I've been riding sleds for 20+ years and have never seen anything like the F8 SnoPro. Amazing engine that revs like a 600 until you hit the throttle around 60, then you know it's no 600. I rode a heavily-modified F7 for the last 3 years and that sled couldn't run with the F8 for a second. And it will dust any other 800 with ease and do it without sacrificing comfort and control. Gas mileage and oil consumption is good for a sled with 164 horses under the hood.
The SnoPro suspension is perfect for a heavier rider who isn't afraid to hit the bumps and moguls at high speed. The air shocks up front absorb anything you throw at them, yet aren't so stiff you get beat up after a long day on the trail. The rear suspension works perfectly with the rider forward ergos and keeps you planted on the seat not thrown all over the place when you hit the rough trail.
If you like to ride the trail like your hair is on fire and want to own the undisputed king of the 800cc class, this is your sled. I waited 20 years for Cat to build a sled that leaves me wanting nothing more than some snow and a day off work.
Upgrades/Accessories: Hand guards because the stock windshield is very low
