Anyone know anything ? I think I'm hoping for the lightest weight 45-55cc saw.
Whats next for Stihl? Ms200? Ms300?

We had the 241 but it got discontinued for the US market. Which is a shame.
Doubt they will be bringing another in that class since the 261 is still in the middle of its model lifecycle.

Me 262... still pretty revolutionary.

How long has the 261 been out? What is a typical lifecycle? Thanks

Maybe a fuel injected 90cc saw to replace the 661? Call it the 600i?
Maybe a lighter weight 362?
Or a ms202t-cm with lighter weight than the current 201t?
Most likeliest scenarios involve more battery powered saws.

Id be surprised if they made a slightly larger 500i but maybe.
202t sounds cool but would also be surprised.
Think you are probably right on the battery saws. Stihl does seem to be a little behind in the battery saw category.
I’d guess 10 years or so. Lifecycle on some models, net of variations 2.0/3.0, can exceed 20 years. 026/260 ran 20 years till 261 was introduced, for example.

I want a saw with a 4-mix engine. I LOVE my 4-mix blower & trimmer. Very torquey, and very easy to start.
I'm really surprised that they haven't done this already.
Although, with Stihl following the current climate, and going all-in on battery tools, I suspect that much of their efforts will be on battery products, not gas engines.

Picked up a normal 261 the other week from my dealer and he told me Stihl is doing away with the limiter caps….That would be nice if true…
