Both Yamaha and Arctic Cat sleds have the same body built by Arctic Cat!

[@flimsuxbl9695]

Yamaha and arctic cat have a collaboration. Yamaha focuses I would say mostly on power and durability while arctic cat focuses on performance. Nowadays in 2020 yamaha sleds are in my opinion more reliable more durable and faster.

[@janabarber1691]

@@flimsuxbl9695 Every high performance yammie I have. Has over 7000 plus miles on them. Ones from the early 2000's 700 triple triple and the other is a 2014 1049 hurricane turbo power commander clutched. So cat made the race chassis to hold yammies power she will rip your arms off and put water blisters on your hands. But that's how I ride. Doo is not even on the same page trust me they all ate my snow dust. 900 ace 800 mxz and so on.

[@curlybrownk9]

Nope the arctic cat is a 2cyl fourstroke 1056cc turbo 177hp stock and the sidewinder is a 3cyl 998cc turbo stock 180hp reported more like 200hp.
AC adopted the Yami turbo motor in 2016. The AC in the vid was an 1100turbo.

I used to own a 2008 Yamaha 130 horse four stroke in it I used to ride them very same trails that they are doing this video on from Cadillac to Fife Lake Kalkaska great trails to ride the sled was great to 130 horse four stroke it's plenty of horsepower and torque my friends Road Ski-Doos but Yamaha would stay with them didn't handle as good as the Ski-Doos but after tinkering with the suspension it was good enough for me I would definitely buy another Yamaha love that 4 stroke never once left me stranded on the trail started every time I'm glad to see you can get the Arctic Cat with the Yamaha 4 stroke or Yamaha with Arctic Cat suspension what more could a guy ask for great combination great video thanks for sharing it ride safe

did I miss a race? Or what exactly was this video, besides boring a crappy trails with lots of stones?

[@chuckscatpackredline340]

Dam that cat moves out

[@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS]

Yeah its no slouch!

[@JasonCluckey]

now throw a tune on the winder and it eats it alive

[@rustyshackleford1091]

Not really same sled just different clutching.

[@evandickson7275]

@@rustyshackleford1091 Not the same sled at all, completely different motor🥴

[@rustyshackleford1091]

@@evandickson7275 Shoot I didn’t realize it was a 1100 lol. You’re right, the thundercat is the same sled with different clutching not the xf 9000.

[@loganclausen2228]

Maybe if the guy with the helmet cam actually rode the sled the results would be a little different

[@edwardmiller5335]

Sweet, ,,cat's are the BEST, ,,,,RIDE ON, ,,,

[@shperax]

This Arctic Cat wouldn't be able to move without Yamaha under the hood.

[@jeffcurtis1152]

Try racing the srx sidewinder.
Wouldn't be a race..hehe

[@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS]

The sidewinder and SRX sidewinder have the same HP..

[@tdavidg9176]

The SRX is lower profile via the shocks and has a lower profile track made for studding and better top speeds.

[@squelch6573]

Dont artic cats have yamaha motors in them now tho?? Lol

[@ivanbranagan3482]

That’s stock and it almost ate it😂😂

[@shperax]

Yamaha will always have the best of the best as far as anything goes.

[@kohenmoore6208]

04 articat engines are Suzuki

[@stevet1507]

Yamaha now owns Arctic Cat!!!

[@startmeup5156]

No they don't....Textron owns Arctic Cat! Cat puts Yamaha engines in their 4 stroke sleds and Cat builds Yamaha sleds for them. That is why the Yamaha's look like Arctic Cats.

[@stud3737]

Start Me Up thank you, u know your facts

[@curlybrownk9]

They started a partner program together in 2014 to replace Yamaha's aging apex platform.AC provides the chassis and YAM the motors. This has been common in the past with other manufacturers. Ex john deere/kawasaki, snojet/yamaha then kawi.

[@curlybrownk9]

Nope it's a partnership, they've been doing this in the industry for years.
Snojet/ yamaha eng, john deere/ kawi eng, etc.
Textron owns Arctic Cat now.

[@daver5149]

The Yamaha is faster has better clutch

[@snappydavegood8820]

The Yami clutches are not better than the TEAM clutches used by Cat from '16 and up. Top speed differences are usually the result of different track and gearing choices used by each Mfg. Cat turbos from '15 and older had Cat clutches.

[@matthorvath7562]

Better motor,that's a 1100 Suzuki

[@stud3737]

It was close because Arctic Cat make the engines for Yamaha

[@stud3737]

I meant the other way around

[@scheleneshevchenko7891]

@@stud3737 arctic cat makes everything but the engine for yamaha, yamaha puts their engines in the arctic cat chassis

[@stud3737]

Schelene Shevchenko yeah that’s what I meant

[@justinh6868]

Video says it's a 1100 cat with 250hp first yamaha did not make that motor yamaha makes the triple turbo not the twin turbo and the yamah is rated at 180hp + and it was only 2 sleds behind tune it and would of passed the cat

[@stud3737]

Justin H ok thanks bro

[@AmericanFreedomPatriot]

SAME sleds. different decals. nuff said.

[@matthorvath7562]

No,no they're not. That's the 1100 turbo Suzuki vs the 998 Yamaha. Nuff said

[@bultacowally]

they are both JUNK...I have a 1972 Ski-Doo Olympic 292 single 18 HP that would eat any modern sled for breakfast...
