bit by dropping the Riot X. They clearly know there are limitations of the Alpha rail design. On the other hand, they also believe that as soon as the patent is up for the Alpha, others will copy it. So, they still see value in it for mountain applications, but not for trail or cross over.

    Im sad that the premier non-bias outlet has now been captured by Polaris. Likely wont hear any cons about Polaris units now.

    That first guy sounds lost maybe that’s why their sleds never progress and use an alpha skid that most don’t like. I was excited about an 858 catalyst till I heard that interview

    • @thenortherner705
      @thenortherner705 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As if, this interview got me excited. They will have the twin rail don't you worry. And that first guy is from Arctic Cat's very own R&D dept.

    I’m all for the 858. But godamnnn that was a painfully horrible interview. You think they would be pushing how much better the 858 is over the Ctech2 800. That was not good advertisement or salesmanship on the new engine. Dave Mc. saved it towards the end for sure but Goddamnnn.

    The Todd guy they interviewed did ac no favors, worst interview , my wife was listening in the back ground and said, worst interview ever. How could you not had compared the 858 head to head against the 800.

    • @ponycarfan
      @ponycarfan 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Todd is a great guy, 100% Arctic Cat and has heavily influenced the Catalyst design and the 858. However, I agree, that wasn't a great interview. I got to ride with him at last year's photo shoot and a lot of what they talked about in this video Todd knew a year ago, but couldn't say anything.

      I have driven Cat since 1974. A 634 Puma. I drag raced my dads 440Z and his 340Z in the WSRF racing association. We did awesome on those Cat’s. Owned a 700ZR and a 900ZR. My cousins drove Polaris. They would NEVER SAY ANYTHING KIND About how we would beat the snot lol out of them. But then again we did race professionally.

    I'd like to see a M Hardcore 858 146-165 with an optional twin rail. With a 3.5" pitch track for the 3" lug and maybe an option for the 2.6" lug.
    If not that like you all said just a twin rail option, but alpha rail is standard.

  • @user-nq2ue3bw3m
    @user-nq2ue3bw3m 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The Reason everyone wants a duel Rail is because the alpha tracks only hold up for a 1000 miles. And i ride over 1000 miles per year. I dont want to put a new track and drivers on every year.
