UNMATCHED CONTROL
ALPHA ONE SINGLE-BEAM REAR SUSPENSION
Arctic Cat’s revolutionary single-beam rear suspension changes the game for mountain snowmobiles. The unique monorail design sheds snow to keep your sled light and equalizes floatation across the width of the track. ALPHA ONE offers enhanced maneuverability, giving you tighter turns than ever before.
SINGLE-BEAM REAR RAIL
ALPHA ONE Single-Beam Rear Suspension is the first rear suspension of its kind. The shift from two rails to one creates a single pivot point down the middle of its Power Claw track, so you can carve up the mountain with ease. With an extruded aluminum construction and magnesium attachment points, this light, lean and mean design gives you enhanced control and agility.
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.
UNPARALLELED SUPPORT
FOX® 1.5 ZERO QS3 COIL-OVER SKI SHOCKS
With three compression settings, the FOX® 1.5 ZERO QS3 shocks are easy to adjust and neutralize any bumps in the terrain with coil-over springs. With shocks like this, rough rides are a thing of the past.
FOX® 1.5 ZERO QS3 COIL-OVER SKI SHOCKS
A dial mounted on the remote reservoir of these FOX 1.5 ZERO QS3 shocks lets you instantly switch between soft, medium and firm shock calibration to adapt to changing conditions. They utilize a remote reservoir for fade-free performance and coil-over springs to smooth out bumps.

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, this suspension is designed specifically with mountain riding in mind.
AMS FRONT SUSPENSION
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.
ENHANCED TRACTION
POWER CLAW™ TRACK
Unlock the backcountry with the Power Claw™ track, 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
The Power Claw track is built lightweight, with a single-ply design and a 3.0-inch pitch — all so you can master deep snow runs. Its stagger-set, curved-forward paddle towers won’t fold over or take a set, and Attack 20 paddles let you float over the deep stuff.
NEXT-LEVEL PERFORMANCE
ASCENDER PLATFORM
The Ascender platform brings a lighter, more forgiving, responsive, and durable chassis that delivers next-level backcountry performance and handling.
ASCENDER PLATFORM
Each element of the Ascender Platform is designed to make you king of the mountain. The mountain drive system has a flat track-to-snow approach angle for maximum floatability, quick climbing on top of the snow while accelerating, and improved overall handling. All-day riding doesn’t take as much of a toll on riders thanks to ergonomically designed narrow running boards and a forward foot position. Plus, the mountain-specific bodywork is 10 percent narrower than previous designs to let you side-hill with ease.
MINIMIZED IMPACT
REINFORCED RUNNING BOARDS
With more air comes more impact. That’s why the Hardcore’s running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for extra rigidity.
BRIGHTEN ANY RIDE
LED HEADLIGHT
A premium LED headlight is crucial for those night rides. Equipped with both high and low-beams, the headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width.
ADAPTS TO TERRAIN
ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE
With an adjustable 35.5-37.5-in. 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.
