RELATED ARTICLES
Sweet! do you have build dates for the rest of the models?
Well there’s a sight that will make you smile!
What did cat announce at haydays?
If anything?
Have any been delivered, or is there a problem? Its been quite a while since the first 858s went down the line, and my dealer usually gets them in a week or two from when they are built, but hasn’t seen any…
They are the European versions. At least the RXC.
What did cat announcement at haydays?
Must have been quiet there, minus the cool boxed version of the final SRX and some lame retro graphics on polaris Nobody is saying or posting pictures from anything exciting from any brand
I’ve seen several write ups, and pictures of the updated doo sx sled, and the poo graphics.. Didn’t go, but was told that cat’s display was significantly smaller than in the past.
Also found out that AC isn’t even going to be at the big east show this year
This site is so boring. It’s supposed to be Arctic Insider…. as in inside information but there’s never anything new and exciting posted. Its all yesterdays news. Nothing on why no new Dirt Product for 2025, Nothing on Hay Days, the Grass Drags, or if there are any new tweaks to the Race Sleds. By the time they get around to posing anything its already been out on other sites for weeks. The site name should be changed to: Arctic Re-Cap of Yesterdays News!
My crew and I talked to a VP for a very long time at Haydays. They have new dirt & sleds ready to be built. But are being very cautious with the market sales dropping and the leftover models out there. Maybe there a little to cautious for everyone in the A/C Camp. Maybe 1 new model in dirt would make people happy for the time being. They also don’t want to go down the road like in the past. And burn dealers with excess inventory. As of a new race sled that’s not happening this season at all. Not making any SX sleds this season. Its a little bit of a bummer for some but very understandable.
They don’t have enough market share left to be this cautious. They are very close to, if not beyond the point of no return, with so few dealers, and so few sales.
3 sled manufactures and they are lucky to have 10% market share (last I knew it was below that unless you count yamaha as AC sales)
On the dirt side they are selling a fraction of what they used to. Can-Am has passed them, and turned into a powerhouse, hell CF moto entered the market around the time of the textron take over, and now crushes them in sales, and market share.
Even Robbie Gordon Speed is selling more units than textron, all they had to do was build they units he designed, and refresh them every few years.. Instead they have fallen to irrelevant.
Didn’t Robbie Gordon sue them? They probably can’t build them. We talked about CF Moto releasing a bunch of models when sales are falling bad. I’m not into dirt but yes they should release something. Dealers around here have so many CF Moto & Poo SxS in stock. I don’t know they can afford the juice on them. Some of it could also be Textron pulling the strings.
Make ArcticWear great again!!!!
That is another broken promise, and destroyed once great part of AC thanks to textron….
