PLAYFUL COMFORT
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.
SERIOUS POWER
8000-SERIES C-TEC2™ ENGINE
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.
SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY
ADAPT™ CVT
The lightweight, durable ADAPT™ CVT System is the industry’s only self-adjusting clutch. 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.
READY TO GO
Electric Start
The convenience of electric start is just one of the countless things that sets the Riot apart. With just the push of a handlebar-mounted button you’ll be up and moving.
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 – 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.
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 front suspension spindles for easier steering and better deep snow performance.
ADAPT TO TERRAIN
ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE
An adjustable 41.5- to 43.5-inch ski stance provides the flexibility to ride in a wide variety of snow conditions. Narrow it up for better agility in the backcountry or widen it out for a flatter, more stable trail ride.
RIDE BOLDLY
REINFORCED RUNNING BOARDS
With new rugged styling and improved durability, Riot’s running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for extra rigidity and are designed to take the impact when you send it.
BRIGHTEN ANY RIDE
LED Headlight
A premium LED headlight is crucial to optimize your visibility. Equipped with both high and low beams, this headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width.
VERSATILE SUSPENSION
ATAC® Adjustable On-the-Fly Suspension
The ATAC® Adjustable On-the-Fly Suspension immediately adjusts the FOX® ZERO iQS shocks with the push of a button to navigate changing snow conditions. Choose between two rider profiles, three firmness settings and engage lockout mode to ride your way.
