Thanks

 

Interesting on the EXT 858 power steering;

 

Not sure what thread to put this in - anyone rode the catalyst riot on the trail? Wondering how it would do. I'm not a big fan of the 137 slide action, at least on the procross, which I currently have. Would like to have some transfer - maybe it works better with the longer front arm on the catalyst? I see they have the ripsaw 1 on the 129, which I'm not a fan of. That might work but don't want to deal with changing a track right away. I'll probably ride my procross one more year unless I come across a good deal in the fall - probably unlikely. I'd like to test drive these and see which one works for me.

 

For a 129 the catalyst skid kinda sucks for railing trails. A lot of people might like because it is easy to ride a wheelie with and is better off trail than the coupled 129 procross. Adding shocks with rebound and compression adjustments will tame it down. Stock it will pull the skis 2 feet off the ground if you don’t watch it. The couple 129rr sleds I had back in the day were like rally cars. If cat made a coupling kit for it I would add it and it would probably take the 129 to the next level. When I added the ohlins to it drastically improved what you can do with the sled

 

Full set of ohlins for a these sleds is roughly 3k from monster. Upgrade the suspension shafts so you don’t destroy your skid like I did.

 

Posted on FB, I hope they fix this before production!

 

I really liked the way the EXT looked on the website but the purple almost looks pink. Is this the actual production sled or did someone create this themselves??

 

That picture - and other angles - show the lobby of the factory. Aside from the receptionist, this is what you'd see when you walk in the front door, just to the left of the receptionist. The pictures were taken by Troy Halvorson. If I had to guess, I'd say it's one of the first, if not the first, EXT Special off the line. I'm suddenly feeling the need for a factory tour....

Yeah, when I first saw this picture, I thought it looked too pink. But I think if we saw the 1971 and 2026 in person side by side, it's probably a match in color to the 1971 original.

I didn't order one, preferring to put a bit more time and money into my 2024 Catalyst this summer. However, I think the new EXT is a very good sign for the future.

 

Color is always misrepresented on the internet, always best to see in person before passing judgment. This goes for sleds, bikes, cars etc...

 

Yup I wouldn't loose any sleep over 1 picture . My laptop and desktop are not the same .

 

I saw a better picture on FB and it looked more purple.🤘🏼🇺🇸

 

These were found on Facebook (I got them from Snowest).

(I hope the links work.)

Don't think they are new pictures, it looks like what @mile9c1 posted, but from different angles.

 

Copy and paste the picture when you have a moment for those of us not on snowest

 

I seen an updated pic, dealer in UP has 2 ext’s coming soon, its definitely purple.

 

Munising Motorsports.🤘🏼

 

Some pics of ext

 

Not sure why they didn't powder coat the tunnel on their top of the line machine. Unless thats silver and not aluminum.

 

It looks like it’s painted silver.

 

I believe it's painted also

 

I like it!

 

The kitty cats are on the line now

Overpriced and slow...It's a wonderful combination...Wake me up when CAT pulls their head out of their arse and builds another high performance chaincase chassis with some speed built into it...YAWN

 

MSRP of the EXT is pretty much in line with other fully optioned sleds from poo and doo.
Fully loaded comparison

 

You wreck shit, no fun person, negative.
Someone refresh me on the blocker option.

 

You can dish it...(STFU post)...BUT cant take it...Sounds like a softcore fruitcake...Carry On...
