Dan its a darker gold and looks way better in person than the crap cartoon pic on the internet. In reality they all seem to look best on the snow vs the showroom.

I don’t talk with dealer but with Cat rep on demo riding, and he said that they change geometry on from arm .LOL....
ALSO I dont think any changes in front arm were done, dealer may have been talking about how the Tcat/SRX have lowered suspension using dual stage springs or softer torsions.

As for suspension color that gold is not bad looking, it’s toned down and not shiny more like flat finish it looked. As for warranty from CAT I think you can get additional 3 years for like $ 1000 US .

I was told around 1250 USD for three years from Cat and 1600 USD for five years.

I know that is front suspension tho.....he is talking about front arm of rear which I believe is unchanged for 2020.Dan, The upper arm and spindle are changed to update the geometry to the race sleds. Look on Cats site its on there.

Warranty is pretty much useless if you going to flash it. I’ve spoke with a CAT representative in Old Fordge this weekend about changes from ‘19 to ‘20 , and he said that they change front suspension , front arm in skid got changed, and they added on electronic suspension a pre set functions. For money I think that a TCat is better choice.

One thing that sure would help would be some real life pictures of the Tcat. About all that is out there are the sales "cartoons" on the websites.

I watched the Cat video a few times, you can pause it often to get a decent look. The Tcats usually look pretty good. The new spindles being solid dont look as good IMO to our current spindles tho.One thing that sure would help would be some real life pictures of the Tcat.

I see it in this video....
Still would love to see additional pictures. My impression is pretty neutral it does not seem out of place with the green and black. I have a sled wrap in mind with much different colors so either contrast will stink or it will be great. I doubt there will be much middle ground.

Gonna have to look alot better in person because the pictures look bad. Why would the use that color. If its supposed to be gold, make it gold!
