True statement. So that means none for 2023? LOL.. Messing with youI believe the shocks on the RR models, QS3R's Kashima coated, are the reason for the RR's being late this year.

$20,699 for the T-Cat.
I don't know why Yamaha is waiting another week.

Here is what I'm wondering. Is Yamaha's spring order program going to run at the same time as Cat's?
Or is Yamaha's going to run from March 22nd through April 19th, and be spring order only?
My Cat dealer told me that each sales rep will be allotted a certain number of sleds for their dealer network. Any number of sleds left over when spring order closes is the number of floor models that rep will be allowed to allocate to their dealer network.
It sounds to me like Cat already knows how many sleds they can build. It will be interesting to see how Yamaha fits into the picture.

They're combining graphics department now? The AC mountain 2023 looks like 2022 Sidewinder SE graphics.

Maybe the Yamahas will all be grayscale this year?

I like the 23 cats way better this year WITHOUT grey.. The RR and T cat was awesome in 22 Cat but those gray? UGLY.Maybe the Yamahas will all be grayscale this year?
Not sure about the purple in the 23 T cat? I would have to see it in person, but its not to bad in pics..
Also back on subject, the 2022 Winders were really awesome colors and graphics.. Best year overall as a whole..

I just had a conversation with my local Cat dealer.
*All pricing released to dealers is preliminary. Cat will release final pricing and spring order promotions on the 19th.
*His sales rep told him there will be a limited number of 998T Cat's for 2023. They expect to fulfill those orders the first few days of the spring order.
*The Thundercat and Riot 9000 are only available with EPS, ATAC, and 1 track option.
*998T will be spring order only, no floor models. There will be 6000, and 8000 floor models available.
I am assuming the limited 998 Cat models is because Yamaha gets the lionshare of those sleds. I guess we will see on the 22nd.

Thanks for update.. Was possibly looking at a 6000 but wanted the RR with better shocks.. Don't even offer it for 2023. Crazy

They actually said a new platform for next year. They didn’t feel it’s right to release when some people didn’t get to ride this years or even receive it yet and they don’t want to out date it before it’s hit snow. I applaud that. They still need to change some stuff and hope they do but not as major of overhauls as people think imo.Thinnest Cat lineup for trail sleds EVER.. Never seen anything like it..
