You got the best reviews. A non professional rider not sponsored so your opinion is the truth. You also give real world feel of the sled vs spouting off tech specs from the brochures. Great keep it up

Great video, keep up the great work brother! Cheers 👍

Excellent video and comparison! I’m not even into mountain sleds but I enjoyed watching the entire video just due to your down to earth commentary. Like another viewer posted, I’d much rather listen to your opinion on the different sleds without the sponsorship nonsense. I hate having to suffer through a brobrah video of some puke “influencer” telling everyone they can’t live without whatever machine they are reviewing.

Just found your channel, most excellent!

Excellent upgrade on the Alpha with the Pin'd running board inserts.

I agree! Thanks for the review 👍

As someone shopping for a new-ish sled, love to see the comparison. You did and adequate job :)

Great vid!

Very interesting. Thanks 👍👍👍

This is actually such a good and accurate review! Very impresssive

Well done, as all of your videos are.

You give a great review on every video you post really respect your options!!! One thing to try on your alpha is a 4 wheel kit still allows track flex for traction but holds edge like a twin rail on the late crusty snow!!!

Thank you.

I've always loved the honesty in your videos - I dunno if it's your accent that automatically makes you trustworthy or what, but I like it haha. I've grown up on Polaris since the 80's, still ride Polaris today, but I've ALWAYS had a soft spot for Cat. I applaud the HELL out of them for the mono rail design and thinking outside the box - that takes a lot of balls. However, I dunno if I'm sold on it. If snow conditions were always ideal and always had powder, then I'd buy an Alpha in a heartbeat. But fall and spring conditions can suck and that's why I hesitate. If they offer a twin rail in the Hardcore for the Catalyst chassis, I will SERIOUSLY consider ordering one. I love my Axys but it's gettin up there on miles(2K), it's been absolutely trouble free and still chases my buddies turbo Doo, but Cat consistently has the best looking sled on the snow and I'd love to see the Catalyst really propel Cat back into the game. Gonna be an interesting spring..

I've been riding Cats of all sizes forever, my last was m8000 limited .This year I thought I have to try a Polaris before I get to old so I thought I"ll try used first, found a 2019 pro rmk 800 with 700 miles. Been out on it 3 times so far and have to say it feels like the best sled I've ever had , I am worried about the engine problems we all hear about but I'll find out I guess . I am certainly not knocking Cats but I'm very happy so far, great reviews by the way keep it up.

Um, ...I don't have anything to add here, but I sure enjoy your videos!

Killer video and review as always!!!! PS why no alpha hawk review!!!!!

Great comparison video- have you tried the 2.6 track for the alpha? It’s great in less than stellar conditions, holds the side hill better, and takes some of the rowdiness of the 154…

I own a 2020 alpha and a 2022 Khaos Matryx . A 4 wheel kit on an alpha rail is my favorite of the two. Makes it more predictable in side hill like the Polaris but still alpha rowdy.

7.33 nailed it! Buddy’s 17 850 shut down on the hill and I couldn’t believe how stupid the access was - something like 10 fasteners of 4 different configurations😂.

The Polaris glove box is nice and big. My buddy the other day had a bunch of hot dogs in the cooker can and when they were ready he pulled a dozen buns out of the glove box. And they weren’t squished at all

I like to keep my sleds long term and polaris isn't one i'd consider owning again with the engine troubles they have had over the years. All have their issues of course.

How does one go about signing up for your tour company? Would love to come over to Japan and ride. Thanks for all the great content.

I just started back up this year riding a snowmobile, got talked into a 22 mountain cat m8000 154. I feel its hard to ride and requires a lot of movement and changing riding positions. Absolutely hated it the first couple times out. Liking it better now after about 250 miles on it. Last week I got to ride a new Polaris boost axys 155. I really liked it, felt much easier to ride and way more predictable. I feel it holds a side Hill much better, didn't feel all the hard to get up on one ski. I want a Polaris now, but don't trust them and feel they are more likely to break down and leave me being towed back to the truck.

I always appreciate your take on these topics, but the real question is there a modern sled that can hang with the all mighty Alphahawk!? Can one even enjoy other sleds after riding on such a engineering masterpiece such as the all mighty alphahawk?

I love ur stuff guy. Im a huge cat guy so that helps lol!! But im a honest guy if something is better ill say it. Been riding since I could walk im 44. Raced cats 15 years unfortunately had to retire from racing in 2017. Many wins and championships pro XC, SX, hillcoss hill drags to ice drags. Anyway i love my cats still amazing sleds even though media likes to bash on cat idk. Iv rode them all for me its cat or ski doo. Im more trail riding here in the east but i can ride powder with the best of them. Been west riding few times loved it I could go anywhere I wanted. Not that we don’t get big snow here in upstate NY just not always. Japan never really thought of people riding in japan 😂. Guess people ride sleds everywhere so awesome. Great stuff love ur voice sound kind honest and true down to earth. Thank u for ur work ur fun ur videos and opinions. Josh G.

So did you loosen limiter strap on the 165 cat or 154? have heard the 154 are alot more playful. Mine is 165. Also you know what you run for front ski shock pressure?

So I’m new to the channel, but I was curious having been to japan and living in the states, what’s the situation like as far as sleddable land ie public/private with permission and so on? Sorry if this has been addressed in the past!

Hey so after riding my alpha last year if considering getting a 2019 twin rail cat. I just felt the sled was riding me more then i was riding the sled. You think i should swap or tray and stick to the alpha

I'm hesitating between a gen 4 summit 850, 2018 mountain cat and an axys rmk 800. I want a snowmobile that is maneuverable, easy ot ride and reliable. On the Polaris I am undecided about the reliability, on the cat the same thing and on the ski doo the maneuverability. I would like to hear your opinion about that. Thank you and very good comparison video

I wish I had a big ugly dry glove box…. My g5 box is skinny and do not keep the snow out…it also ride as good as a matrix slash.

I got to ride a bunch of sleds all different mtn models and to be honest Ill stick with my 22 pro 850 155 on the axys chassis. Arctic cat is out due to a serious lack of dealer support up here, skidoo is a bitch to work on so its out, yamaha is just a blue arctic cat and I wasnt a fan of the matrix chassis. The matrix is cool n all but it felt really heavy down low compared to my axys, it was the same set-up as mine too which I found kinda odd.

I can try and pull the words out of your mouth, the arctic cat has more of a “wet noodle” feeling where it feels very hoppy and very easily thrown around. The Polaris is more planted but it holds a sidehill easier

I could not agree more on the cat switchwes, so stupid. have no business on the handlebars of a mtn sled. I talk talk crap about it constantly

The difference is polaris is the best and cats are junk
