SMOOTH PERFORMANCE
ADAPT CVT
The lightweight, durable ADAPT CVT System is the only self-adjusting clutch available on a stock sled. ADAPT has an idler bearing that keeps belt temperature down, helping belts stay tighter and giving you a smoother takeoff and consistent power delivery at slow speeds.
CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING HANDLING
ARS II Front Suspension
The race-proven ARS™ II front suspension delivers superior cornering and more ground clearance for an even better ride ride on- or off-trail. The forged aluminum spindles are 1.5 inches taller from ski to the lower arm, and it features rigid upper A-Arms for optimal control and durability.
PLAYFUL, COMFORTABLE RIDE
CROSS-ACTION Rear Suspension
The uncoupled CROSS-ACTION rear suspension provides unparalleled agility from powder to hardpack. The design enables the front and rear halves of the suspension to move independently, so riders enjoy excellent cornering and bump absorption on the trail, as well as off-trail weight transfer.
EASIER STEERING
G2 ProClimb Skis
The lightweight G2 ProClimb™ 7-inch mountain ski is tapered to stay on top of the snow. The ski works in tandem with the AMS spindles for easier steering and better deep snow performance.
GO WIDE OR NARROW
Adjustable Ski Stance
Big air means big impact, which is why Riot’s running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for added rigidity.
BIG AIR-WORTHY
Reinforced Running Boards
With new rugged styling and improved durability, the RIOT’s running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for extra rigidity and are designed to take the impact when you send it.
VERSATILE SUSPENSION
ATAC Adjustable 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.
