Lets just say the only thing that is better on the CAT is the tremendous amount of suspension (10&quot and ground clearance. Its a slug, even after 150 miles on it. Really glad its my wifes. Well built bike though, and for someone not wanting to get anywhere quickly, it would suit them fine.

how fast have you gone on it... also the polaris quads have 11 1/2 ground clearance so i dont understand what u meant by the 10 of ground clearence on the Cat.

10" of suspension, and the clearance is much more on the CAT. Top speed with wind to my back, 43 mph.

DesertSportsman, all you can get out of your cat is 43? my rancher es is a 350 and itll do 48 all day long. is the weight or gearing holding it back, i dont understand.

I guess its the fact that it is new, not broken in yet and heavy. Time will tell.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] You have to remember your Rancher weights a lot less than his Arctic Cat.

After it gets broken in it'll have quite a bit more power and speed, at least my friends sp500 did. His went from 58mph (new) to about 62mph (broken in)
