New Stihl MS201cm

[RipRap]

Just read that Stihl has the new MS201cm available in Germany. You can google it up and translate the info into English, etc.

I wonder how gutless this one is going to be . I hope not

 

[XSKIER]

Yay!

201 or 201T?

They say 1.8 kw. That's pretty exciting!

? That's what they said about the 201.

The 201T as a stand alone saw is quite acceptable.
However compared to the 200T it's a gutless piece of crap with a crippled sloth like throttle response.

Doesn't have to be. And to be honest, the ones they're selling now are much better.

They have both the MS 201 CM and MS 201 TC-M. There is a sales video on you-tube that is in Italian.

I knew you'd be here any minute Brad
You're correct though, the new "Mk II" versions are certainly better although I'm still sceptical that they'd catch a decent 200T with the spark arrestor removed.

When stihl released PS, they hopped up every small saw.
It'll be interesting to see what the 201cm is like, and see if there is more hiding in it than the EPA and their ilk have allowed stihl to release.

It won't without additional mods.

I would like to see a 4-MIX 35cc limbing saw with either M-Tronic or EFI. I think the explosive response of the four stroke would make a nice package, albeit at a lower peak operating rpm.

 

[blsnelling]

You're kidding, right
