Are you're looking to compare corner to corner trail performance, big bump performance, top speed??? all of the above?

Without question, the Apex will dominate the top speed race.

Two different types of sled.

Rode the Cat 7000 sno pro and LXR and this sled reminded more of the Vector than the Nytro....only slower.
Not sure of the demo set up but there was no weight transfer at all.
IMO the engine tone is absolutely ruined in the new chassis/muffler set-up and that tractorlike tone is everpresent while riding.

I didn't think so ....it still sounds like the nytro IMO.....well in the viper that is ,,,,I never rode the cat

 

[snoway]

not even close....IMO....how can it?

Anyone who has been on the yammie 4 strokes, especially the 3 cylinders knows that the engine noise virtually dissappears at cruising speed and above.

To me it is like the Doo or tractor cat NA 1100

 

[Mighty]

Are they using a different exhaust on the Cat version?

 

[09nytro]

Not sure!!!!!!! The viper was real close to the same tone if not the same....that's just MO....but I also went to the demo ride with a open mind

 

[Dano]

I rode the cat 7000 and really liked the sound. That's riding my Nytro back to back. Guess its a matter of opinion.

The Viper sounds slightly different, but not anywhere near a tractor...
