Best looking sled on snow.......and probably the power and handling to back it up. Too bad I'm in a 5 year warranty.

Trust me... he is a nut... and will drive this thing to try and break it... so i will have a good amount of seat time on it this winter... i will be giving some real world views.. good and bad... i love yamaha.. but wow... these are something else...

Some TY Apex guys are running them this year should be interesting. Post over on HCS of 126mph stock on ice. I have my eye on them but am leary of cats quality.
I'm waiting a year to see also how they hold up and run, if they suck eps Apex for me.

Moved to head to head.
From what I have read the 2012 cat turbo hits a wall on the top side. 110-114 for mph which is realistic and good number but the cat guys automatically fiquired 120 box stock.

there are guys reporting to d&d now, stock engine/clutching with a 14" wide track doing 126, and stock ripsaw doing 125 mph, both tracks studded, just got done reading that over on hcs... there is a guy from alaska doing 114gps with a 14" wide by 1" with 87 octane fuel and so far no deto light and detune... I belive these new cats are going to be very, very fast once people get some seat time on them to do clutching/and gearing. along with their hopup tunes they are going to be insanelyfast!

My hope is that Yammi finally figures out it needs to lose weight. It's been a fat #*$&@ for too long, and that makes guys stray. :>

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the new Cat is not lighter than an Apex and if it is, it's not by much. It does make more power and has a fantastic rider position...but weight is a moot point when comparing the two.
560lbs and the apex is well into 600lb range.
Over on HCS they had a Z1T Sno Pro on the scales at 584lbs..no gas...I think they are closer in weight than that.
Here are the weights. Yamaha 4-strokes are heavy compared to what the other OEM's are doing. 549lbs for a turbo sno-pro 1100.

Estimated dry weight is prone to debate :exc: .I stick to the HCS/sno-west numbers before what arctic cat stats.AKrider said:Here are the weights. Yamaha 4-strokes are heavy compared to what the other OEM's are doing. 549lbs for a turbo sno-pro 1100.

Hey bulldogbones...
Not photoshop... look closer... sled dolly.. Took this pic myslef... my buddy bought they new XRS, and sno pro... took these a few weeks back... since them they both got new 1.5 ripsaws, with 160ish studs in each.. ECU for the cat is going to speedwerx for the re-program... stock,210, and 240hp settings...
As stated... if this thing works as good as it looks this will be my next..
