Yep, with gift card and bag. Only got $350 off Venture MSRP, but again with gift card and bag. The Venom and Snoscoot aren't included with the Power Surge so all dealers want MSRP from what I'm seeing. Little disappointed on the Venom, especially considering it appears they made no changes yet raised the MSRP. Not surprised at all on the Snoscoot.That’s not bad. With the 250 gift card added in and the gear bag???

Only 350 on Venture? Not very good IMO.. Thought you were buying like 3-4 sleds.. If that's the case you should be doing slightly better then a guy buying 1?Yep, with gift card and bag.

I traded my 2 '21 Venture TF's for an S-TX GT EPS and an L-TX GT EPS. Dealer gave me $500 less each than what I paid for the Ventures (so that was a good rental for the winter!), and gave $2600 off (combined) on the new ones. Overall I'm happy with that deal. Dealer said he would have no issues selling the Ventures.
I really liked the Ventures for the type of trail riding we do (big, wide Ontario trails ), but I just couldn't take the track howl, and found them slightly tippy.
Looking forward to trying the Winders!

It's the Cat PSYou know, I had to go back and watch the vid again and you are correct. He does not confirm one way or the other. Maybe he will chime in here?

I rode my 2008 Apex 40th anniversary edition this past weekend. I hear ya, I couldn't take the drone/track howl. It was very annoying.I traded my 2 '21 Venture TF's for an S-TX GT EPS and an L-TX GT EPS.

That was one of the big reasons for me in selling my 2012 Apex. Mine was bad, almost nauseating, especially if you had a few too many barley pops the night before.I rode my 2008 Apex 40th anniversary edition this past weekend. I hear ya, I couldn't take the drone/track howl. It was very annoying.

I agree. I used to love the sound of my Apex. I hopped on one after a season on my SW and I couldn't believe how loud it was. I couldn't wait to get off.

sounds like you got a great deal, I sold my venture tf for the same reasons. I promise you, you're going to love the Sidewinders lol.

I was just looking at the stx and noticed it’s using the old spindles and a arms. I know they’re probably just using up old stock, but I would expect the newer arcs up front.

EPS is designed and engineered by CAT. Was talked about on Cat's live reveal.
I know its not popular to say this, but these sleds are all made by CAT. NOT YAMAHA.
YAM chooses colors, graphics, and now a good ski. Otherwise these are Cats.

Agree with you Dan. Less and less Yamaha in them every year.

True. The funny thing is that the Winder outsells the Cat version by about 10-1. It's a good gig for Cat actually, maybe not their dealers however when it comes to selling T-Cats.EPS is designed and engineered by CAT. Was talked about on Cat's live reveal.

I had an Apex customer asking me about which new Winder he should get. He wants power steering so I said he'd have to get the GT.
I also recommended he could get the T-Cat. He chuckles and says' I don't think I want an Arctic Cat. '
I say 'what do you think a Winder is' lol

I'm leaning towards the T-Cat if I trade.
My favorite colour package is the ltx se, but it has the base shock package.
Early depositors should be able to build their own sled. If that was the case I would get the se colours, QS3-R shocks, 1 inch track, power steering and heated seat.
The Cat also has a new primary and Yamaha hasn't made advancements in that department.

If we are on the build your own , I would order SRX with qs3-R shocks , power steering, medium windshield, heated seat , srx track (lug pattern ) that was 1.1 or 1.2 lug height would be mine this year .I'm leaning towards the T-Cat if I trade.
