UNMATCHED CONTROL
ALPHA ONE™ SINGLE-BEAM REAR SUSPENSION
This revolutionary single-beam rear suspension changes the game for mountain snowmobiles. The unique design doesn’t trap snow, keeping the sled light and allowing you to stay on top of the snow with ease. With more control and maneuverability than any other mountain sled, you can carve up the mountain seamlessly.
OPTIMIZED FOR DEEP SNOW
AMS FRONT SUSPENSION
The Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) is built specifically to navigate through deep snow. With lightweight spindles and a precision engineered suspension geometry designed specifically with mountain riding in mind, the Mountain Cat is the ultimate ride for deep snow performance.
Arctic Mountain Suspension is tailor-made to maneuver in deep snow. The lightweight, forged-aluminum spindles sit at a 27 degree spindle caster angle, providing optimal ski camber for off-trail cornering and more predictable counter-steering when side-hilling. They’re built to reduce drag, while the dual-phase alloy-steel A-arms are lightweight and durable.
SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY
ADAPT™ CVT SYSTEM
With its lightweight, narrow design that increases performance and belt life, as well as the industry’s only self-adjusting clutch, the ADAPT™ CVT system provides better throttle response, smoother power delivery, and a ride like no other.
This twin-cylinder, 165-class horsepower engine will carry you through the toughest climbs and the biggest jumps all day long, all while packing a serious punch.
The next-generation 8000-Series-C-Tec2 engine delivers a new level of clean Arctic Cat 2-stroke engine performance and technology. This new 794cc C-TEC2 twin features:
New cylinders, pistons, combustion chamber, flywheel, and fuel rail.
New fuel calibration strategy and Arctic Power Valve system with 3-stage control of the auxiliary exhaust ports via side valves
ECM-controlled electronic oil pump
Batteryless EFI
Exhaust Pop Temperature Sensor (EPTS)
Knock Sensor
Engine Reverse Technology
This advanced new technology designed by Arctic Cat and built in St. Cloud, Minn delivers:
Ultra-clean, more responsive performance
Enhanced power in the 165-hp class of engines
Precision oil injection
Exceedingly robust and lightweight design
UNPARALLELED VERSATILITY
FOX® FLOAT QS3 SHOCKS
ALPHA ONE suspension is easily adjustable for ride and intensity with FOX FLOAT shocks: from the three-position QS3 on the ski and front arm, to a semi-locking QSL on the rear, you get easy adjustability for maximum deep-snow performance.
ENHANCED TRACTION
POWER CLAW™ TRACK
Unlock the backcountry with Power Claw™, a lightweight track that delivers the ultimate deep snow traction and performance. It’s easier than ever to slice straight through deep snow.
Power Claw Track is built lightweight, with a single-ply design and a 2.86-inch pitch for a 2.6-inch lug height and a 3.5-inch pitch for a 3.0-inch lug height track — all so you can master deep snow runs.
ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE
Easily adjust your ski stance from 39.5- to 41.5 inches for maximum adaptability.
REINFORCED RUNNING BOARDS
Big air means big impact, which is why Riot’s running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for added rigidity.
EASY ACCESS
GOGGLE HOLDER
Never lose your goggles again. The integrated goggle holder mounted directly in the dash keeps a critical piece of gear safe and easily accessible.
INSTANT SUSPENSION CONTROL
ATAC ON-THE-FLY SUSPENSION
Switch between soft, medium and firm suspension at the push of a button, with handlebar-mounted controls that automatically and immediately adjust your suspension FOX ZERO iQS gas shocks. Available on select models.
BRIGHTEN ANY RIDE
With a premium LED headlight, you can keep riding past sunset. Equipped with both high and low-beams, the headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width.
QUICK AND CONVENIENT
PUSH-BUTTON ELECTRIC START
A push of the handlebar-mounted button is all it takes for the convenience of electric start.
ADAPTS TO TERRAIN
ADJUSTABLE 35.5″-37.5″ SKI STANCE
With an adjustable 35.5-37.5-inch ski stance, you can easily react to whatever challenges the mountain may throw at you. It only takes a few seconds to change, so you’ll be up and moving in no time.
