View attachment 146763 Looks like a whole lot of BNG to me...

Everyone wanted a teaser....there you go!

The Cat's out of the bag, pun intended. lol

Must be a 2-stroke with dual rear exhaust!

hearing 500-600cc 4 stroke entry level, 129's coming back, two up viper, and a 800cc+ two stroke.... should be good!

5 - Yamaha is Arctic 4 stroke devision..

Considering Arctic Cat is down to a single 4 Stroke model (Thundercat) these are pretty much the possibilities:
1) Yamaha is introducing only 1 model for 2020 (Sidewinder SRX).
2) Yamaha will have the Sidewinder SRX with some re-badged 2 Stroke Cats for sale.
3) Cat will build additional models for Yamaha utilizing the turbo 4 and NA 4 Stroke engines (basically the 4S division of Cat).
4) Other then a Sidewinder SRX Yamaha builds some of their own models again.

Those are your 4 possibilities at this point. If it’s either option 1 or 2 Yamaha is out of the snowmobile business within the next couple years. If it’s option 3 or 4 there might be some future left in tuning fork sleds.

The 2020 teaser is clearly a Cat design so I think the best we can hope for is option 3 at this point. If only the Yamaha brand (other then the Thundercat) offers a selection of 4 Stroke engines then it might help sales a bit versus having two brands with the same Powertrain options. It will also spark new rumors of Yamaha buying Cat and offering the Cat brand as the 2 Stroke brand and Yamaha as the 4 Stroke brand,

Anyhow that’s how I see this all going down after Cat’s pretty much only 2 Stroke release.

There's not gonna be any rear exhaust on a cat chassis and that's clearly what that is

There’s no rear exhaust on that teaser pic, just some photoshop “go fast” lines out the back. I zoomed in on the better quality Facebook picture and it’s a Cat chassis sled.

Looks like a smaller sled about the size of the Polaris evo on a cat chassis.

From Cat....

Notice how they put fake wind noise over the video to hide the engine noise? Pretty sneaky on their part. Either it's...

A 2-stroke and they don't want to blow the 880 reveal by Yamaha before 5th. Or...

It's the 2020 King Kat with the Alpha and the 998t. Hiding it again because it's the Yamaha motor.
